Corin Tucker

The campaign to help Sharon with medical bills was launched by Sleater-Kinney’s Corin Tucker, Bratmobile’s Molly Neuman, and Julia Holter, and Corin, Julia Holter, and Sharon are promising to release a collaborative song if the goal is reached.

Janet Weiss’ replacement is Angie Boylan of Freezing Cold, Aye Nako, Little Lungs, Cheeky, and more.

Sleater-Kinney’s second reunion album and ninth overall is their darkest and most varied yet.

”Most people would ask me, ‘hey are you ok?’ That’s the human response.”

Originally releasesd as a Record Store Day exclusive, ’Stroke Manor’ features contributions from Peter Buck, Jeff Tweedy, Corin Tucker and more.

The indie rock supergroup featuring Corin Tucker (Sleater-Kinney), Peter Buck (R.E.M.), Buck’s Minus 5 bandmate (and Young Fresh Fellows founder) Scott McCaughey, and Fastbacks member/Minus 5 contributor Kurt Bloch, have announced their second full-length album, Emerald Valley and a May tour.

Lots of R.E.M. songs were played, Colin Meloy, James Mercer and Scott himself (who’s on the road to recovery after a stroke in November).

They ended the night with a cover of David Bowie’s “Rebel Rebel.”

Corin Tucker (Sleater-Kinney) and Peter Buck‘s (R.E.M.) new band Filthy Friends have announced their debut album. It’s called Invitation and it comes out on August 25 via Kill Rock Stars. The announcement is accompanied by the release of new single “The Arrival”…

“‘Your Voice on the Radio’ is the only track on the record I wrote with a specific thematic goal in mind, which was to pay tribute to those classic, slightly cheesy boy/girl duets of yesteryear,” Dave tells us.
