Arctic Monkeys i-Tunes Festival, Roundhouse, London - Music News
Sheffield’s brightest sons had the North West London crowd mesmerised and in the palm of their jewellers hands. From the opening Library Pictures through to 505 neither band nor worshipper had any desire to loosen the grip. On a sticky night in the capital, the packed house showed their devotion with word-perfect singing, excitable mosh mayhem and much sweat. Turner, O’Malley, Cook and Helders gave them the ammunition.
The recently released fourth album, Suck It And See, boasted no less than seven tracks from the twenty strong set, and each received with immediate affection like new best friends. The blistering She’s Thunderstorms and instant joy of the Hellcat Spangled Shalalala are among those destined to be our lifelong mates. And they weren’t overawed alongside heavyweight classics I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor or When the Sun Goes Down. During the latter, Turner gave the crowd their acapella moment, and they sung the whole first verse like a gift to their idols.
While the languid cool Mr Turner led from the front with his warm Sheffield tones, Matt Helders, an emperor on his throne, pounded tribal machine gun beats, with ultra busy sticks in a blur of craft, industry and dynamic precision. Make no mistake, this kid is pure rhythm dynamite.
Their second album, 2007’s Favourite Worst Nightmares, equally had the lion’s share of the set, with the thunderous assault of Brianstorm and cheeky favourite Fluorescent Adolescent almost raising the circular roof. The marvellous Miles Kane, support for the night and Alex Turner’s co-Shadow Puppet, joined the band for the finale - the heart-wrenching jubilation of 505. A fitting end as the packed Roundhouse filtered into the warm London air, sad it was over but a joy in their step.

Steve Martin & Steep Canyon Rangers Hammersmith Appollo - Music News
The secret is out – Steve Martin can play banjo and play it damn well!
Of course we should have suspected it when he won a grammy for his album ‘The Crow’ and the latest album, ‘Rare Bird Alert’ (a 4* review in Music-news.com), was no duffer but it is different when you play live in front of 3500 people and have to put up – naked doesn’t cut it!
The show at Hammersmith was delightful. The band was excellent, Steve’s jokes were suitably appalling (and we all laughed anyway) and his playing was excellent – this was no duffer hiding behind the talent: when he played a duet with fiddler Nicky Sanders he was the equal of a very fine fiddler.
They played most of ‘Rare Bird Alert’ and the individual talents on show demonstrated just how good a band the Steep Canyon Rangers are. They weighed in with some delicious barber shop harmonies as well as excellent playing and the audience response was to whoop, holler and whistle without any inhibitions – one of those rare nights where the crfowd was as much a part of the show as the band.
I would have preferred the mix to have been a little less ‘toppy’ – we hardly heard Charles R Humprey III’s bass – because it strangulated the vocals a little but the banjos and Mike Guggino’s mandolin were clear as a bell.
Best numbers of the night were probably ‘Jubilation Day and a wonderful ‘Me And Paul Revere’ although the duet was stunning and ‘Atheists Don’t Have No Songs’ showed the vocal talents of the band of brilliantly and produced the biggest laughs of the night. 'The Great Remember' was simply delicious..
A terrific night of great music and good humour and one to be remembered.

However, this isn't the first time the pair have splashed out on their cats, as Russell recently admitted he buys presents for the moggys at Christmas.

Meanwhile, Katy expressed an 'obsession' with felines.
She recently explained: ' am obsessed with cats. I'm kind of trying to make that cat-lady personality cool. I want it to be chic! Cats are like, 'You have to earn my affection.' And I really associate myself with that.
'People have to earn my affection, but when I give it, it's going to be good. I'm very independent like a cat too, and I do things in my own time. My cats have a feminine way, it's sexy.'

Robbie Williams' wife thinks he is the most 'funny, charismatic, creative and original' person she knows - Music News
Robbie Williams' wife thinks he is the most "funny, charismatic, creative and original" person she knows.
The Take That singer's spouse Ayda Field believes the way fans see the star on stage is not always the same person she sees at home because her "best friend" has so many other sides to him.
Asked by a fan how much of the Robbie on stage is the 'real' Robbie Williams, he wrote on his blog: "I'll ask Ayda to answer your questions. She says, 'All of it and none of it at the same time.
"She says I'm the most funny, charismatic, creative, original human being she's ever met . And I love to do little skits around the house.
"She says I'm always telling stories and everyone gravitates towards me naturally so she thinks when I'm on stage that's a slither of who I am in real life amplified to this Robbie persona who lives and breathes confidence and charisma and magic.
"But in real life there is more to me than the Robbie character. There's the boy who likes to play football. The boy who likes to chill out and be quiet. The boy who likes to be naked and cosy in bed, not performing, just listening. And there's the man who cuddles his doggies, who cleans up the poo when they make a mess and who cares about how everybody else is doing.
"And that man is my soul mate, my best friend, my lover."
Robbie ' who recently revealed he has been "found by God" ' has also spoken of his beliefs in a "universal power", saying his new faith has improved his relationship with his wife.
He wrote: "I've returned to spirit for this tour. I'm choosing to believe in a universal power that we/I can plug into at any time.
"I've been asking for guidance and I've been receiving it. A massive gift. I've gotten to love you [the fans] more. I've gotten to love Ayda more. I've gotten to love me more because of it."

