Positively Musical

Big news today that Acca Dacca are coming back for the first time in ages to play Auckland and Wellington in January - yus!

It will be ACDC's first NZ concert in 14 years - I really can't wait!

I loved this bit of the Stuff article, talking about the new vocalist -

"Tragedy struck the group in February 1980 when lead singer Bon Scott died but like true rockers the group continued making music. Scott was replaced by Brian Johnson, who helped complete their album Back in Black which featured singles Hells Bells and You Shook Me All Night Long and has sold more than 22 million copies in the US alone."

By the time of the Auckland concert - Bon Scott will have been dead for 30 years FFS.

In other news - Wilco have a new album on the way which is all very exciting. I was a big fan of Sky Blue Sky and Yankee Hotel Foxtrot and and to whet your appetite they have released a free download track on their site here. It's a cover of Woody Guthrie's The Jolly Banker - it's not actually on the new album but hey its free and awesome.
