Wilderado has premiered a new single called “In Between.”
“‘In Between’ is one of those songs that fell out while struggling to write several other tunes,” says frontman Max Rainer. “We paused in a moment of frustration while at the studio and found a riff [drummer] Justin [Kila] had written several years back. The song appeared as a reprise in the space caused by exhaustion, writer’s block and imposter syndrome.”
You can listen to “In Between” now via digital outlets and watch its accompanying video streaming now on YouTube.
“In Between” follows Wilderado’s 2021 self-titled debut album, which spawned the singles “Head Right” and “Surefire.” The group also put out a live album in April.
The outing, dubbed the Warrior Souls tour, kicks off October 9 in San Francisco and wraps up October 26 in Phoenix. Tickets go on sale Friday, September 1, at 10 a.m. local time.

The Warrior Souls tour will follow The Hu’s co-headlining Psycho Thunder tour with Asking Alexandria, which launches Wednesday, August 30, in San Antonio, Texas.
The Hu released their latest album, Rumble of Thunder, in 2022. A deluxe version, featuring collaborations with Alice in Chains‘ William DuVall and System of a Down‘s Serj Tankian, dropped in June.
John Mellencamp is off the market. During an appearance on Club Random with Bill Maher, the Rock & Roll Hall of Famer revealed he’s been dating a 57-year-old woman for the past seven months.
While Maher tried to get Mellencamp to identify his lady friend, he’d only say, “She’s a beautiful 57-year-old woman who just walked into my apartment in New York unexpectedly.”
He added, “She was with a couple of friends. She walked in. She didn’t know I was going to be there. I didn’t know she was there. We met each other.”
He also said that she “has a really high threshold for tolerance” and that she’s “never even got angry at me” in their time together.
And things must be going well because Mellencamp says she hasn’t left his side in seven months.
Talking Heads broke up rather acrimoniously back in 1991, but keyboardist Jerry Harrison says the upcoming 40th anniversary rerelease of their iconic concert film Stop Making Sense has healed some old wounds.
During an appearance on Consequence’sKyle Meredith With … podcast, Harrison says when they were approached by distributor A24 about rereleasing the film, it forced them to “work together to make a decision” about whether it was a good fit.
“Then A24 is going like: ‘Here’s the offer — we’re going to get really behind this, if you help us.’ And so it was like, ‘Obviously, we need to work together to make this a success,’” he says.
All four original members — Harrison, David Byrne, Tina Weymouth and Chris Frantz — are set to reunite for a Q&A about the film at the Toronto Film Festival on September 11.
“I think it’s been a somewhat of a healing experience for everybody,” Harrison shares. “It’s like, ‘Yeah, we actually can work together and do this.’ And this is something we’re all proud of.” He adds, “It’s not like the feelings that made people say various things are totally gone or anything like that, but it’s sort of like they’ve been voiced, do you need to voice things like that over and over again? I mean, I made my point.”
Harrison also says thanks to his success on Broadway, Byrne has gained a “new confidence” that has actually helped his relationship with his former bandmates. He notes, “It also [helped him] let bygones be bygones, because why waste our time on these petty complaints from the past? I don’t need to prove anything, because now, I have proven it.”
A24 will release the newly restored Stop Making Sense nationally on September 23.
Shortly after announcing a premiere date for season 3 of Power Book III: Raising Kanan, Starz has announced a return date for BMF.
New episodes of the 50 Cent-produced hit drama will debut on Friday, March 1.
Season 3 will continue the story inspired by brothers Demetrius “Big Meech” Flenory and Terry “Southwest T” Flenory — played by Demetrius Flenory, Jr. and Da’Vinchi, respectively — who established the infamous crime family known as Black Mafia Family. The new episodes take place in the early ‘90s with the Flenory family aiming to reinvent themselves.
As previously reported, 50 Cent’s other Starz project, Power Book III: Raising Kanan, will return for season 3 on December 1. Mekai Curtis stars as the younger version of Kanan Stark, the character 50 played in the original Power series. Patina Miller plays his mother, Raquel Thomas.
