Fan-filmed video footage of former AC/DC drummer Phil Rudd and his solo band performing on April 21 at L'Empreinte in Savigny-le-Temple Rudd was ousted from AC/DC when he was sentenced to eight months of home detention by a New Zealand court in 2015 after pleading guilty to charges of threatening to kill and drug possession Rudd appeared to take responsibility for his dismissal from AC/DC saying: "I was just being a fucking dickhead You make your own mistakes and you have to deal with them and that is what I have done who has appeared on all but three of AC/DC's 18 studio albums has just kicked off his first solo tour in support of his 2014 solo debut It was the release of that album that led indirectly to Rudd's arrest with the drummer allegedly so angry at a personal assistant over the way the record was promoted that he threatened to have the man and his daughter killed Rudd's replacement in AC/DC is Chris Slade who also did a three-year stint with the group from 1990 to 1993 Rudd stated about the AC/DC songs he is performing with his solo band on the group's current European tour: "[Those are] the ones I like so we just brought in two or three [AC/DC tracks] Because we're playing the Bonfest [the annual celebration of the life and music of AC/DC legend Bon Scott who died in 1980 at the age of 33] on the 28th of April in Scotland so we've got three of Bon's songs that we're playing and hopefully we'll do them well for the fans in Scotland." Asked if he would like to play with AC/DC again in the future Phil said: "I'd like to be involved with Angus [Young But I still have some traveling restrictions and I'm not sure if I can go to America or not I've got some lawyers doing some work so I can go back to America So I have some limitations on what I can do and I'm just making the best of my situation at the moment." Rudd played with AC/DC from 1975 until 1983 He first appeared on the band's second album Thanks for visiting The use of software that blocks ads hinders our ability to serve you the content you came here to enjoy We ask that you consider turning off your ad blocker so we can deliver you the best experience possible while you are here Please enable JS and disable any ad blocker Happy Friday, rockers! Spring is in the air, more or less, and it’s time for the return of Bandcamp Friday! What is Bandcamp Friday, you ask? Bandcamp Friday is the first Friday of every month where Bandcamp waives their normal fee so that more money goes directly to the artist That means it’s the best day of the month for you to support independent artists Here’s just a small sampling of some of the artists you can support today when your money goes even farther Sundowner (not to be confused with The Lawrence Arms side project out of Chicago) is a post-hardcore/noise rock outfit out o f Toronto, Ontario. About a month ago they released their debut LP, Work Dream, on zBTFD Records, and it’s currently available on Bandcamp bass-heavy post-hardcore tune “Service Road,” which gives off a vibe like a heavier and more abrasive version of early Fugazi Then “It’s Our Policy” rings with a sound reminiscent of the darker side of The Pixies with its squealing guitar solos Then “Randy” comes in with fuzzy guitars and heavy bass to create something really resonant and noisy while the echoing snarled vocals create a beautiful cacophony that explodes into barely controlled chaos The whole thing closes out on the slow-burner title track that gradually builds up with symbols and melodic guitars until the beat slowly comes in and the song gradually speeds up into a driving noisy track that once again revels in the chaotic This is a brilliant blend of post-hardcore aesthetics and harsh noise but always with just enough structure to keep things from unraveling completely Work Dream by Sundowner Follow Sundowner on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok for future updates Salace are a doom metal band from Savigny Le Temple, France. They also put out a new album about a month ago, their sophomore effort called Dragged Into Rot, and it’s now available on Bandcamp Opening track “Madness” starts the album out on slowly building ambient noise with some creepy vocals in the middle but then “Icarus” opens up on a dark sludgy bass line that gives way to a harsh screaming vocal performance that carries through the long “Lies” is a full-on wall of sound with powerful snarling vocals that keep the full power of the track going through the long Other standouts include tracks like “Brain Crack” that starts on some interesting percussion before the harsh vocals come and dominate the sound sludgy track with strong percussion elements Closing track “Sadness” closes the album out on something softer with some staticky noise and some finger-picked guitar with growing feedback This is the kind of doom metal that never bores; it just blasts you with full intensity from beginning to end Dragged into rot by Salace Follow Salace on Facebook for future updates Alex Okami is a post-punk/darkwave artist out of Phoenix, Arizona. Back in March, he put out his debut album called Strange as Angels and it’s currently available on Bandcamp I’m not certain if Strange as Angels is named after the lyric from The Cure’s classic hit “Just Like Heaven,” but considering the dark “In the Dark,” starts out with some simple guitar before the dance beats and electronic elements wash over the track and transport you directly to a goth club in the 1980s Then “Telerañas” continues the dark synth-laden sound with a mesmerizingly dark and swirling track “Under My Skin” really pulls off the slick pop side of darkwave with sleek “Gloom Culture” has one of the catchiest beats on the whole album to create a dark pop song that is both eerily creepy and delightfully fun Closing track “Twilight” strips things down and eliminates the percussion to close on a darkly foreboding and haunting track that’s a little more mellow than the rest of the album This is absolutely darkwave the way it was meant to be and will delight the genre’s most ardent fans Strange As Angels by Alex Okami Follow Alex Okami on Facebook, Instagram, and BlueSky for future updates There are plenty more bands to check out and support this Bandcamp Friday Please do your part to support independent artists like these Issue 73 featuring Pinhead Gunpowder is available now This website uses cookies to ensure you get the best experience on our website  Learn more During the confinement period, you can access PSG TV Premium for free and enjoy all this season's match videos.

