Dayton
News Important news from the Rod camp: "Last night our whole world was shattered when with the exception of two guitars, all of our gear was lifted. We had played in Columbus, OH and had a practiced scheduled this weekend. This morning, we woke up in Dayton to find our van missing. We filed a report and waited over two hours for the police to show up. During this time, we found the van a couple blocks away all tore up and pried open. All the gear was gone. It would help us out immeasurably if everyone would keep an eye out for the listed gear to quickly pop up at any of your area music stores, pawn shops, or somebody else's rig, especially in the Midwest. Everyone anywhere could do us a huge favor by keeping an eye out for some of these items being put up on ebay or things of the such all by the same person. Here's a rundown of the missing gear: GUITAR AMPS / CABS - BASS - DRUMS - Eulogy’s Unsung Zeros have recently released a new MCD titled, Fading Out, available only at the Eulogy Online Store. The 5 track MCD preceeds a forthcoming full-length, which looks like a summer release. We will all be dodging flying drumsets soon if the rumors about Kansas City’s Coalesce doing a reunion tour are true. Look for updates at www.coalescemusic.com. Looks like the tour will happen in March/April of 2002. The
Juliana Theory
have just added 4 year-end shows with Zao to their tour in
Pittsburgh, New York and Boston. The band is starting pre-production
for a new album in January and will begin tracking the new album
the first week of February. They are shooting for a summer 2002
release on Epic. In other Zao related news, the band has
been joined by Eyes Upon Separation guitarist Matt and rumors
abound that vocalist Corey Darst will appear on the new 18 Visions
record. Seattle-based
band The Blood Brothers have been signed to ARTISTdirect
Records, it has been announced by Ted Field, the label's CEO.
The Blood Brothers come to ARTISTdirect Records by way of Ross Robinson
and his I AM RECORDINGS imprint. The five-man band will begin
recording their major label debut in March for release later in
2002, with Robinson (Limp Bizkit, Slipknot, KoRn,
At The Drive-In, Glassjaw) producing.
Last year, the band released This Adultery is Ripe
on the independent label Sound Virus/Second Nature .
ARTISTdirect Records is a co-venture between ARTISTdirect,
Inc. and Ted Field (who founded Interscope). Guided
by Voices will
be playing two shows with the Strokes and comedian David
Cross, the former star of HBO's Mr. Show, to ring in the new
year. The shows will go down on December 30th and 31st at the legendary
Apollo Theater in New York. Tickets will run $35 for the
December 30th performance, and $50 for the New Year's event. Jimmy Eat World have announced details of two headlining dates in the UK and seven dates supporting Blink 182 in January 2002.

Equal Vision will be unleashing several new albums at the beginning of the year. Liars Academy is the latest edition to the Equal Vision family. They are not the label's usual brand of hardcore or pop punk, but instead have more of an indie rock sound. They have played a few shows on the East Coast and in the Midwest with Cadillac Blindside. They have upcoming dates in February to support their new release No News is Good News. Coheed and Cambria, from New York, have also been added to the roster. An emo/progrock hybrid somewhat akin to Rush and Further Seems Forever recently returned from several dates with Digger and Breaking Pangaea in the Midwest. The Black Halos are breaking up, and their farewell show has been set with a gig at the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver, Canada on the Saturday before Christmas. The break up came when guitarist Rich Jones announced he was leaving the band to join Amen. Filling in for Jones will be Theo from Gob. The
