Jason Lytle, frontman of the now-defunct Grandaddy, will be playing a series of intimate, acoustic shows this summer - the "Look Who Drifted into Town Tour - An Evening with Jason Lytle." He'll be performing fan favorite Grandaddy songs as well as his own songs; accompanying him will be Rusty Miller of Jackpot.
Frontman Ricky Wilson of Kaiser Chiefs was injured a few days ago after being hit in a hit and run crossing a pedestrian crossing in England. He escaped with minor injuries (broken toe and scrapes) and doesn't expect the injuries to affect the band's upcoming tour dates.
Steve Mason, frontman for the now-defunct Beta Band, has apparently disappeared, leaving only a message on his website. His latest album, under the name King Biscuit Time, was supposed to be released overseas on May 15th; tour dates have been cancelled and his record company and management have not heard from him yet.
Jordan Geiger, frontman for Minus Story, has been working on material for his upcoming solo release. He is letting fans download rough mixes of his new songs here or on his MySpace.
Don't forget that Minus Story will be touring with John Vanderslice early next month.