When Lauren Daigle performed in Nashville in 2021, she teamed up with a company called KultureCity to create a special “sensory room,” where people in need of a quieter or more secure environment could watch the concert. Now she’s offering these “sensory rooms” at 17 stops on her upcoming The Kaleidoscope Tour.
The rooms, again created by KultureCity, are designed by medical professionals and will be outfitted with bean bags, visual light panels, interactive lights, bubble walls and “tactile artwork” created by an autistic artist. Each room is designed to provide a safe, calming environment for attendees who feel overwhelmed or overstimulated.
“The amazing thing about playing live is that feeling I get when I’m looking out from the stage seeing people connect to the music – and to each other,” Lauren says of the project. “These sensory rooms we’re creating with KultureCity are all about giving everyone that experience. For me, that’s what touring is all about.”
A KultureCity executive adds, “We’re honored to partner with Lauren to provide a truly inclusive experience for all fans and guests.”
The Kaleidoscope Tour, which comes in support of Lauren’s new self-titled album, starts September 6 in Memphis, Tennessee. That stop will include a sensory room; here’s a list of the other shows that will feature them:

Neil Young is set to play two shows in September to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the West Hollywood venue The Roxy, and he’ll be backed by his band Crazy Horse. But one longtime member of Crazy Horse won’t be able to make it, and Young has just revealed his replacement.
Crazy Horse guitarist Nils Lofgren will have to sit out the two shows because he’ll be busy on the BruceSpringsteen & The E Street Band stadium tour. Instead, Neil announced that Willie Nelson‘s son Micah Nelson will be filling in.
According jambands.com, Neil shared the news on his Neil Young Archives site in response to a letter from a fan. The fan wrote to Neil, “Just letting you know if you need a rhythm guitar player I know all the songs,” to which Neil simply replied, “Thanks, Michah’s got it.”
Young and Crazy Horse will headline The Roxy in Los Angeles on September 20 and 21, almost 50 years to the day Young first performed for the venue’s opening. Both shows will benefit The Painted Turtle, a camp for children with serious medical conditions, and The Bridge School, which educates children with severe speech and physical impairments.
Bruce Springsteen has rescheduled the two Philadelphia shows he postponed earlier this month — and fans are going to have to wait a whole year to see The Boss.
The concerts at Citizens Bank Park will now take place August 21 and 23, 2024. They were originally supposed to happen August 16 and 18, 2023, but were postponed because Springsteen had “taken ill.”
Fans who want to go to the new dates simply have to hold on to their tickets. Those who can’t make it, or simply don’t want to wait that long, have 30 days starting August 30 to request a refund through Phillies.com/Springsteen. Refunds for tickets purchased through a secondary site must go through that site.
While a yearlong wait is certainly a bummer, some fans may be happy by the announcement since it suggests Springsteen will be touring in 2024.
Next up, Springsteen comes home to the Garden State, with a three-night stand at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, August 30, September 1 and September 3. A complete list of dates can be found at brucespringsteen.net.
Mayor Beyoncé? The singer is set to be named honorary mayor of Santa Clara, California, ahead of her Renaissance tour stop there Wednesday night.
According to The Mercury News, Bey will be getting the temporary title along with a key to the city. City officials have also extended the curfew for Wednesday night’s show at Levi’s Stadium, allowing Bey to play until 11 p.m.
“The city of Santa Clara is excited about Beyoncé’s upcoming visit to the world-renowned Levi’s Stadium,” Santa Clara spokesperson Michelle Templeton said in a statement to The Mercury News. “Her concerts will certainly bring a great deal of energy and excitement.”
Meanwhile, Bey’s hubby, Jay-Z, has reactivated his Instagram to promote a new film project. He shared a teaser trailer for The Book of Clarence, which he helped produce. The film — starring LaKeith Stanfield, James McAvoy and Benedict Cumberbatch — hits theaters January 12.
