Jack White has been playing a series of last minute, intimate shows (one happens in Nashville tonight) surrounding the release of his new album No Name, and for those waiting for him to announce a traditional tour, they may have a while to wait. He addressed his plan for upcoming shows in a post on Instagram, saying, “we won’t really be announcing dates in advance so much, we will mostly be playing at smalll clubs, back yard fetes, and a few festivals here and there to help pay for expenses. Shows will be announced as close to the show date as possible, some shows we won’t even decide to do until that morning.” Read his message in full below.

NILÜFER YANYA – “MUTATIONS”. Says Nilüfer Yana of her new single: “‘Mutations’ deals with change brought about by circumstance. This is not the phoenix rising from the ashes but the subtle change that happens constantly as millions of tiny decisions and actions shape your being. It’s kind of like survival, for me. Less of a transformation and more something that’s born out of your environment and surroundings, that you need to do to survive. Mutation is just something you have to go through- you have to evolve.” My Method Actor hits September 13.

Thursday have been playing their classic albums Full Collapse and War All The Time in full a lot on tour lately for their 20th-ish anniversaries, and now they’re reaching back to the album that started it all, their 1999 debut album Waiting, for its 25th anniversary. They aren’t doing a full tour behind it, and they also aren’t doing their usual holiday shows at Starland Ballroom this year, so in lieu of both of those things, they’re throwing an “old school NJHC party” by playing the album in full at the intimate NJ venue Crossroads on December 7, with an all-ages afternoon matinee and a night show. They’re doing the album “and so much more,” and the band says, “These are the only two shows where we plan to play Waiting and there are no plans to add additional dates.”

Primus played Tag's Summer Stage in Big Flats, NY on August 10 and they had a very tall, very clownish guest out for a cover song. Primus was joined by Puddles Pity Party for a cover of Dio's "Holy Diver" and holy shit was it awesome! I mean seriously, if these two artists joined forces for a classic heavy metal cover band, I'd pay to go see it.

At 91 years old, Willie Nelson keeps heading out on the road again (his Outlaw Music Festival tour resumes in September) and also he keeps releasing new albums. He’s just announced his 153rd album overall (and his 76th solo studio album), Last Leaf on The Tree, due out on November 1 via Legacy Recordings. His son Micah Nelson produced it, his first time producing his father’s music, and he says he took a “sculptor’s approach” to it. “It’s an approach that I really love and have used a lot over the years — just throwing the clay down and stepping back, then maybe adding a little more, and then maybe shaving down here, and kind of building the tracks that way,” Micah, who played more than two dozen instruments on the album, said.
