Watch the Strokes’ Hammond Jr. in the Studio With the Postelles

On Tuesday, the Postelles will unleash a four-track EP called White Night, which features production by the Strokes’ Albert Hammond Jr. and a remix by Grizzly Bear’s Chris Taylor. Like the Strokes, the band’s members met in high school on Manhattan’s Upper West Side but soon adopted a downtown musical mentality that captured Hammond’s ear. “They found a cool sound reminiscent of the late Fifties, early Sixties that I really liked, but they had their own take on it,” the guitarist told us when we

The Dead’s Eclectic New York Tripleheader: The Jam, in Photos

Photo:Bedder/Getty Earlier this week, Rock Daily brought you a report from all three shows of the Dead’s eclectic three-gig marathon in New York City. The shows — which Bob Weir joked were “just like playing a three-hour show, but it’s broken up by cab rides” — took the band from the Lower East Side’s Angel Orensanz Foundation to the Gramercy Theatre to midtown’s Roseland Ballroom (earlier in the day, they rocked the ladies of The View). The jamfest, a warm-up for the band’s spring tour, their first in first years, focused on American Beauty and Workingman’s Dead classics at the early show and wrapped with a triumphant “Sugar Magnolia.” For photos of the band in action, don’t miss our gallery: • The Dead’s New York Tripleheader Related Stories: • Report: Rolling With The Dead: Legends Rock Three Back-to-Back Shows in New York

Zach de la Rocha’s One Day As A Lion Unveil First Song

The first song from One Day As A Lion, the side project of Rage Against the Machine’s Zach de le Rocha, has been posted on the band’s MySpace page. As “Wild International” proves, the years of recording dormancy hasn’t slowed de la Rocha’s flow, as the rapper comes roaring out of the gate and never loses speed. The song sounds like it could’ve been on RATM’s Evil Empire if not for de la Rocha’s keyboards replacing Tom Morello’s guitar wizardry. One Day As A Lion, who get their name from the quote “It’s better to live one day as a lion, than a thousand years as a lamb,” will release their self-titled debut EP on July 22nd. [Photo: Getty]

Creation Records Founder McGee Tells Bands to “Do It Yourself”

Alan McGee, the former head of Creation Records who is credited with discovering artists like Oasis and the Libertines, spoke out against record labels in an interview with XFM. McGee urged new bands not to sign with labels, saying “I’d recommend a band not to go to any record label, I think they’re all fucking rubbish. You’re better off doing it yourself. They’re living in the past.” McGee apparently practices what he preaches, as Poptones Records, the company he founded following the demise of Creation, has pretty much ceased to exist as the music industry continues to tilt digitally. Poptones was responsible for bringing the Hives to the U.K. and released side projects of bands like the Beta Band and the Icarus Line. The label’s website went offline this past May.

News Ticker: The Grateful Dead, Flaming Lips and Zach de la Rocha

Mickey Hart of the Grateful Dead said the band stands “at the ready to be of service” for Barack Obama’s presidential campaign. The surviving members of the Dead last performed together at an Obama fundraiser in San Francisco in February. The Flaming Lips will contribute a new song, “Cosmic Trigger 2,” to the soundtrack to the fishing documentary Okie Noodling II. The song is a nod to the track the Lips recorded for the original 2001 film. Rage Against the Machine’s Zach de la Rocha will release an EP with his side project One Day As a Lion on July 22nd. The band also features ex-Mars Volta drummer Jon Theodore.

Inside Joseph Arthur’s Studio: A Tour of the Songwriter’s Artistic Haven

Rock Daily recently crashed Joseph Arthur’s Rolling Stone style shoot at the singer/songwriters Brooklyn, New York art gallery (what he has dubbed the the MOMAR — Museum of Modern Arthur). He gave us a tour of his creative haven, which includes a gallery, painting studio, performance stage and even a self-built recording studio. Arthur is an art producing machine — this year he will release 4 EPs and a full-length album with his band, and has piles of paintings in his joint. “I don’t really feel like I work particularly hard,” he says. “Making paintings or music is like child’s play to me, it’s rooted in inspiration, and I think the key for any artist is to keep your inspiration alive and ignore whatever forces try to kill it.” While Arthur’s songs range from dreamy acoustic ballads to punchy rock songs, his sound tends towards a soft and sweet aesthetic. Not so with his creepily edgy artwork, which borrows from Basquiat-style graffiti and Warhol-like repetitive screen prints, and shows off a darker, more mysterious side. Click above to check out the video to see how he paints while performing music live and the incredible results.

