Paul McCartney @ Frank Erwin Center, Austin, 5/23/2013

Paul McCartney's Out There tour just swept through Austin with a two-night stand at the Frank Erwin Center and we've got pictures (and setlists) of the pyrotechnic/av/hit-filled extravaganza over at BV Austin.

The former Beatle plays two nights at Barclays Center in a couple weeks and while  the June 8 show appears to be sold out, tickets are still available for June 10.

In other news, McCartney has joined the growing list of musicians supporting the release of incarcerated Pussy Riot member Maria Alyokhina who is currently on a hunger strike. He wrote a letter to Russian officials, saying:

My personal belief is that further incarceration for Maria will be harmful for her and the situation as a whole, which, of course, is being watched by people all over the world. In the great tradition of fair-mindedness which the Russian people (many of whom are my friends) are famous for, I believe that you granting this request would send a very positive message to all the people who have followed this case.

Meanwhile, the classic 1976 live album, Wings Over America, is getting the deluxe box set reissue treatment next week (5/28) with a bonus disc of audio, a DVD featuring a rarely...

It’s been a Queens of the Stone Age kind of day here at Consequence of Sound. Last night, the band performed their first U.S. concert in support of their new album …Like Clockwork, which we’ve since documented in both

Hand Drawn Dracula’s 5th anniversary showcase happens June 15th at Toronto’s Garrison, and Scion have sponsored a free 7″ release of a new song each from Beliefs and Greys, to be handed out at the show. If you go to the show you’ll probably be riding your bike or taking public transit, but if you’re considering driving, why not drive with Scion? The car company clearly wants you to be thinking of them while you’re at the concert, between anxiously looking for/avoiding your friends and puking discreetly under a table, and what better method for that than free vinyl?

In typical Ghost B.C. fashion, the Swedish rockers have covered another non-metal song to add to their covers collection amongst ABBA and the Beatles. Ghost B.C.’s cover of Depeche Mode‘s “Waiting For The Night” comes off the band’s Japanese edition of their new album, Infestissumam, as a bonus track. Luckily, the track has surfaced online.

The group’s take on the serene Depeche Mode track showcases Emeritus’ sweeping vocals on top of the hauntingly grim ambiance that Ghost B.C. effortlessly create. Let the doom and gloom overtake your senses with this cover and check out the orignal version, below.

The post Listen: Ghost B.C. Covers Depeche Mode’s “Waiting For The Night” appeared first on CMJ.

Even though Prince has some half a billion songs of his own, he enjoys a good cover. In fact, many fans would argue he’s just as likely to pop off a classic FM jam on the whim as The Boss or Phish. Here’s some fuel for that reasoning: Recently, the Twin Cities royalty has turned his head to the Pacific Northwest with a silky rendition of Pearl Jam’s classic hit, “Even Flow”.

As Dr. Funkenberry.com points out, the eccentric icon has been rehearsing a spin on the song, which “features a guitar duel between Prince and Donna Grantis that morphs into Aretha Franklin’s version of ‘Rock Steady’ before reprising the end vamp of ‘Even Flow’.” He’s currently prepping for tomorrow night’s hometown gig at Minneapolis’ The Myth.

Can’t make it? Stream portions of the rehearsal at Dr. Funkenberry, or via the SoundCloud plyaer below.

Earlier today, Prince dropped some visuals for his latest single “FIXURLIFEUP” following his jack knife-less performance at Billboard Music Awards. Big stuff ahead for the Purple One.

The theatrical Swedish metal band Ghost B.C. have already shown that they have a way with the incongruous cover song; we posted their version of Abba’s “I’m A Marionette” back in January. And apparently, the Japanese version of their new album Infestissumam includes a cover of Depeche Mode’s gloomy 1990 synth ballad “Waiting For The Night” — which, it turns out, already has-kinda-metal lyrics, and which can be turned into a crunchy metal track without altering the music too much. Listen to the Ghost B.C. version below.
