The Rentals July shows at Spaceland was a huge success! All told, they sold almost 2,000 tickets to all four shows. That's almost 500 per show...and the place only holds 250..hey, how does that work ?!? Guess they sold extra tickets to more people as others left early.  Why not, eh? The shows were a lot of fun, and the band even blasted out a cover of the Weezer b-side "I Just Threw Out the Love of My Dreams" with Rachel Haden covering the Rivers Cuomo vocal duties. The Rentals tour starts today in San Francisco. Go see them. You MUST see this show.  Be listening to your local station to hear the band on air.  They will be on air everywhere out on the road.  In other news, arriving this week is the new release from Jersey boys Tokyo Rose.  Track 3 ("We Can be Best Friends Tonight, But Tomorrow I'll Be..." ) is a little different sound for them and the stand-out track.  Check them out on the warped tour all summer! Dates below. Finally, on a personal note, checked out Godsmack here in LA last night, and they definitely brought the rock. The capacity crowd at the Wiltern Theater knew every word to every song. Great show! Props to the two Gary's (Gary Marella and Gary Spangler) at Universal who hooked me up.
