Radiohead / Beta Band
June 20, 2001
Red Rocks Amphitheater, Denver, CO

A lot of people were asking me, "So why are you going to Denver for your vacation?" And I would feel like a music-dork for saying, "A Radiohead show at Red Rocks". Lucky for me that my best-friend happens to live in Denver which gives me the perfect excuse.

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club
4100 Club, Los Angeles

This was a free show on Sunday night and I was torn between going to this or Mogwai at the El Rey. Mogwai's gonna play San Diego in a few days so I'm covered there, I've never seen BRMC and I love the album. I was kinda worried cause I've never been to the 4100 club or "Detour" as it was previously called. Finding it was a breeze and I was expecting a line but there were just a few people hanging out outside, so I just cruised on in.

Hey all! Time for us to give even more cool stuff away! This time it's a GREAT promo prize package chock full of OCEAN COLOUR SCENE merchandise. We're not messing about, either: the winner will receive all three of the band's domestically released discs (including the brand new "Mechanical Wonder,") an OCS t-shirt (VERY nice!), and some OCS stickers. If that's not all, we'll throw in a Paul Frank designer alarm clock and a Paul Frank bracelet.

Charlatans will be doing a small US tour to preview their new album, Wonderland. The album is scheduled to be released September 10 on MCA. Support duties will be handled by the great, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. Click on "Read More" for the onsale dates. July 24, Los Angeles, on sale June 16
