Probot members Dave Grohl & Lemmy

As previously discussed, this weekend is the Hangout Music Fest in Gulf Shores, Alabama (May 20-22, 2011). As we wrote, "Hang Out Music Fest is heavy on the jam bands, but will also feature appearances from Paul Simon, The Black Keys, The Flaming Lips, My Morning Jacket, Foo Fighters, Motorhead, Cee Lo, Girl Talk, Minus The Bear, El Mariachi Bronx and many more over its three days." If you can't be there, iClips will be streaming performances online all weekend.

Speaking of Paul Simon, his tour just got bigger with the addition of another NYC show.

Speaking of My Morning Jacket and streaming, they'll be streaming a live show on May 31st directed by Todd Haynes.

Speaking of Foo Fighters, Motorhead and El Mariachi Bronx, BBG writes, "there's something wrong with the world when Motorhead is hitting the road supporting Foo Fighters, but nevertheless they're doing that right now with Biffy Clyro. Those dates include a showing at the Hangout Festival and conclude when Foo Fighters hit Sasquatch on May 27th."

Foo Fighters are also planning a trip to the Northeast, and have announed more dates that include one in the NYC-area at Izod Center in East Rutherford, NJ on 9/26. Tickets go on sale 5/20 at 10AM and support at the NJ date, as with all dates on that leg, will come from Rise Against (who just played T5 twice two weeks ago with Bad Religion) and Mariachi el Bronx (who recently played Highline Ballroom, are also playing Hangout, and are playing a boat as the Bronx).

All FF tour dates and some video is below.

The Bronx at Fun Fun Fun Fest (more by BBG)

Mariachi El Bronx recently played dates with Devotchka (including two nights at Highline Ballroom), and now the band's punk older brother The Bronx have scheduled a show in NYC aboard The Queen of Hearts on 6/22 (a Rocks Off Concert Cruise). Tickets are on sale.

Both The Bronx and El Mariachi Bronx have some other dates in their near future too. The former is playing a FREE (with RSVP) Sailor Jerry-sponsored show at The Parish in Austin, TX on 5/4, the same month they appear at Sasquatch. The latter is on board for Hangout Music Fest in Gulf Shores, Alabama (May 20-22, 2011). Hang Out Music Fest is heavy on the jam bands, but will also feature appearances from Paul Simon, The Black Keys, The Flaming Lips, My Morning Jacket, Foo Fighters, Motorhead, Cee Lo, Girl Talk, Minus The Bear, and many more over its three days.

Speaking of three day festivals that Foo Fighters, Cee Lo and My Morning Jacket are playing, Lollapalooza just annnounced its full 2011 lineup (in case you missed it).