Arctic Monkeys Side Project The Last Shadow Puppets Arrive in NYC

Though no one could quite remember the name of the band, a few dozen New Yorkers showed up at Brooklyn’s Sound Fix Lounge last night for a “surprise” acoustic gig by the Last Shadow Puppets: a collaboration between Arctic Monkeys singer Alex Turner and his mate Miles Kane from U.K. group the Rascals. The pair worked through unplugged renditions of eight songs from their forthcoming album to a crowd that included Vampire Weekend’s Ezra Koenig and Rostam Batmanglij. (VW fans will be pleased to know that drummer Chris Thompson is doing just fine after being hit by a taxi in London last week. “He didn’t even need stitches,” Batmanglij says.) The Puppets’ set was decidedly low-key, coming on more like noir-ish Sixties soundtrack music than the loose-limbed Brit-punk of the Arctic Monkeys. Or, as one astute fan noted: “If the Arctic Monkeys are Blur, this is the Good, The Bad and The Queen.” The duo’s debut album, The Age Of Understatement, is due out April 21st, if that sounds like your cup of tea. For our part, we were impressed. [Photo: Bao Nguyen]

Rewind: The Week in Rock Daily

Pearl Jam kicked off the weekend’s Lollapalooza festivities in Chicago with a super-intimate gig packed with rarities and covers. Ryan Adams admitted that people still can’t get over that whole Gap-ad thing. Maynard James Keenan gave his Puscifer side project’s debut album an anatomically correct name. In honor of Prince’s Planet Earth album, Rob Sheffield explored lesser-known gems buried in the Purple One’s vast catalog. Rock Daily brought Rolling Stone’s celebration of all things Guns N’ Roses to a conclusion with a video girl photo gallery, footage of early GN’R gigs, photos from the band’s formative years and a bunch of pics of awesome hair-metal guitars.

The Flaming Lips Rock in 2010 With “Dark Side of the Moon” Show

There is a reason why the Flaming Lips have become one of the most improbably famous rock bands in the world: they are ridiculous. Seeing band ring in the new year at the Cox Center, their home city’s oldest venue for arena rock — in the same room where a teenage version of frontman Wayne Coyne once saw both the Who and Led Zeppelin give lessons on rock showmanship — it’s hard not to admire the Lips’ goofy charisma and general display of balls (both literal and metaphoric).

Nick Jonas Announces Album With Side Project, The Administration

However, the post bearing that title on the Jonas Brothers’ MySpace page carried only good news for fans of the power-pop trio: Nick Jonas will release a new album with his side project the Administration in early 2010. According to Nick, the album was recorded in Nashville, Tennessee, during a two-week span during which brother Kevin spent time with his fian

Mars Volta and Mastodon Pummel the Outside Lands Festival

Photograph by Chris Tuite for RollingStone.com The Mars Volta wrapped day two at Outside Lands’ Twin Peaks stage with a thundering and delirious 90-minute set that drew Metallica’s Lars Ulrich and Robert Trujillo and their U.K. tourmates Mastodon to the side of the stage to gawk. The band, led by Omar Rodríguez-López and vocalist Cedric Bixler-Zavala, maxed out allowable sound levels with their theatrical, histrionic brand of meandering, mystical loud-soft prog-metal. Set against a patterned bac

Cobra Starship “Just Want Kids to Dance” On First-Ever Headlining Tour

After spending the last two years touring supporting bands like labelmates Fall Out Boy and the Academy Is…, Cobra Starship are hitting the road tomorrow for their first-ever headlining tour. The band — which originated as the side project of Midtown frontman Gabe Saporta and became famous for performing the theme song to Snakes on a Plane — has already sold out more than half of the forty-nine small club dates, and Saporta says anyone coming to a show can expect a party. “We’