All the good singers are in bands and they're busy So we thought that we would try and look throughout the world to find [a singer] and the TV show came along I thought Lukas did a great job on the record went down to Australia and everything — but it was really clear that it wasn't good enough It happened so fast that I don't think that we really had time to develop a band sound — like It's really hard when you have three guys that are successful to get together and just start a new band like it's in the garage — it's impossible it was something that wasn't going to last and I wanted to see the same from everybody else." ROCK STAR SUPERNOVA lost Newsted in October 2006 after an accident that resulted in a torn anterior labrum in his left shoulder and a rotator cuff and bicep tear in the right (bassist Johnny Colt of BLACK CROWES/TRAIN filled in during the aforementioned trek) Newsted suffered the injuries while trying to catch a 90-pound bass head that had fallen from atop his amp The combination of surgery and a lengthy rehab assignment left him sidelined for up to nine months ROCK STAR SUPERNOVA's seflt-titled album failed to break into the Top 100 of the Billboard album chart after its November 2006 release The CD was certified gold in January 2007 for Canadian sales in excess of 50,000 copies The video for the ROCK STAR SUPERNOVA song "Headspin" — about Rossi's rocky relationship with his mother — can be seen below The track is an original RISE ELECTRIC (Lukas' pre-SUPERNOVA band) song that Rossi wrote with guitarist Dominic Cifarelli and performed on the "Rock Star: Supernova" TV show when the contestants were asked to sing one of their originals Mali has a long tradition of weaving that has given a rise to its textile industry The country is one of the world leaders in the production and exportation of ginned cotton fibre It is also known for the production of Bazin Bubblegum Club sits down with Oudy Keita to talk about the development and growth of the brand Lee Nxumalo: How did you first develop a love for fashion I have [always] been interested in arts and crafts activities Lee Nxumalo: What was your pathway into fashion Lee Nxumalo: How did you go about developing the aesthetic of Oudy K Oudy Keita: The brand is attached to who I am Each collection has a story and underlines a step in my life the first collection called Bamako Vibes was created before I went to Bamako and at that time I knew that I would go to Bamako to launch a branch It was about my feelings about the city of Bamako and my imagination of the country The second collection was called Kow Bey because when I arrived in Bamako I connected with a lot of people – from artists to models – in Bamako Lee Nxumalo: What is your process when creating a new line I think it is important to say that I didn’t take fashion courses or go to fashion school so my creative process is not common I decide to create only when I am inspired I make drawings with a lot of explanations because I’m not a technical fashion drawer and I tend to explain what I think I have a lot of discussions with my atelier and then I’ll look for fabrics I want to create clothes that people can wear in their daily lives so when I decide to create Lee Nxumalo: Are there any challenges you face as a sustainable brand in Africa Oudy Keita: The lack of diversity in [terms of] fabric We have no access to certain kinds of fabric so in order to find it we have to do a lot of research and collaborate with artisans to create a certain kind of jeans Lee Nxumalo: What do you think the world can learn from Africa about sustainability in Africa Oudy Keita: I think people can learn about simplicity This story is produced in the context of an editorial residency supported by Pro Helvetia Johannesburg I’ll be the first to admit that I don’t give a damn about sports I didn’t watch the match this past weekend and in fact even going as far as skipping the Vogue Nights event I had been so looking forward to once I heard they’d be..
