'Black Traffic'. That's the title of classic UK rock band Skunk Anansie's upcoming album, to be released on September 17 (the first to be released through their own label, in partnership with 100% Records). Lead singer Skin says it better: "We've wanted to be in charge of our own destiny for many years. The doom and gloom merchants may whine about the music industry, but we've seen it as a positive chance to re-invent how we work and take more control over our art form. (...)…
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…

WTF is going on? :-P Kele Okereke told NME.com that his bandmates from Bloc Party went into the recording studio without inviting him or letting him know about it. "I hope I haven't been fired. I don't really know what's going on, because we haven't really spoken recently and I'm a bit too scared to ask", he reportedly said. Whether he's fired or not, it must be strange to be in a band that doesn't let you clearly know if you're still a member, dontcha… Continue

This could very well be small-town England's best up-and-coming group, so we'll forgive them for being from a place with a nearly unpronounceable name (Cheltenham, Gloucestershire). Rock band The Divine Secret has already released at least 3 videos, including 'Hide & Seek' (shot in one take), 'Deacus' and 'Wham Bam'. We have all three right here for you, but that's not all. Their debut EP 'Scholars & Gentlemen'…

British rock band Bloc Party have ended their hiatus and guitarist Russell Lissack told magazine NME that he and front man Kele Okereke "started working on Bloc Party stuff together and separately". We'll have to wait until later this year to hear what they have in store for us though. Okereke released a electronic music solo album in 2010. Rock on!…Added by AFROPUNK on April 6, 2011 at 7:30pm — 3 Comments
Hmmm we have no idea why they call themselves the first all-female all-Black band in the world. Those newbies got some nerve! :-P But let's not hold it against them oh-kayy?
