Bell X1 (And Cases of Whiskey) Warm Hearts at Rolling Stone Party

Nothing goes better with Irish songs than a couple rounds of Irish Whiskey. Last night at Branch Bar in midtown New York, Rolling Stone threw a killer party and stocked it with dozens of bottles of Bushmills Irish Whiskey and cases of Smithwick’s beer. One of Eire’s finest acts, Bell X1, heated things up with killer set of Coldplay-style jams. And after the band wrapped up their set with the funky rocker “Flame” — which singer Paul Noonan categorized as “celtic disco” — his bandmates came out to surprise him with a birthday cake. Sweet!

Springsteen Adds Glastonbury Headline Slot To Busy Summer Schedule

Photo: Getty Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band are adding another major summer festival to their Working on a Dream tour schedule, this time crossing the Atlantic to headline an evening at the UK’s famed Glastonbury Festival. Springsteen had been rumored to be among the headliners for some time, but it finally became official with an announcement on the festival’s website. “I’m so pleased that Bruce Springsteen has agreed to come to Worthy Farm for the first time,” Glastonbury organizer Michael Eavis said on the fest’s official website. “He’s one of the all-time rock legends and I’m confident that this will be one of our best shows ever.” Adds Emily Eavis, “I’m knocked out that we’ve managed to get Bruce to play. It’s the icing on the cake of this year’s bill, which I’m sure will take everyone’s breath away when we announce the full details.” Springsteen has already revealed plans to headline a night of Bonnaroo, and there’s a conspicuous gap in his touring schedule that has Springsteen idle in California during the Coachella festival, just in case the organizers of the Indio, California fest to give in to fans’ demands and spruce up their Saturday night offering. (As of now, the Killers are headlining that night.) And even though tickets for Glastonbury have already sold out, after performing for the Super Bowl halftime show in front of an audience of hundreds of millions, Glastonbury probably seems like an intimate club gig to the E Street Band by comparison. Of course, this is all in support of Springsteen’s recent five-star album Working on a Dream. Springsteen recently spoke to Rolling Stone’s David Fricke about his latest album, and you can read the cover story below: Cover Story: Bruce Bringing It All Back Related Stories: • Q&A: The E Street Band on Bruce — Their Springsteen • Bruce Springsteen on His Super Bowl Slide: Rocker Opens Up in Candid Journal • Bruce Springsteen “Furious” At Ticketmaster, Rails Against Live Nation Merger

Rock School: Lessons From Fall Out Boy’s Today Show Performance

What began as a mediocre Fall Out Boy performance on this morning’s Today quickly turned into an unforgettable rock & roll lesson. The band entertained a crowd jam-packed with emo teens with “This Ain’t a Scene, It’s an Arms Race,” “Dance, Dance” and new single “Thnks fr th Mmrs,” but their actions spoke louder than their songs. So join us, will you, as we count down the top five things we learned from a rock band forced to wake up around the time they’d usually head to bed: 5. Not even an 80-degree-outdoors-performance can stop Pete Wentz from wearing a hoodie. 4. Frontman Patrick Stump considers a garbage bag to be an acceptable form of jacket. 3. It’s never too early in the morning to cake on the eyeliner. 2. It doesn’t matter if you’re hitting the notes, as long as you’re spinning around hitting everyone else. 1. The quickest way to make an NBC exec livid is to say “goddamn” on live television.
