You already know we love comedian/musician Reggie Watts (so much that he's on this year's Afro-punk Festival line-up!). Reggie's got a new show called 'Comedy Bang! Bang!' premiering tonight at 10 p.m. EDT on IFC. IFC says: "In each episode, Scott Aukerman engages his guests with unfiltered and improvisational lines of questioning, punctuated by banter and beats provided by bandleader, one-man musical mastermind Reggie Watts, to reinvent the traditional celebrity…

All the fuss seems to be about Queen Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee... Whateva, the best part was Grace Jones performing her timeless banger 'Slave To The Rhythm'. She showed up eccentric as ever, hula-hooped throughout the song, and best of all, didn't seem to know why she was there: she wished the Queen a "happy birthday" at the end (watch video below). The Queen's birthday is April 21, isn't it? Love ya Grace...

In other news, The Guardian reports that "long-term…

Alexis Brown and her…

AP contributor Olivia Haynes caught up with the metal band when they rocked Towson, MD on March 10. Below you'll find her review of the show, a few phone pics, and an interview with the artists. Here we go!…

What the HELL does the Super Bowl have to do with Afro-punk you ask? Get over yourself and quit whining already! :-P For starters, Cee Lo Green (who was on last year's Afro-punk Festival line-up) got to share his badassness on stage, font and center. That's not all: featured performer Madonna also invited M.I.A. (a fave with AP readers) - who ended up giving the middle-finger to the millions of viewers, but we wouldn't expect less from her (see video below).

Overall, a very…
