Crosby Stills & Nash make you appreciate great musicianship and have been around, well, forever. Over 40 years to be exact. I was introduced to the band by accident when I found a cassette tape of their 1977 album CSN. I liked the sound but I really didn’t like the album that much. A few months later I received a gift from my uncle for Christmas. It was 1970’s Deja Vu. Deja Vu is a classic album with the legendary Neil Young and every song is amazing on this album. I still have the cd after almost 20 years, though I’m not sure how playable it is after years of abuse.

Crosby, Still & Nash will be releasing a new compilation album of Demos from early recordings on Rhino Records. This will be a single disc with demos of destined classics from the band. Look for Crosby, Stills & Nash Demos on June 2nd.

LOS ANGELES, March 23 /PRNewswire/ — Their first gig together was at Woodstock in front of half a million people. Now, four decades into their creative partnership, Crosby, Stills & Nash (CSN) continue their journey with a 2009 tour of North America and Europe, beginning with a concert in St.Louis, MO on Wednesday, June 3. The tour’s initial North American leg–which will include dates in the U.S. and Canada–wraps at the Bank of America Pavilion in Boston, MA on June 14 (a second North American leg, running August through September, will be announced in the coming weeks).

The Offspring Announce "Sh*t Is F**ked Up Tour"

Posted: 24 Mar 2009 07:06 AM PDT

Honestly I don’t know where they come up with some of the names for tours, but this one is quite obvious. The Offspring have announced their “Shit Is Fucked Up Tour” starting with confirmed dates for May through July. Their album Rise And Fall, Rage And Grace on Columbia Records has been quite the hit with three radio singles making circulation…and people call this punk? It’s no surprise really, as the album was produced by Bob Rock, who is known to take once kick ass bands or members and turn them in to a soft shell of their former selves. If you’re in to The Offspring, check out the widget, which is like a mock presidential address by Dexter Holland. Tour dates after the fold.
