Another round of updates about the last two week's most interesting news. This time I begin with american singer/songwriter from Oklahoma City
Graham Colton. After releasing "
Pacific Coast Eyes" in April, he has just made available a re-release of the album, simply called "
Pacific Coast Eyes Vol. 2", featuring 3 new tracks and 3 alternate versions of songs included in the first edition. These are Graham's words: "
I am now a #9 "new and noteworthy" artist on iTunes, as well as #16 on the chart! That is amazing for me since I feel like, I'm at a place where I'm reinvigorating my old fans, finding new ones and trying to "reinvent" myself, and it just all seems so organic and more than anything, its just gratifying". If you haven't already done it, watch the video for the single/title-track from "Pacific Coast Eyes"

This is from the
Fair To Midland camp: "
After 7 amazing years of playing with Fair To Midland, our bassist Jon Dicken has decided it was time for him to move on. We appreciate his hard work and dedication to the band, we love him, and wish him the best in all his future endeavors. Moving forward, we are excited to continue touring and making music. Unfortunately, however, this has resulted in the cancellation of our European/UK dates in November. We want to send our sincerest apologies to our European friends and fans from across the pond. We will be regrouping in the following weeks and in the meantime we thank you all for your patience and understanding".

Formed at Louisiana State University by LSU students,
Better Than Ezra has been making great rock music for over 20 years. The band members' Tiger Pride burns as brightly now as it did when they were working their way toward stardom. Better Than Ezra goes back to their roots with the release of their "
Death Valley EP" on October 18th. The record features a modern twist on traditional tailgating songs popularized by The Golden Band from Tigerland. "
LSU football has been a part of our DNA since our first practice just off campus in 1988 and we always talked about recording our favorite game day tracks BTE style. The songs on this ep are iconic to not only LSU's Tiger Band but were originally pop songs from the 50s, 60s, and 80s. For us to be able to come back to LSU and record the songs is a dream come true" says bass player Tom Drummond. Also included on the EP are Better Than Ezra's original songs "
This Time Of Year" and "
Hell No!", inspired by LSU football and their time at the University. Preview and buy the EP on
iTunes now, and listen to "
Chinese Bandits"
