by: Kevin L. Clark, and Angela Boatwright It’s a murky April afternoon. In Brooklyn’s K Studio, there’s already a glum feeling in the air. Hollywood-via-New Orleans duo The Knux enter the room, and it’s clear Kintrell “Krispy Kream” Lindsey’s voice is in bad shape—not a good look for an interview. But soldiering on is something Kintrell (below, left) and his brother, Alvin “Rah Almillio” Lindsey (below, right) are accustomed to. “We’re black and we’re from the ’hood,” says Kintrell, 26, the elder Lindsey brother. “We were always into hip hop, but we had to fight to get here.” Music has always been a part of the Lindsey household. “We started off playing jazz,” Alvin, 24, says. “Our mom put us in the marching band when I was in sixth grade.” But Edward Livingston Middle School wasn’t strong enough to keep the Lindsey brothers from exploring extracurricular activities. Kintrell chimes in, as if on cue: “It didn’t work.” An already-strong brotherly bond got deeper while listening to verses from the Wu-Tang Clan and the Gravediggaz. And then Hurricane Katrina became the true test of family strength. “We never evacuated when Katrina hit,” says Kintrell. “We were driving back to New Orleans, and we kept seeing cars going in the opposite direction.” After the Lindsey family spent a week sleeping in their blue 2001 Saturn Ion, The Knux left the slums of New Orleans for the ritzy Hollywood Hills. After building healthy relationships with industry insiders like Shady Records A&R Director Dart Parker and Atlantic Records Senior Vice President of A&R Mike Caren, the duo began recording their debut, Remind Me In 3 Days (Chic Freak/HHH/Interscope). And with the change of scenery came experimentation in their music. “You never know what the hell we’re going to do,” says Al. “I don’t want people to expect any one thing from us.” Today, The Knux say their brand of “abstract-progressive” music allows them to take risks. The twosome’s caffeine-induced neckbreaker “Capp

Smoking Section: Pete Doherty, Mick Jones, and Solomon Burke

The Smoking Section spoke with Pete Doherty just before his most recent drug relapse and return to rehab. At that time, however, the Babyshambles leader was proudly clean and sober: “I’m still a bit wobbly,” Pete Doherty tells the Smoking Section. “Like a newborn horse. But I’m getting there.” Two weeks out of rehab — where he addressed his well-documented addictions to crack and heroin — the Babyshambles frontman is holed up in a quaint cottage in Marlborough, England, with his bandmate and sober-buddy, guitarist Mick Whitnall. Though Babyshambles’ new album, Shotter’s Nation, is a fantastic work, recorded in the haze of the past two years, Doherty attests that “we’ve been more creative since we’ve been clean.” In addition to constant guitar picking, the two have been taking morning walks through the British countryside, where Doherty traded in his syringe for a fishing pole. “I caught two dogfish and three haddock,” Doherty says cheerfully. And even though Amy Winehouse spent a night with them, working on a new tune called “1939 Returning,” Doherty’s still on the wagon, gearing up for an arena tour in the U.K. “We’ve got to be on the ball for that,” he says. Then maybe America? “I’d come tomorrow if they’d let me in.” * * * * Back in 1975, Mick Jones and Tony James started a band called the London SS. “Fate stopped that band from success because of the bad karma associated with the name,” says James. So the pals wished each other well and went separate ways — Jones formed the Clash, James hooked up with Generation X. Twenty-seven years later, astounded at their ability to share music on the Web, the pair rekindled their musical bond, forming Carbon/Silicon and releasing free music on their site. “People kept saying, ‘When are you going to have a proper record out?’ ” says Jones.

Pete Doherty And Amy Winehouse Making Beautiful Music Together

From CELE|BITCHY -- They probably will make great music together. They are both pretty good musicians. But having them hang out and all? Well, perhaps they aren't the most positive influences on each other. Check out the details of their song and dance, after the jump! Amy Winehouse and Pete Doherty are releasing a duet together These two are probably just friends who have multiple arrests, music, nationality and a love of drugs in common, but look how the two drunken singers are hanging onto each other outside of Amy’s house. She has an opening for a new leech after her husband, Blake Fielder Civil, took up with a blond ex girlfriend who started visiting him in prison. She’s been auditioning various guys these past few weeks, and Doherty seems just her type unfortunately. Amy and Pete were seen in a half-hearted hug or trying to keep each other from falling flat on their faces back at her place after a gig by Pete’s band, Babyshambles. Judging from their hug, they’re probably just friends, and they’re both pictured with other people that night. They look like they could be brother and sister. NME reports that Pete Doherty and Amy Winehouse are rumored to be recording a single duet to come out this summer. That can only increase his credibility and diminish hers: According to the Daily Star Doherty’s Babyshambles bandmate, Mik Whitnall, has held a series of songwriting sessions with Winehouse in preparation for a single release this summer. The newspaper claims that the supposed single will also feature on the next Babyshambles album, and that Doherty said: “Mick and Amy have a great relationship. They have been working on material while I was in prison. “When I came out I went straight to the recording studio. I just want to get going.” [From NME.com] Producer Mark Ronson recently revealed that Amy won’t be recording the theme song for the upcoming Bond movie because she’s just not ready to work a
