Rock Act “Live” Officially Calls it Quits Due to Contract Controversy

Posted by on Nov 30, 2009 in News | Comments

Followers of evolvor know that I’m a huge fan of rock that came out of the early 90′s and one of my most beloved of them all is Live. They were hugely successful after 1994′s “Throwing Copper” and continued to sell boatloads of record into the 2000′s. The past few years they’ve still released new albums and toured, still having a large fanbase all over the world despite not reaching their earlier success.

Seems all of that is coming to an end, and it looks like it might get ugly.

Them Crooked Vultures Debut Lean, Mean Rock Album

Posted by on Nov 20, 2009 in Rock | Comments

This past summer, a certain performance, at a smaller venue in Chicago, managed to steal the thunder that Lollapalooza typically brings to the city and the music world.

That performance was the debut of Them Crooked Vultures at the Metro on August 9.

In a year of super groups, like Chickenfoot and Monsters of Folk, TCV has to be the sickest. Comprised of Josh Homme (Queens of the Stone Age), John Paul Jones (Led Zeppelin) and Dave Grohl (Nirvana/Foo Fighters), these guys were, and are, part of some of the biggest and baddest bands of the 70′s, 90′s and 00′s.

MySpace Gobbles Up Imeem…Anyone Care?

Posted by on Nov 19, 2009 in General | Comments

It looks like all of the ad sponsored music sites are going kaput.

MySpace has reportedly acquired Imeem for a measly $8 million. Imeem will now join iLike in the purgatory of MySpace hell.

For now, Imeem will still be run independently of MySpace, but, word on the street is that it will soon by assimilated into MySpace Music. Another rumor is that MySpace may soon be charging for music services, so, is all this gobbling up of sites like Imeem and iLike a move into that direction?

So how did it come down to this for Imeem, a site that had over 4 million users?
