Wax Idols

"I’m no soothsayer - I don’t know what the future holds - but for now, we say goodbye' Wax Idols' Hether Fortune (who will still play Brooklyn this week, solo, as well as Basilica Soundscape).

We lost one of the all-time great voices in music today and the world has been paying tribute to Aretha Franklin since learning the sad news...

They join such previously announced names as Grouper, Efrim Menuck (of Godspeed You! Black Emperor), The Haxan Cloak with Nick Zinner, Lightning Bolt, and more.

Wax Idols' new album, Happy Ending, is out in just a couple weeks (5/16) and they've just expanded their tour in support of it, including late summer East Coast / Midwest dates...

The 2018 edition of Basilica Soundscape happens September 14-16 and includes sets from Grouper, Lightning Bolt, Haxan Cloak in collaboration with Nick Zinner, Efrim Menuck of Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Wax Idols and more.

Thursday began their run of full-album shows which sees them doing two nights in each city, with Full Collapse in full on night one and War All The Time in full on night two. The San Francisco shows had surprise openers Jonah Matranga and Wax Idols, who both sang with Thursday during their sets.

Wax Idols' long-in-the-works new album, Happy Ending, is finally out May 16 via Hether Fortune's own Etruscan Gold label...

Few bands of the last 40 years have been as influential to indie rock, punk and alternative as The Fall, so it is not surprise to see the outpouring of tributes following the very sad death of main man Mark E. Smith...

Following her unexpected death at the age of 46, tributes to The Cranberries' singer have been coming in from fellow musicians, including Ted Leo, Amanda Palmer, Land of Talk, Michelle Branch, Nicole Atkins, Frank Turner, Holly Miranda, Wavves, Questlove, PAWS, Liz Phair, Duran Duran, and more.
