November 15, 2012 Time flies, huh? Hard to believe that it's been 20 years since Rage Against the Machine released their first album, but on November 27th, the band will drop Rage against the Machine XX - a commemorative 20th Anniversary edition of their debut.
November 14, 2012 Jackyl RAWKED the Riverside Warehouse last night, and 99X was there to collect evidence.
November 13, 2012 Leogun is a new trio from the U.K. you've been hearing a lot of on 99X lately. With influences ranging from Zeppelin to Jack White, it's no surprise that you you don't hear autotune, sampling, or the typical studio B.S. that a lot of today's new artists seem to overuse to the extreme.
November 12, 2012 Jesse James Dupree - singer-songwriter-guitarist-artist manager-TV star-entrepreneur-connoisseur of fine spirits. Quite possibly the most hyphenated man in history. And for good reason. From his million-selling band Jackyl, to his hit television show on Tru TV, 'Full Throttle Saloon', Jesse James Dupree is a man on mission - he's over-the-top passionate about everything he gets involved with.
November 12, 2012 Dallas Rockers Drowning Pool are in the studio working on their fifth album with their fourth singer (so much for the 'third time is a charm' thing, huh?). For the as-yet-untitled album (due in early 2013), the band brought The Suicide Hook singer Jasen Moreno on board, and if the first song resulting from combination is any indication, Drowning Pool is definitely back!
November 7, 2012 Is the grass - or cash - greener on the other side? Whenever I see that a band is releasing a greatest hits CD, I always assume that they've found a way to score more cash from a different record label, or they've decided to go at it on their own. The old "so...according to our contract, we owe you one more album..." And nine out of ten times, that album ends up being a live record, or a collection of previous hits. With maybe one new song included. The contractual obligation album.
November 7, 2012 Shinedown have been across the pond recently (wrapping up their European tour just days ago), and at an interview with British magazine NME prior to their show at Brixton Academy in London, frontman Brent Smith dropped a little inside information: Shinedown's next album? The follow-up to the hugely successful 'Amaryllis'? It's already finished.
November 7, 2012 The Bad Boys from Boston marked the release of their new album 'Music From Another Dimension' with a free concert on the street in front of 1325 Commonwealth Avenue in Boston - the address of the apartment the band lived in during the early days of Aerosmith.
November 2, 2012 One of my favorite bands, Rival Sons, just wrapped up a headlining tour of Europe, and to celebrate, they've released a photo-documentary from their show at the Sweden Rock Festival on June 7th.
November 2, 2012 Aerosmith's new album 'Music From Another Diminsion' drops on Tuesday, and last night (11/01), they dropped by THE LATE SHOW studios for a chat with David Letterman, and took the opportunity to play their new single "Lover Alot'.
October 31, 2012 In This Moment rocked the Riverside Warehouse last night, and 99X winners had a chance to meet the band before the show...
October 27, 2012 So you can't make it to The Voodoo Music Experience in New Orleans this weekend. That doesn't mean you can't see live performances from Metallica, Neil Young & Crazy Horse, Jack White, and more.
