It’s time to mourn the loss of another legendary venue. Ziggy’s, a Winston-Salem tradition for the past 30 years, closes its doors on Sunday. The list of bands that have come through the doors at Ziggy’s is staggering in both size and quality. Perpetual Groove closes the venue down in style on Sunday by hosting A Last Supper featuring a bunch of their close friends.
- With Sly Stone, in 2007, you take what you can get
- Spin interviews Arcade Fire and Bruce Springsteen for their first joint interview
- Donald Fagen let it slip that Steely Dan will return to the road next summer
- Neddy remembers Hampton ’97 ten years later
- Weezer is gearing up to release its sixth album, Tout Ensemble, on April 22nd
- The fight over James Brown’s estate continues to rage on
- Glen Phillips hits the road early next year
Finally, former Lynyrd Skynryd drummer Artimus Pyle was thrown in jail for failing to register on a sex offender’s list. Gimme three steps towards the cell.
