10/29/09 News briefs: The xx, No Age, Chuck Biscuits, The Hidden Cameras and Nirvana
October 29th, 2009
The xx have been forced to cancel some shows due to exhaustion. If we’re going by Pitchfork the band just need to take a break after a gruelling schedule at CMJ in New York last week. But if we’re going by The Quietus, The xx could soon be searching for a new guitarist, as Baria Quereshi has taken a leave of absence.
The new video for No Age’s “Losing Feeling” is shot from the perspective of two cute little mice. There’s a nice surprise twist to it and notice the cameo of their new pair of Emerica vegan hi-top sneakers.
UPDATE: Chuck Biscuits is alive and well.
Former Danzig drummer Chuck Biscuits passed away on October 24th after a long battle with throat cancer. Born Charles Montgomery, the Canadian first got his break drumming for D.O.A., before working with Black Flag, Circle Jerks, Fear and even Run-DMC. Biscuits was 44.
The Hidden Cameras’ Joel Gibb has unveiled an anti-seal hunting billboard in downtown Ottawa. He plans to also perform a protest in the nation’s capital in order to bring attention to the one million seals being slaughtered every three years.
And just because we are all dying to see it, here is the trailer to Nirvana Live At Reading, which comes out this Tuesday, November 3rd.
