It’s no surprise that Bleachers frontman Jack Antonoff and his band are very inspired by 80’s music. So why not have him score the 80’s classic movie “The Breakfast Club!”
Last week Jack did just that. He and bandmates provided a live soundtrack to a showing of the film.
See these clips from Instagram of that night. Maybe he’ll work some of these in at PIQNIQ?? (GET YOUR TICKETS)
Queens Of The Stone Age posted this image all over social media today:
We did hear there was a new album coming this year when Troy Sanders of Mastodon let that nugget slip out to Rolling Stone. Then we heard that the new album was finished when podcast host and past band interviewer Dean Delrey leaked that Queens had “just finished” a project during an episode of his show Let There Be Talk last month.
My body is ready.

One of the greatest TV show hosts of the last 30 years is going to induct one of the best rock bands of the last 30 years into the Rock ‘n Roll Hall of Fame. Late NIght comedy icon David Letterman is set to induct Pearl Jam into the Rock HoF on Friday in Brooklyn with the news confirmed yesterday after rock legend Neil Young had to back out due to illness. Pearl Jam and Letterman have had a long love affair with the band appearing on his CBS show several times. The induction ceremony this year will be broadcast on HBO and their streaming channels
Pearl Jam certainly is deserving of the honor with millions of albums sold, thousands of impressions felt at countless shows, and numerous songs that will outlive the band itself. That magic was present when I caught their transcendent shows last August which had some very memorable moments like this certain Chicago Bulls legends making an appearance.
Check out PJ’s Eddie Vedder playing with the Late NIght band on during Letterman’s final run of shows.
PJ played ‘Why Go’ on Letterman in 2006 from the famed Ed Sullivan Theater, made famous by the Beatles.

goPuff parsed through all the ordering data from the launch of the service (6/30/16) and late March of 2017, and checked out what Chicagoans ordered late at night. Specifically, between 2 and 3 in the morning. (MORE HERE)

It was 23 years ago today when we learned that Kurt Cobain had passed away. I can still remember where I was. My musical career had just begun and I was with my bandmates in a motel in Tuscan, AZ. We heard the news and we just felt gutted, spending the rest of the day trying to make sense of the loss. Nirvana only released music for 5 years but the good news is, that music continues to touch and inspire new generations of music lovers. That’s the power of music. Of Kurt’s music. R.I.P. Kurt. -wALT

Last year’s Coachella stream was a really fun online experience. I recall staying up quite late to catch Silversun Pickups thrill it and kill it in the hot dusty valley air, while sat at home on the couch enjoying my AC. It was a quality stream that also feature artists interviews and coverage of non-music revelry of the fest.
Last month, Brian and Lou sent one lucky winner to Coachella 2017 except there was one catch: he had to get the 101WKQX logo tattooed on him. He was good sport with
