HELMET new guitarist announced!

HELMET have a new guitarist and it seems that his name has just been announced! :O


Influential alternative rock pioneers HELMET have announced the addition of guitarist Dan Beeman to the group's ranks. Beeman replaces the band's most recent axeman, Jimmy Thompson, who reportedly decided to move back to his native Australia at the end of 2007.

In a recent interview with Ultimate-Guitar.com, HELMET mainman Page Hamilton stated about Dan, "He is from Minneapolis and his . . . brother Pete is the drummer in BURNING BRIDES who toured with us [before].

"Dan knew all of us in HELMET and loved the music of HELMET and had just moved to Los Angeles a couple of months before we auditioned him. So it just worked out great for him and for us too. So we're really fortunate."

Nadine is dating Josh Hartnett, it seems...

Nadine is dating the famous actor Josh Hartnett and I wished she would date me instead! But who doesn't love the girl? =D


Girls Aloud singer Nadine Coyle is reportedly dating actor Josh Hartnett.

The pair have sparked romance rumours after being seen together on a number occasions in Los Angeles last week, including drinks at temporary Oscar venue Blanco 101.

A source told Britain's Daily Star newspaper: "The whole of Hollywood was talking about Josh and this pretty Irish girl. "Not everyone knows Girls Aloud here so people were trying to work out who this stunning girl was.

"They were spotted at Blanco 101 looking very much like a couple and chatting over drinks until the early hours." Nadine - whose on/off relationship with 'Desperate Housewives' hunk Jesse Metcalfe' ended in January - was supposed to be flying back to the UK for the BRIT Awards earlier this month, but was forced to remain in the US when she lost her passport.

Sources say the 22-year-old singer quickly got over her disappointment thanks to her new friend Josh. Meanwhile, the 29-year-old actor - who previously dated Scarlett Johansson and has been romantically linked to Rihanna, Kirsten Dunst and Rumer Willis
- was left red-faced when he was forced to fly in economy class back to New York following the Oscars.

A source said: "The flight was so overbooked there was no way he was going to get upgraded, but that didn't stop him trying. There were so many stars on the flight, when he went up to the counter to ask about a waiting list they told him, 'You're number 55.' "

Mick Hucknall is going to tour again!

It looks like Mick is going to travel the world again! These are incredible news for the fans! =D


For the very first time Mick Hucknall is stepping out from Simply Red, and has announced a new European Summer tour to support his eagerly anticipated debut solo studio LP 'Tribute To Bobby’, released May 19th.

The Bobby in question is the enormously influential African- American singer Bobby 'Blue’ Bland, sometimes referred to as the 'Lion of the Blues’.

'Tribute to Bobby’ is a twelve track master class in soul, blues and R&B and a tribute to one of Hucknall’s most important inspirations and musical idols. Along with such artists as Sam Cooke, Ray Charles and Junior Parker, Bland developed a sound that mixed gospel with blues and R&B.

He sang classics such as big-band blues number 'Farther Up The Road’ (US R&B top 10 hit in 1957) and perfected his craft in the 1960’s with a series of releases including 'Cry Cry Cry’ and 'I Pity The Fool’.

Bobby 'Blue’ Bland perhaps achieved his greatest recognition much later in his career; in 1992 he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and in 1997 he received the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award.

Mick Hucknall’s passion and respect for Bobby Bland is unquestioned
'I’d been listening to Bobby’s songs for so long that is was almost second nature to try and do these tunes', he says.
