Earvolution will roll into Nashville on July 14th for what looks like will be the beginning of a "Nashville Nights" series. The first show will be at the French Quarter Cafe and will feature six acts: The Go Show (who are also playing Summerfest this week in Milwaukee), The Incredible Heat Machine, Brett Rosenberg, Mountain Man, Micah Tawlks and Jessica Maros. More details on these artists next week.

Kaki King is one of the feature performers at this year's URB ALT Festival. The show, July 7th at Harlem's Shrine World Music Venue, is a bit of a Frank Sinatra tribute, as each act will play a Sinatra cover. Kaki will be backed by the MuthaWit Orchestra. Faith, OMG, Devi and the Monika H. Band are also on the bill. More details here.

Silverchair basically owned Austrailia (and other parts of the world) in the late 90s and it has been five years since their last release. But, this guys still aren't that old since they were only 15 when their debut was released in 1995. Their new disc Young Modern hits stores July 24th and will kick off a tour with We Are the Fury, who you'll recall played the Earvolution day party at Emos this year during SXSW.

The Deadly Syndrome won't release their new record on Dim Mak until September 11th, but are set to hit the road this summer. They'll join Hot Hot Heat, Oh No! Oh My! & Let's Go Sailing for a run that kicks off in a couple weeks. Details here and mp3 below.

"Reports" from WENN and other UK "sources" say Pete Doherty is tired of being simply known as the boyfriend of Kate Moss. He apparently would be rather known for his music. Well, there was a time when Pete was known for his music. But, Pete decided to put other things first before his career and, frankly, his fans. He should be happy to be known at all at this point given his past and hey, "Kate Moss' boyfriend" is a lot better moniker than one referencing his past "demons."
