Sad news: The music world mourns the loss of Ray Manzarek (74), founding Member and keyboarder of The Doors, White Zombie drummer Phil Buerstatte (44) and Uriah Heep bassist Trevor Bolder (63). R.I.P.!
German Hardrockers BERSERKER will donate 18.000€ to the Berlin cancer charity for children on May 25. November 2011 BERSERKER front man Schröder was diagnosed with cancer, now he is cancer-free. In 2012 the band collected money for this charity at their concerts and will also continue to do so in the future. Slayer´s Jeff Hanneman is dead: he passed away at about 11AM on May 2nd near his Southern California home because of liver failure due to an infection after a spider bite. R.I.P. Jeff!

The Lex STALKERs Fresh Act April 2011 (This interview was done right before the terrible events in Japan. Our thoughts and prayers are with the suffering people, the entire STALKER crew wish you the best and that you can muster the strength to hang in there!)
Our Fresh Act of April 2011 comes from the land of the rising sun: The Lex are dedicated to the best of 80’s rock music. They tell us a bit more about the Rock Scene in Japan and the best sightseeing places for rockers when they visit Tokyo. >> more/mehr

The Love Guns STALKERs Fresh Act March 2012 NICE BOYS DON´T PLAY ROCK´N´ROLL – that´s the motto to which the Austrians Niki - guitar, vocals, Arne - lead guitar, Rio – bass, Paul – drums have committed themselves. Their loud dirty Rock´n´Roll / Punk mixture spiced up with juicy lyrics has such cool ear candy quality, so that we just have to present this band to you here. A meeting in Klagenfurt, Austria, didn´t work out, but that hardly matters thanks to modern technology – a web-chat with Nik and Rio feels almost like a face-to-face talk. Moreover, the author was spared an additional translation from Austrian Southern Slang to Standard German ;) >> more/mehr
