NewsBelong And Album Leaf Hit The RoadExperimental fuzz rockers Belong will be hitting the road this May in support of their 2006 debut, October Language (Carpark). The band will be bringing their brand of dance-rock to the East Coast, kicking off in Tampa, Florida. Joining the band on the road is Sub Pop electronic outfit the Album Leaf. "The Album Leaf shows will be our first outside of New Orleans as a three-piece. When we toured last year with Ariel Pink, we toured as a two-piece because it was the most viable thing for us to do at that time," says Turk Dietrich, one-half of the duo, who tends to a mellotron with a midi controller on stage. "The show is much stronger with the additional instrumentation." In addition to the tour, Belong are set to release a limited-edition LP this summer and have just begun work on their second full-length. The band is aiming for an early 2008 release.

Tommy Dunbar who founded the band The Rubinoos says that the Canadian songstress's track 'Girlfriend' bears a striking resemblance to a 1978 Rubinoos song 'I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend'. The co-writer of Lavigne's track, Dr. Luke, is also being sued, as is her company Avril Lavigne Publishing. Dunbar founded the Rubinoos as a teen with his friend Jon Rubin in 1973. Lavigne's manager Terry McBride is insisting that there is nothing similar between the songs and has apparently had a musicologist confirm it. However, McBride is apparently prepared to settle out of court of the suit becomes too expensive to fight. Lavigne has insurance that covers such lawsuits. This is the second incident of songwriting problems for the singer in recent weeks. Last week Canadian songwriter Chantal Kreviazuk told 'Performing Songwriter' magazine that she will never again work withLavigne saying she will "cross the ethical line and no one says anything. That's why I'll never work with her again. I sent her a song two years ago called 'Contagious,' and I just saw the track listing to this album, and there's a song called 'Contagious' on it-and my name's not on it.' |
