Live LIVE!!!

Tour dates supporting Live’s upcoming May 9th release, Songs From Black Mountain, have been announced! Kicking off on April 23rd in their home state of Pennsylvania, Live will rock 18 spots across the country including New York City’s Nokia Theatre, Chicago’s Vic Theatre and the famous Fillmore in San Francisco - full tour dates below.

Shit, remember Live? All I can think of right now is smoking joints as a senior in high school at their Mann Music Center show in Philly during the Throwing Copper days. Ahhh...the memories (or the lack thereof...much of my gray matter has been replaced by bong resin. Sweet).

Check out their first single from the new album:

Hanson With a Better Record Collection

OK all you teens and tweens, hold your ears...

"Music on Red Bull." Without hesitating, that's how 17-year-old Kevin Jonas describes the hyper-adrenalized sounds he's created with his two brothers, 13-year-old Nicholas and 16-year-old Joseph, on the Jonas Brothers' debut album, It's About Time. And it's no wonder since the boys' influences include an eclectic mix of artists ranging from the Ramones to the Jackson 5 to the Modern Lovers - all purveyors of tight, catchy anthems. One thing is for sure, the Jonas Brothers are all ready to keep the momentum going strong. "We go crazy on stage!" says Kevin. "It's so much fun!"
Inspiration for the group's songs comes directly from the boys' personal experiences - from the highs and lows of dating to being on the road to having been given the opportunity to follow their dreams at such a young age. "A lot of it is about typical teenage love stuff like 'Oh, what am I going to do if I can't see her today?' It's not stuff that we don't know about," says Nicholas.

Joseph sees them all collaborating for years to come. "We're brothers so it's not like if we got upset at each other that we can be like, 'Well I quit.' They're still my brothers. We love to do this and we know we're going to keep doing for a very long time."
