ROCK NEWS & EVENTS

Rita: You know Brian Michael would never pick you because he gags whenever he breathes in that French perfume—Scent de Sewer. And yes, the timing of our deadline stinks too; we don’t know exactly what’s going on with the Red Sox and the playoffs. So, we’re offering up our version of the Fenway wave with a photo of Noise Board slugger EMSTERLY who’s actually better known for her sweater puppies than her cut at the plate. *** The Noise was honored to be the recipient of the Best Local Magazine award at the MassCann/NORML award ceremony—a new event that was held (the night before the Freedom Fest) at the Bulfinch Yatch Club. *** SHRED (x-’BCN) picked up a DJ job in Glens Falls, New York, at WKBE. No more WBCN. What does this mean for the future of Boston Emissions and The Rumble? *** Gibson.com is currently using CATHERINE CARTER’s photos in rotation on their home page. *** SHILO McDONALD has joined the hosting team for WMFO’s On the Town with Mikey Dee (Wednesdays 9pm-midnight). This local show is still looking for a good engineer to help out.

Ed showed it in Pawtucket and we hope he’ll bring it to Boston. *** THREE DAY THRESHOLD’s “I Must Admit” is being played in the soundtrack of MTV’s newest show, Real World Sydney. *** HOORAY FOR EARTH headlined Obamapalooza, a rally and concert in New York City for Democratic hopeful BARACK OBAMA. Lolita: I think they should have called the event Obamapawinner. It’s a name with a more positive attitude. *** October 5-7 marks the return of Honk! in Davis Square, Somerville with 20 honk bands (street bands with horns) from all over the world (a handful of them represent the New England states). The Honk parade is on Sunday and is led by CLICK & CLACK from WBUR’s Car Talk. This event is multi-faceited event—so go to honkfest.org to get the lowdown. *** THE BOSTON BABYDOLLS own VITA LIGHTLY (a.k.a.

ROADSAW, MESS WITH THE BULL, THROTTLEROD, THE HUMANOIDS, CORTEZ, ROCK CITY CRIMEWAVE, and many more are scheduled for the going away party. *** The 4th annual Mass. Morgue combines dark electronic music, Gothic bellydancing, physical comedy, and a macabre on-campus tale at the Cantab on Sunday, 10/28. *** CBS selected THE VITAL MIGHT’s “Don’t Mind Me” to air on its Emmy award-winning daytime drama The Young and the Restless. “Don’t Mind Me,” off the band’s debut album Obsidian features Morphine’s DANACOLLEY on saxophone. *** WACKASS EGYPTIANS have updated “When I Say Patriots” with new lyrics, and special guests GARY TANGUAY, SCOTT ZOLACK, and ANDY GRESH (The WBCN Pats pre/post game show hosts) on backup vocals. *** ALVAN LONG (New Alliance) has his artwork hanging in The Sherman Café (257 Washington St., Union Square, Somerville) ’til 10/31. *** Being a New England based ’zine we cover all bands and artist who are based in this area, or made their name here. That is why we’ll go beyond the local starving musicians to include JAMES TAYLOR’s plead to the Navy to stop using high decibel mid-range frequency sonar that kills whales. He’s only asking the Navy to develop safety measures when training without compromising military readiness. Go to nrdcactionfund.org for more details. Lolita: You better be careful in the clubs—some high decibel bands use a lot of mid range—and, Rita, you may be the next whale to go belly up.
