Q And Not U are looking to release a DVD.
Despite the band splitting up, they are looking for live footage collected by fans over the years to include in the film. Dischord Records want people to email them if they think they have footage that may be useful in putting the DVD together.
The members of the band have been busy since the split with Harris Klahr working on his own under the name President, John Davis playing in Georgia James and Chris Richardson perfomring as Ris Paul Ric.

Queens Of The Stone Age were asked to leave a Californian rehab facility where they were playing an intimate set for patients last week after they opened their set with ‘Feel Good Hit Of The Summer‘, a song which features the line “Nicotine, valium, vicodin, marijuana, ecstasy and alcohol…c-c-c-c-c-cocaine”.
This didn’t go down too well with staff at the facility who promptly pulled the plug on the band’s amps and ushered them off the premises.
Download festival at Castle Donington, was named top festival at the fourth annual Billboard Touring Awards, held at the Roosevelt Hotel in New York. Live Nation received the top promoter nod.
US’s Blabbermouth said: “The Download festival is a three-day rock/metal/punk festival held annually at the spiritual home of rock music in England – Donington Park, which hosted the Monsters of Rock festivals between 1980 and 1996, and 2002’s Ozzfest. It takes place in early summer, and is owned and managed by Live Nation.”

The monster that is Pendulum has been rocking the Crossfire office for some weeks now. Their party stuffed evil drum and bass and rock is catching on so much that the current tour across the UK was a complete sell out!

He has posted up a teaser of the CD with small clips taken from it and it sounds fresh as hell, so head on over to his myspace below and check it out. Don’t forget to order that shit as soon as it’s available too!
