Posted by Scott Heisel on 03-May-07 @ 04:18 PM

Long-running post-hardcore band Planes Mistaken For Stars were the latest victims of gear theft yesterday in San Francisco on their current tour with Against Me!, Mastodon and Cursive (dates). Neil, the band's bassist, had his instrument stolen before showtime. The band writes:
"the bass was stolen outside of the Warfield @ 982 Market Street in San Francisco between 4:15pm and 4:45pm on Wednesday, May 2nd 2007 there was security "watching" our gear but somebody pulled a fast one. the bass was seen right up until 4:15 by the guys in Cursive and has not been since.

it was a 1979 Washburn "Hawk" bass long scale the knobs were all different colors: one black, two gold, and one metal it was wood grain with a pearl trim and there was a crack between the knobs that also made it his bass. the bass was in a hard, black sbk case with several red and white spray paint stencils all over it. things like: "Git Some", "Fragile", "Planes" w/ thunder in the night forever and a planes skull, "Please Be Gentle", and there was several other random one of a kind art prints on the case as well.

if you have any information please email no_rest@hotmail.com or call 773-793-5244 if you need a police officer right away please contact the San Francisco Police Department in regards to case number 070449444 officer d. sands badge #170 was there and filed the report."
The band promise a reward if found.

DEFTONES, 30 SECONDS TO MARS ADDED TO PUMPKINS TRIBUTE

Posted by Scott Heisel on 02-May-07 @ 07:45 PM

Following up on the story we exclusively broke yesterday, more bands have been confirmed for the impending Smashing Pumpkins tribute. The Academy Is..., Deftones, Hawthorne Heights, 30 Seconds To Mars and more will all take a crack at covering Billy Corgan & Co.; however, we incorrectly reported that My Chemical Romance would be involved with the project. According to their management, they will not.

Each band will post their Pumpkins cover on their respective MySpace page May 14; the songs will then be compiled onto a CD and packaged with the July issue of Spin magazine. There is no word on a proper commercial release for the disc, nor is there an official title for the project. The currently confirmed participants are below.

· Panic! at the Disco: "Tonight, Tonight"
· (+44): "I Am One"
· The Academy Is ... : "Mayonaise"
· Deftones: "Siva"
· 30 Seconds to Mars: (track TBD)
· The Bravery: "Rocket"
· Young Love: "1979"
· The New Amsterdams: "Thirty-Three"
· Test Your Reflex: "Ava Adore"
· Ben Kweller: "Today"
· Hawthorne Heights: "Bullet With Butterfly Wings"
· Gliss: "Rhinoceros"
