Extra Song: "Around The Bend", Eddie Vedder Solo
We are happy to announce that Eddie Vedder has added a second London show to take place on Tuesday, July 31st at the HMV Hammersmith Apollo.
Long before Nirvana and Pearl Jam, an earlier Northwest rock scene was hailed for its raucous blend of R&B, blues, pop and garage rock. The roots of Northwest rock are the subject of a new DVD, " 'Louie Louie' and the History of Northwest Rock & Radio," from SoundWorks USA, a Redmond-based multimedia company that sells nostalgic Northwest rock 'n' roll recordings.
At the heart of that early scene, which emerged in the late 1950s and continued into the '70s, was "Louie Louie," a calypso-style, 1957 Richard Berry recording that became a huge hit in 1963 for Portland's Kingsmen.
Willie's interpretation of Coldplay's The Scientist, featured in an acclaimed animated short film produced by Chipotle to demonstrate the company's commitment to sustainably raised food, is featured on Heroes.
The album's focus track is Willie's sublime interpretation of Pearl Jam's Just Breathe, performed with Lukas. Heroes marks the first release in a historic new record deal between Willie Nelson and Legacy Recordings
Host Eddie Trunk and the show’s staff have announced the upcoming season’s guests. Big names this year include Metallica’s Lars Ulrich, Iron Maiden’s Adrian Smith, Alice Cooper, former Metallica bass slinger Jason Newsted, Flying Colors and Adrenaline Mob drummer Mike Portnoy, Pearl Jam guitarist Mike McCready and Disturbed’s David Draiman, to name a few.McCready also spoke briefly with the Orange County Weekly in California about Pearl Jam's progress on their new, some would say "experimental" album:
In a phone interview last Friday, guitarist Mike McCready told the Weekly that Pearl Jam has officially began work on its tenth studio album. "We started yesterday," McCready said. Contrary to other reports, McCready said the band began work on the album only Thursday last week. He confirmed that the Seattle quintet has started to flush out demos internally and will be working with longtime producer/collaborator Brendan O'Brien on the record.
"We're in the process of everyone bringing their demos and getting their songs out there," he added.
A little birdy told us to be sure your memberships are up to date by this Sunday afternoon.
Have a nice weekend.Is it more Ed shows? Is it a full Pearl Jam tour? If so, will it be paired with an album announcement? Probably not, but a guy can hope.

How far along are you with the new Pearl Jam record?
I don't know, it's hard to say. We've recorded some songs, and we're going to record and write some more. You never know, it might be that we're a song away or two, or it might be that we're going to record six or seven more songs. I think the main thing is that were not in a rush and there's no urgency to it. The most important thing is that we put something out that continues to expand our boundaries rather than trying to follow what we've done in the past. I think it's a good time to hopefully continue to experiment, and continue to shake it up. So that people can go "Wow, that's kind of weird for Pearl Jam," and then 10 years later they can go, "Oh, that’s my favorite period." Which is always kind of what happens. You try something and at first everybody doesn't necessarily understand it, and then you look back and you go, thank God we tried something new, because it really opened a door up for us to be able to do this and this and this beyond that.
