The Pretty Reckless front woman and Gossip Girl actress Taylor Momsen let her fans know what she really thought of the mobile phone and camera equipped masses flocking to her raunchy gigs.

During a gig in LA she let her potty mouth go and told the crowd to stop using their cell phones and cameras during her shows.

After the new film ‘Upside Down: The Creation Records Story‘ finally received it’s debut to rave reviews at the London Film Festival recently, a new website, upsidedownthemovie.com, has launched which promises to provide fans with all the latest news from the film, with some ‘special up front announcements’ said to be due very soon.

If the fastest selling album of the year, a sold out arena tour, and five recently announced massive outdoor UK gigs isn’t quite enough Kings Of Leon for you, the band have now announced a further date to their 2011 summer visit, and will play a historic date at Ireland’s Slane Castle next May.

Sometimes the best songs are the simple ones. They don’t always require a Stairway To Heaven approach. Just stumble across an infectious riff, write a good melody around it and wait for the royalty cheques to hit the doormat. Forever? Impossible? Of course, in reality it is not as easy as it sounds otherwise we’d all be swimming in guitar shaped pools rather than the pissy ones at our local leisure centre. The Charlatans somehow make this art-form sound effortless, a quality that some of the greatest bands in history have possessed and subsequently influenced followers to produce music of their own and continue this beautiful cycle.

Swedish indie band Peter, Bjorn and John have revealed their new album has developed a ‘pop rock’ theme, despite the trio originally striving for a harsher, punk sound during recording sessions.

A film-maker has uploaded a rare 40 minute clip taken from David Bowie and Nine Inch Nail‘s ‘Outside‘ co-headlining tour which took place throughout North America and Europe back in 1995.

Members of Primal Scream and the Sex Pistols have added their voices to the growing protests over the potential closure of legendary London venue The 100 Club, which is suffering due to a large hike in rent.

Kings Of Leon will follow up their forthcoming sold out UK arena tour with a series of huge outdoor gigs scheduled for next summer.

Manic Street Preachers have been forced to pull two shows at London’s Brixton Academy scheduled for tonight (28/10) and tomorrow due to illness.