Following last week's sell out performance from Snoop, Kelis is the second in the line up for this year's brand new MTV parties.

The parties run every Friday through to closing on 2nd September with what's sure to be a legendary performance from Primal Scream.
A fit and toned Kelis, despite a sore throat, strutted her stuff with a huge smile and sang a selection of crowd favourites. The mood was light and friendly in the audience as Kelis slipped from Milkshake to a cover of Madonna's Holiday. Harvey from So Solid and Usher who also performed on the island last night joined their friend, Kelis at Amnesia where the trio partied until the early hours to a blinding set from Felix Da Housecat.

Frank Carter quits Gallows - Music News
The now legendary UK punk band Gallows today announce the departure of their frontman Frank Carter. Having redefined punk rock since the release of their debut album 'Orchestra Of Wolves' in 2006, Gallows brought punk rock kicking, screaming and snarling into the mainstream, climaxing with the harsh and bitterly angry 'Grey Britain' album in 2009 but are now set to embark on new paths.
Frank Carter offers the following statement.
't is with a heavy heart that I have to announce my departure from Gallows. It seems that Gallows have hit a crossroads in our writing process and unfortunately myself and the rest of the boys have different ideas regarding the sound of Gallows going forward. Gallows have decided they are going to continue on without me and I wish the boys the best of luck for the future. Gallows will be fulfilling all of our current touring plans until August 1st so please come down to a show and help me make each show a total celebration!'
'This does not mean I am giving up on music. I have a new band called PURE LOVE which I have been working on with my brother Jim Carroll (Suicide File, Clouds, Hope Conspiracy) for a few months now. A lot of late nights in the studio have meant that we will be recording our debut album in September and then will hit the road later this year. I hope to see you all there.'
' want to say thank you to my brothers Stephen, Jonathan and Richard, my parents and the rest of the boys in Gallows for their support not only over the past few months, but the past 6 years. I also want to thank all the fans that helped us build Gallows into something I could really be proud of. Without you it would have meant nothing. Thank you all. Forwards ever, backwards never. Pure Love.' Frank Carter
Frank's brother and guitarist in the band Stephan Carter also states that. 'As you all know, we've been in the studio for the past few months working on a follow up to Grey Britain. It pains me to say that as of August 1st Frank will no longer be a member of Gallows. Creatively, we could not agree on a direction for the new record and came to the conclusion that parting ways was for the best. Frank will be releasing music with his new project "Pure Love" later this year and we all wish him best. He is & will always be our brother, as well as an integral part of the start of our career.'
"These final shows with Frank are a celebration of what we created together,' continues guitarist Laurent Barnard. 'Frank, Steph, Lee, Stu and myself are all entering the most exciting period of our careers since breaking in 2007. While we wish Frank the best of luck on his new adventure the rest of us in Gallows literally cannot wait to play you the new songs and announce who will be singing with us in the future. We realise Frank is a hard figure to replace so be assured that the decision to continue as a band has been one we've been deliberating over long and hard. We're extremely confident that we won't be letting anyone down when we drop the next record, especially not ourselves or the people who believe in us. Death is birth. Your ears have been warned."
Gallows will continue to assault venues for their final shows with Frank, climaxing in a show at the ULU on the 23rd of July.

The singer-and-actor penned some tracks with British star Jessie J and the 'Do It Like a Dude' hitmaker was astonished by his work ethic.
She said: "When he's in the studio, he is in the studio. We would literally spend 14 hours in there and not leave.

Jessie originally got signed to Sony in the US as a songwriter, and accepted the deal unsure if she had a future as a performer in her own right following a series of knockbacks.
She said: "I went round the UK and tried to get signed, and at the time it was like the bombardment of women ' VV Brown, Gabriella Cilmi, Cheryl Cole, Adele, Duffy. Everyone was going, 'We're not going to buy into another girl now.'
"I got signed as a writer by Sony, so I flew to the US and went, 'Maybe I'm not an artist.' I knew at the back of my mind that I was, but sometimes you need someone to go, 'Come on!' "

Music News - Robbie Williams is 'going to be a dad'
The Take That star ' who is married to US actress Ayda Field ' is hopeful of starting a family in the near future and says impending parenthood is the reason he has taken control of his life and become more comfortable with appearing on stage and socialising with others.
Robbie ' who famously suffers from crippling stage fright ' said: "I'm going to be a dad. maybe next year or the year after and I don't want their dad to be emotionally inept, for my own well-being as well as theirs.
"At the start of the year, I got a feeling that 'things' can be different. It started as an ember and now because of the tour it's a furnace.
"In fact it started when we ' as a couple ' were kindly invited on holiday that was a once in a lifetime thing but it involved going with people we didn't know. My automatic reaction normally would have been, 'No, be safe, don't step out of your comfort zone' but then I thought of the kids we're yet to have and said, 'No f**k it, I want their dad to be able to do this sort of thing.' So I did. Things just snowballed from there."
As well as wanting to have children, Robbie ' who has numerous tattoos ' is also planning more body art.

