He’s promising multiple costume changes, his giant video wall, and an eight-piece band who will help him play the hits and some songs that have never been performed live before. “This is kind of a ‘best of both worlds’ tour,” he says. “We’ll be doing all the big crowd-pleasing parodies as well as some deep cuts for the hardcore fans – but with twice as many players on stage, everything is going to sound twice as good!” Sad clown Puddles Pity Party will open the shows, which begin with a weeklong residency at The Venetian in Las Vegas in June before heading across North America, running through September.

January 7Jan 7 smokin -- Alt-rock vets Smoking Popes are releasing new protest single “Allegiance” on January 6, and it features vocals from Local H‘s Scott Lucas. “Two days after the election, I was filled with anger and disgust over the result, so I picked up a guitar and poured some of those feelings into a song, which turned into this two-and-a-half-minute punk protest tune,” says Smoking Popes frontman Josh Caterer. “It was written and recorded really quickly and we wanted to release it as soon as possible because it speaks to this moment we’re living in. And we’re excited that Scott was able to be part of it. He’s such a great singer…I think having his voice in there adds to the urgency of the message.” Josh also tells us, “Based on what we’ve seen from Trump so far, there’s every reason to expect an all-out assault on democracy from him in the next few years, and it would be easy to feel hopeless about that, to just give up, but I’m confident that people will fight back. I don’t know what shape the resistance will take, but I think it starts with just lifting your voice and saying ‘No!’ to what’s happening. That’s a freedom we still have in this country and that’s what this song is trying to do.” “Allegiance” is out on Monday. Meanwhile, Smoking Popes also have a new album on the way, titled Lovely Stuff and out in March. (“Allegiance” is not on it.) They’re also on tour starting in February, celebrating the 30th anniversary of their album Born To Quit. Saturday, May 24 – Mahall’s, Lakewood OH

February 1Feb 1 the kids are alright — 🎉 How a Lorain Church Became a Must-See DIY Music Venue and a Beacon of Hope Meet the altruistic young guns hellbent on making the Rust Belt town a cultural epicenter and building community in the process By Lizzie Manno on Wed, Jan 29, 2025 … These genre-spanning bills that mix touring acts from around the country and the world, plus interesting local artists, are sorely needed in Lorain, but are even intriguing for those who make the drive from Cleveland, as the city still gets passed over for tours on occasion—especially experimental shows, though New Ghosts and Cleveland Uncommon Sound Project(CUSP) have made great strides in recent years. With only a dozen or so Church of the Redeemer shows under his belt, Konieczny has accomplished a lot. Among other acts, he’s hosted Leah Senior, an Australian folk singer-songwriter who’s previously performed at Red Rocks Amphitheatre, which brought fans from Chicago to Lorain just for the show; Tatsuya Nakatani, the Japanese master percussionist who’s been touring since the '90s; and Lia Kohl with Whitney Johnson (Matchess, Winged Wheel), two of the most exciting figures of the American contemporary experimental scene more: https://www.clevescene.com/music/how-a-lorain-church-became-a-must-see-diy-music-venue-and-a-beacon-of-hope-45960650

A lot of bands from that era haven't remained relevant, but they have.
