Cat Power Tours

Chan Marshall will make a Cat Power return late this Summer with a string of tour dates opening for the Pretenders.

The Pretenders are touring in support of "Break Up The Concrete," which was released late last year. Even Juliette Lewis is getting in on the action, playing on the tour in support of her upcoming release "Terra Incognita."

There has been no new Cat Power music since 2008's collection of covers titled "Jukebox."

Dando Suit

The Lemonheads’ Evan Dando has sued GM because the company used a song similar to the band’s “It’s A Shame About Ray” in a 2008 commercial, Billboard.biz reports. Compare and contrast the two at YouTube.



I did, good luck in court Mr. Dando, I hope that you have a good lawyer.
