Whenever possible, we at The Shit like to let you in on all the latest musical rumblings, rumors, and whatnot. Here's what's been going on this week.
Word has it that Aerosmith are currently plotting a spring/summer tour without Steven Tyler, who has joined the "cast" of American Idol as the new Paula Abdul. Is Lenny Kravitz the current front-runner to replace Tyler in the band? Our money says YES!
Cheap Trick were one of the first bands to popularize the concept of album-based concerts, doing three-night stands in major markets where they performed each of their first three albums in their entirety. Now, it seems the band will be doing the same for their fourth studio album, "Dream Police"...with orchestra! The shows will all be taking place at, ahem, a bingo casino in Wisconsin. The Potowatomi Casino in Milwaukee, to be exact Show Dates are Jan 20, 21, 28, 29 & Feb 4, 5, 11, 12, 18, 19, 25 & 26. Tickets are on sale now. Call the casino box-office at (414) 847-7922 for more information.
Inspired by the success of Green Day's "American Idiot" on the stage, KISS are currently in talks to bring a stage adaptation of their TV chestnut "KISS meets The Phantom" to Broadway, or Vegas, or both. Expect to see this production go live by summer 2011.
Seems Laura Dern, fresh off being served with divorce papers from hubby Ban Harper, has taken up with yet another rocker...can you guess which one? If you said John Mayer, you get a cookie.
What mega-star's newly-opened fitness Center in Mexico City, Mexico is reportedly already in financial trouble? Madonna wanna cookie? Affirmative!
Fall Out Boy "bassist" and Ashlee Simpson's dorkier half has been slowly rolling out his new project, the Black Cards. Here's the thing...the album is reportedly delayed due to Pete's incessant Twitter addiction. :)