Music News - Jessie J was 17 when she had her first 'girl experience'
The 'Price Tag' hitmaker is openly bisexual and says her family have always been accepting of her sexuality, even though she was regarded as "rebellious".
She said: "It is important for me to be open and honest about it. My mum and dad have known for years and were super cool, my sisters made jokes about it because they were married with kids and I was the rebellious one. I had a girlfriend and tattoos. I was like. hardcore.
"Because I haven't tried to hide it, people have gone, 'Oh she's so cool about it, so we're cool about it.'
"How old was I when I had my first girlfriend? Dunno. 17? It wasn't a girlfriend, more my first girl experience."
Jessie ' who refuses to say if she is in a relationship with anyone at present ' admitted she finds it "sad" that people find it odd that she doesn't drink alcohol or take drugs.
The 23-year-old star added to Britain's Glamour magazine: "Drugs and alcohol are not the epitome of an amazing life, they're actually glamorised way too much.
"People go to me, 'Oh my God, you're in the industry and you don't take drugs?' It's weird to me that it's seen as un-normal. It's quite sad."

Music Videos - Lady Gaga no longer knows the difference between her real self and on stage persona
The 'Born This Way' hitmaker ' whose real name is Stefani Germanotta - admits she throws herself so completely into her outlandish costumes and performances, her outfits have become as much a part of her as her vital organs.
She said: "The lines for myself have become so blurred now, I know not the difference between a moment of performance and a moment of honesty. If you were to ask me to remove my Philip Treacy hat at a party, in truth it is the emotional and physical equivalent of requesting I remove my liver.
"I know not the difference between the hair that grows from my head and the teal wigs that grow from my imagination. They are the same. They are both honest, and always have been. So maybe I know nothing of 'the art of escapism.' I was just Born This Way. I revere the dream to be real. I am always, and shall forever be, private in public."
The eccentric singer insists the way she presents herself is her "destiny" and she is always part of a show that celebrates her own "uniqueness".
She wrote in her column for V magazine: "Art is a lie. And every day I kill to make it true. It is my destiny to exist halfway between reality and fantasy at all times. They call me 'theatrical,' but I posit profusely that I am theatre, and that theatre is me. I am a show with no intermission.
"It is this thing that summons me from the depths of reality and reminds me that the power of transformation is endless. That I (we) possess something magical and transformative inside- a uniqueness and specialness waiting to be exiled from the depths of our identity. "

Music News - Will Young announces brand new album, single and tour
Multi-Platinum artist WILL YOUNG releases his brand new album 'Echoes' on August 22nd 2011 through XIX Management/RCA Label Group. The first single to be taken from 'Echoes' is 'Jealousy' which will be released the day before on Sunday 21st. He also announces a 23-date major UK and Irish tour this autumn including two nights at London's Shepherd's Bush Empire.
Coming on the 10th anniversary of Will's first audition for Pop Idol in 2001, 'Echoes' is the follow up to his Platinum selling 'Hits' collection and is his fifth studio album in a career spawning over 8 million sales so far.
'Echoes' has been produced by Richard X (MIA, Kelis, Goldfrapp) who Will chose after falling in love with Steve Mason's (Beta Band) 'Boys Outside' album that Richard produced. With 'Echoes' Will has sidestepped some of his traditional sounds to move more into the world of electronic music, making an album of sophistry and gentility that pulses with the undercurrents of the dance-floor. The sweeping strings and key changes of his hit ballads have made way for synthesised melody, towards something sparer and more controlled. 'I had to learn to undo my musical muscle memory,' he explains. 'To allow space into the music.'
Following his hugely successful 2008 and 2009 sell-out tours and acclaimed summer festival appearaches, Will is ready to astound audiences once more with a nationwide tour in October and November. Will will be performing live versions of his new material along with favourites from his past albums. Tickets go on general sale on 8th July.

Music News - Jarvis Cocker used the final News Of The World as toilet paper
Pulp's Jarvis Cocker wipes his arse with the final edition of the disgraced British tabloid News Of The World onstage.
The reunited Britpop legends just performed the T In The Park festival and Cocker made no bones about his feelings towards the Murdoch red-top that recently published its final edition.
According to Clash Music he pulled out a copy of the paper and reached around to mock-wipe his bum with it, saying "that's the only thing that piece of shit has been good for in 168 years".
Then the band played 'Do You Remember The First Time?', which he dedicated to the 'last time' the newspaper was published.
He also dedicated 'Common People', to the Scots who voted for the social-democrat Scottish National Party at their recent elections.
It's not the first time Cocker has protested using his bum, as he mooned the crowd from the stage of the BRIT Awards in 1996 while Michael Jackson was performing.
Pulp will be in Australia for Splendour In The Grass and sideshows in July and August.
