Music News You Can Use: Detour Fest, Crazy Comebacks, and Mixtape Madness

Thursday, October 2nd, 2008

LA’s third annual Detour Festival is this Saturday, and the lineup looks delish! Come downtown to see a hodgepodge of over thirty indie and electro artists, including The Mars Volta, Gogol Bordello, Shiny Toy Guns and Cut Copy. The fest is from noon to midnight, best believe I’ll be there the whole time! For set times, a map, and tickets, go here. Also, check back with P+P Monday for my review of the all-day event.

Comebacks galore! Brit boys Oasis have issued new tour dates and are streaming their forthcoming album Dig Out Your Soul here. Also, Phish reunion rumors are confirmed; they have announced three shows in Hampton, Va. and will be announcing more shortly. Chris Cornell is collaborating with Timbaland for his upcoming album, Scream (bizaare, indeed). And finally, this one takes the cake: UK punk pioneers The Clash have a self-written biography coming out, which is less than a reunion, but more than I can ask for (yay!).
