Montreal band Hollerado making noise

It might not recall what road-weary tours bands routinely did during the '60s, when they played two or three shows a night in different towns. But for Montreal rock band Hollerado, its current trek is something the band wouldn't change for anything.

Iggy & The Stooges’ Stolen Truck Found, But No Instruments Onboard

Canadian police have recovered the truck that was carrying Iggy & the Stooges’ equipment that was stolen outside the band’s Montreal hotel. Unfortunately, all the instruments had already been removed from the vehicle and remain missing. The truck was found several blocks from the hotel. The Stooges are set to play a concert tonight in Toronto using borrowed equipment. Since the majority of the equipment had serial numbers, the possibility to resell the instruments will be difficult, police said. On losing his long-time Gibson bass, Mike Watt said “Her last gig was smoking. Igg was going off and the Montreal people were pumped up.” The band set up a website detailing their lost equipment here. [Photo: Hogan/Getty]

New Eagles Song Hits MySpace; Watch Jack White as Elvis Presley; Nine Inch Nails to Release Remix Album

The Eagles are back in flight. It’s been 28 years since their last studio album, but now “How Long,” the first single from the band’s October-released, Wal-Mart-only album Long Road Out Of Eden, is streaming on MySpace. Click here to listen to the song. From the Hollywood comedy mafia that brought you Knocked Up and Superbad comes the trailer for the musical biopic spoof Walk Hard, starring John C. Reilly as a Johnny Cash/Brian Wilson hybrid, White Stripes’ Jack White as kung-fu Elvis, and Jewel in some capacity. Nine Inch Nails will release a Year Zero remix album, cleverly leet-titled Y34R Z3R0 R3M1X3D. The strange visa issues that Lily Allen somehow circumvented to attend the MTV Video Music Awards nomination show in Las Vegas will also force her to miss her appearance at the actual award show on September 9th. The Beastie Boys are following up their first ever concert in Brooklyn by adding shows in Detroit, Chicago, Toronto, and Montreal. Check out the dates after the jump. 9/20 Montreal, Quebec - Bell Centre 9/21 Toronto, Ontario - Air Canada Centre 9/22 Toronto, Ontario - Hummingbird Centre for Performing Arts (Instrumental show) 9/24 Detroit, MI - Fillmore 9/26 Chicago IL - Riviera Theatre (Instrumental show) 9/27 Chicago IL - Charter One Pavilion

Decemberists, Of Montreal Put New Spins on Retro Sounds on Lollapalooza’s Day One

“The thing about rain,” said Gaslight Anthem frontman Brian Fallon midway through his band’s Friday afternoon Lollapalooza set, “It kinda tells you what a city’s made of.” If Fallon’s theory is correct, the people of Chicago — and everywhere else the crowd came from — are made of pretty stern stuff. But crap weather couldn’t hamper a festival that came off as both perfectly planned and expertly managed. Now in its ninth year (with a few gaps along the way), Lollapalooza feels less a music festiv
