Pavement icon Stephen Malkmus‘ new band The Hard Quartet have released their debut single ‘Earth Hater’, as well as announcing their first live shows in the US and UK.The band, consisting of vocalist, songwriter and guitarist Stephen Malkmus as well as Matt Sweeney, Jim White and Emmett Kelly, shared news of a new musical project earlier this month.They’ve just released their debut single as The Hard Quartet, titled ‘Earth Hater’, and it’s accompanied by a creative stop-motion music video directed by Eyedress.‘Earth Hater’ is a broody indie track that leans into the band members’ grunge-y college rock pasts, with a more psychedelic jam twist, as Malkmus sings a chorus of understanding and harmony: “unto others you must do what you would have them do to you“.The claymation music video acts as a warning against littering, with the band acting as guardians of the sea and getting revenge on a littering surfer by sending a trash monster after him for vengeance.Joining Pavement’s Stephen Malkmus, The Hard Quartet is made up of Emmett Kelly (best known for his work in The Cairo Gang and The Double), Matt Sweeney (best known for his work with Chavez, Superwolf, and music for Red Dead Redemption 2) and Jim White (Dirty Three and Xylouris White).The members were teasing new materials separately on social media, before publicly revealing the logo and band name of The Hard Quartet.The band have also announced tour dates in Los Angeles, New York and London later this year.OCTOBER10 – Los Angeles, US – The Belasco with Papa M15 – New York, US – Webster Hall with Weak Signal22 – London, UK – Electric Ballroom with TubsYou can buy tickets for their US shows here and their UK show here.

Billy Joel brought out Guns N’ Roses frontman Axl Rose to perform a number of songs – watch footage of the performances below.Last night (July 25), Joel wrapped up his decade-long residency with a spectacular showing, as the Piano Man pulled out all of the hits at the hallowed New York venue for a final time.Midway through the set, Joel was joined by Axl Rose for two back-to-back performances, first kicking off with a cover of Wings‘ ‘Live And Let Die’, and AC/DC‘s ‘Highway To Hell’.Watch fan-shot footage of the performances below.Afterwards, Joel continued on with his record-breaking show with hits like ‘We Didn’t Start The Fire’, ‘Uptown Girl’, ‘It’s Still Rock And Roll To Me’ and ‘Big Shot’. To close out his last residency show, Joel once again brought out Axl Rose, this time for ‘You May Be Right’.

Billy Joel’s historic monthly residency at Madison Square Garden on Thursday night when the finality of it all really sunk in.There was when he sang that it’s “some kind of miracle that I survived” in “This Is the Time”— one of the few surprises, but a song he did in dedication to his wife Alexis — as if maybe he didn’t expect to still be here a decade ago when the residency started on Jan. 27, 2014.There was when his 8-year-old daughter Della Rose hammed it up to “My Life” while her 6-year-old sister Remy Anne, in a matching striped dress, looked bored underneath her pink headphones — after Daddy’s banner for his 150th career MSG show was raised above the stage following a tribute by Jimmy Fallon.“Wow, I guess it’s her life now,” said Joel.And, perhaps most surprisingly, there was when he bellowed “I’m movin out!” in his 1978 hit “Movin’ Out.” Out of nowhere, that consistent crowd favorite hit differently.

Billy Joel at the beginning of “New York State of Mind,” his 1976 saloon song that would become a hometown anthem for the ages — and a local crowd favorite during his 10-year monthly residency at Madison Square Garden that ends on Thursday night.Unhappy with his contract with Family Productions — the label that released his 1971 debut album, “Cold Spring Harbor” — the Bronx-born, Long Island-bred crooner hopped a cross-country flight from New York to Los Angeles.And the big move paid off: After making his getaway in 1972, becoming a resident lounge lizard in La La Land, Joel recorded his second and third albums, 1973’s “Piano Man” and 1974’s “Streetlife Serenade” under a new deal with Columbia Records.But you can take the Piano Man out of New York, but you can’t take New York out of the Piano Man.With his fourth album, 1976’s “Turnstiles,” Joel said goodbye to Hollywood — in both song and geography. And his return east inspired his now-legendary love letter to his city.“‘New York State of Mind,’ I wrote actually while I was on a Greyhound bus on my way back from a gig somewhere,” Joel told SiriusXM in 2016.
