Grunge band Candlebox will celebrate the area of grunge and their own origins with a performance at the Lounge Acts Concert at the D and R Theater in Aberdeen, Washington, near Seattle, October 17th. All proceeds will go the building of a youth center in the city, in Kurt Cobain’s name.

Kikd Rock is set to sponsor the Big Three Stage at Arts, Beats & Eats: Festival Hope in Pontiac, Michigan. The festival was facing some tough times, and Kid Rock stepped in to show his support for American companies - the Big Three - Ford, Chrysler, and GM.

Kyle Branum was recently facing some heat after allegedly selling dozens of fake tickets to a Nickelback show in Michigan, the concert happening on August 12th. Sadly, police found Branum dead in his Troy, Michigan home later that night, the man had hung himself.

Speaking of Nickelback, lead singer Chuck Kroeger is being sued by a man who claims the love child of Michael Bolton and Kenny G knocked him out with a punch at a club two years ago. Am I the only one who’s surprised Kroeger knocked the guy out? Of course this guy might be a tiny dweeb. I mean, I know Kroeger’s a bigger guy, but have you heard his music? I guess that’s why he has to be so defensive.
