You’ve got to check out the band, Palomino Blitz!

Their music is creative and fun and the lyrics tell unusual tales that stick in your mind long after the song ends. They’re from Rome, Italy of all places, but lead singer, Mia Julia is half-American, that’s why you won’t detect a hint of an accent. In fact, her voice sounds much like Gwen Stefani in some songs and like Shirley Manson in others.

They’ve just produced their first album, “Nothing Wrong” coming soon to iTunes. In the meantime ,you can hear the whole album on their myspace: www.myspace.com/palominoblitz. Highlights are “I Can’t Recall” “Your Playground” “Nothing Wrong” and “Come and Go.”

This is definitely a band to watch!

Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler Takes Break To Write Book

While the rest of the band thinks Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler is back to using drugs again, a spokesman for Tyler is claiming otherwise.

Tyler’s spokesman has said he’s just taking a quick break to nurse a shoulder injury and he’s working on his autobiography at the same time.

Whatever the truth may be, these guys just need to talk it out with each other instead of through other people.

New Video: Creed ‘Rain’

If you haven’t heard the news, Creed has reunited and are releasing their new album Full Circle today, Oct. 27th.

In an interview for People.com, frontman Scott Stapp said, “We never felt like we weren’t together. We’re not looking at this as a reunion. It’s more of a rebirth.” According the article, it was Stapp who pushed for the reunion to take place who spoke to the other 3 members, saying that he told his former band members, “I love you and if I’ve ever caused you any pain in your life, forgive me.”

Robbie Williams Performs Live For BBC’s Electric Proms Concert Series

Robbie Williams made a triumphant live comeback in London last night (Oct. 21), as part of the BBC’s Electric Proms series of concerts.

Appearing at the London Roundhouse with a 38-piece band, including string and brass sections — led by Trevor Horn, who produced Williams’ new album “Reality Killed the Video Star” — Williams was in confident, relaxed form from the start. He made his entrance down a white staircase to current single “Bodies,” which entered the U.K. charts at No. 2 on Oct. 18.

Williams premiered seven songs from the new album, due Nov. 9 in the United Kingdom on Virgin Records. As well as “Bodies,” he aired what he said would be the album’s second single, “You Know Me,” alongside “Morning Sun,” “Blasphemy,” “Starstruck,” “Deceptacon” and “Won’t Do That.” Most of the new material harks back to Williams’ trademark adult pop sound, with little of the experimentation that marked his last album “Rudebox,” which proved a critical and commercial flop.

Stephen Davies, director of audio and music at BBC Worldwide said: ”We knew that there would be significant interest in this concert, but the public reaction has exceeded all of our expectations.”

UPDATE: Robbie Williams set a world record yesterday by having the most screenings of a live concert in theaters.The BBC’s live show “Electric Proms” was broadcast simultaneously in venues all over the world in 23 countries.Extra screenings are planned in the coming weeks for countries a bit further from Williams’ native England including Australia and South Africa.

The Temper Trap, from Melbourne, Australia, are currently scoring a huge hit in the UK with their first single, ‘Sweet Disposition.’ The song peaked at #6 on the UK Single Charts last week.

The Temper Trap, lead by frontman Dougy, have been writing and touring Australia, catching the ears of many, including world renowned producer Jim Abiss who made the journey to melbourne to assist the Temper Trap in delivering their debut record. With a series of epic new tracks set for release on their much anticipated debut album, the band has conquered adventurous new territory, building on their rich foundations in a natural progression.
