What makes The Egg roll?
We caught Ned Scott, keyboardist and one of The Egg’s founding twin brothers, during a quiet evening a couple of weeks ago at home in his Notting Hill flat, just as he was about to step away to prepare (honestly) a cup of tea...
Flowers in bloom
After six years of almost non-stop concert tours, with more than 15 million CDs sold, Las Vegas band The Killers decided they needed a break. Their hiatus, except for an upcoming Christmas single, has provided the opportunity for their charismatic lead singer, ...
About Face
All right, so what if Ben Folds doesn’t get an invite; Face is closing in on another vocal-madness holiday gig at the Boulder Theater; part holy night, part holy crap, how do they do that...
Postcards from fault line
Robert Plant did it with an achin’ in his heart. The Donner Party did it at the wrong time of year and an achin’ in their stomachs. But guitarist Blake Rooker says that going to California was a bash for West Water Outlaws...
