Shirley Manson, Butch Vig and Co. have just announced that Garbage will be adding a second show at the El Rey Theatre on April 9th! The band was already set to play the El Rey on April 10th, but tickets went quick and are now sold out. If you weren’t able to score tickets to the [...]

In 1995, Madison, Wisconson band Garbage catapulted Shirley Manson into the universes of teenage girls across America. Delivering the gospel of bad attitude and copious eyeshadow made palatable by a fresh and irresistible mix of industrial, electronic, and pop music, Manson led a generation of girls in a catchy, apocalyptic chorus of “I came to [...]

This is one Garbage you won't want to toss...unless it's on your iPod or your stereo! Garbage have announced that their fifth studio album, Not Your Kind of People, will be released in the United States on May 15, 2012, on the band's label STUNVOLUME. Redheaded, super sexy frontman Shirley Manson

Shirley Manson is, hands down, one of the most insightful and outspoken women in music today. She’s a huge inspiration–not only for her stellar musical output, but for the fact that she always has something important to say. In advance of Not Your Kind Of People, the highly anticipated return of Garbage due out later [...]

Los Angeles Times : The band announced recently that, after parting ways with Geffen, it’s launching its own label, Stunvolume, and will release Garbage’s fifth album, “Not Your Kind Of People”, on the label this spring (they’re in the studio recording now). Manson, the searing voice behind such hits as “Stupid Girl” and “I Only Like It When It Rains,” talked with Pop & Hiss about love, liberation and the vicious game that is the music industry. Releasing an album on your own label: scary or liberating? Free at last! Free at last!! Collectively and individually for that matter ...

It seems like a long seven years, but Garbage are finally back with a new album.  Will it be a sultry Shirley Manson be blowing you away like or the band's self-titled debut, or will it be a more polished, tamer version like on Version 2.0 . Only time will tell when we finally get to hear Not Your Kind Of People  on May 15th. Watch the album teaser video here: A few European and festival dates have been booked, but nothing nearby yet.

In what will be the first we’ve heard from the band in 7 years - Garbage will be releasing a new album later this year, all on their own. The Wisconsin group had been on hiatus since releasing their greatest hits album Absolute Garbage in 2007. Last year lead singer Shirley Manson announced that she'd been in the studio with the rest of the band. Garbarge today announced they’d be launching their own record label STUNVOLUME to release the upcoming studio effort. Along with the announcement, the band said on their facebook page "We have had our fill ...

The latest issue of V magazine calls Shirley Manson “a classic”, and after reading the Garbage frontwoman’s interview you’ll agree that they couldn’t be more spot on. The Scottish siren, who took a break from teasing us from the studio and prepping for her band’s 2012 tour to pose for the mag, opens up about ... More »

2 0 1 2 ci siamo. Nuovo anno, nuova immagine d’apertura, nuovo spirito. Nel senso che nel 2012 sarò molto più spirituale. Mmm, ok. Mettiamo questo proposito per il momento da parte... L'altro proposito primario di questo blog per l'anno nuovo sarà andare avanti per 12 mesi senza nominare quei portasfiga dei Maya, questa volta esclusa. Sarà possibile? Come l’ anno scorso , anche questo Capodanno il modo migliore per aprire i giochi mi sembrava dare un’occhiata a quello che ci aspetta, o che ci dovrebbe/potrebbe aspettare, nei prossimi mesi. Mi sembrava il modo migliore e ...

As mentioned yesterday, I'm re-posting some old stuff in response to a request from a reader.  Here's something dating back to April 2009:- RADIO FRIENDLY UNIT (NON) SHIFTER All that talk the other day of Paul Haig (and again I'd like to thank everyone who lent their support) got me thinking of other great songs to come out of Edinburgh. And right away, this piece of magic from 1986 sprung to mind:- mp3 : Goodbye Mr Mackenzie - The Rattler Goodbye Mr Mackenzie actually formed in Bathgate, which is a small town some 15 miles or so west of ...

Dude, admit it: you miss the 90s. Vintage sneakers, Elastica on the radio, plaid everything. I wore fishnets and too much eyeshadow in a quest (not yet fully abandoned) to be Shirley Manson. It was the best of rock and roll times. So when I hear a record that hearkens back to those days, I [...]

Previous posts featuring Curve have proven popular in the past.  Hope today's continues that trend. For newer readers, Curve comprised of Toni Halliday and multi-instrumentalist Dean Garcia , and formed in Manchester in 1991. At a time when the Madchester sound ( Happy Mondays/Stone Roses/James etc) was very much in full flow, Curve were something a bit different. The first few releases were EPs. The music press loved them, and they were championed by John Peel . And yet they didn't ever quite turn the critical praise into popular acclaim and really meaningful sales, albeit the debut LP in ...

By Tina Benitez Nearly 20 years since their self-titled debut, Garbage are aware that nothing will ever be like their first—and why should it? “We’ll never sound like the first record again,” says singer Shirley Manson. The Scottish-bred “Supervixen” admits that she felt like a complete innocent when she first joined Garbage, but that was a long time ago. If Manson felt naïve back then, it didn’t show as the raccoon-eyed, sex kitten crooned out dark, pop echoes of “Only…
