... They want their music back. First we have the surviving members of Alice in Chains reuniting for a tsunami benfit:
Along with Damageplan singer Pat Lachman, they will take the stage of Seattle's Premier club on February 18th. The relief concert will also feature fellow Seattleites Krist Novoselic of Nirvana, Ann Wilson of Heart, Sir Mix-A-Lot, Christ DeGarmo of Queensryche and members of world music group Children of the Revolution.
(Is it just me, or is Seattle getting a little sad?)
Then there's this: Did you realize Us3 released more than one record and are still around? Hip trip, flip fantasia, indeed!
Eleven years after scoring a Top Ten hit with "Cantaloop (Flip Fantasia)" by sampling Herbie Hancock, Us3 are sampling themselves. The London collective -- set to release its fourth album, Questions, in the U.S. on April 26th -- now has a nine-piece live band creating jazz grooves to mix with its hip-hop beats.
Biddy-biddy-bop!
