“Me and ‘Dre were on the conference call [recently]. He’s working on his album; my album is done. We’re gonna wait until the top of the year – January or February – to put it out. Then Dre is gonna come hit y’all, and [then] we’re gonna do the Outkast album.”

The recent DJ Vadim night at Herbal was a huge fund-raising success.

The night, put on with the help of DJ Spin Doctor, was to raise awareness and funds for Cancer Research after DJ Vadim had been diagnosed with cancer of the eye. The night was a huge one and with Herbal donating £250, the grand total going to Cancer Research ended up being £3,000!

It was only last night whilst driving through the rain with a very sexy lady that a discussion started about how fresh the Canadian music scene is.

Glasgow will be the home to a new multi venue event called Hinterland. Hinterland’s primary aim is to showcase established and upcoming Scottish talent as well as some of the UK’s best emerging and established talent across 20 art and music venues in Glasgow.

Each music events will be staged in around 12 city center venues that will range from smaller intimate 100 capacity venues to larger 1500 capacity spaces. Bands will run from 7-11pm and will be followed by DJ sets and guest appearances in clubs running into the early hours on both days.

Although the event structure is still being finalized it will include a visual art element within galleries and venues, site-specific projects and public works en-route between venues. This will ensure the visual art program is fully integrated within the festival and provide a distinct backdrop for the experience.

You can now listen to Poison The Well on their myspace via a new stream. The song is called Purple Sabbath and is taken from the band’s forthcoming US ONLY 7 inch called “I / III”, set to be released on November 11th.
