Rock Over London, Rock Over Nashville, Nashville's Dead, Etc. [Newsy Bits]

I'm trying to lose five pounds today by pedaling under my desk so I can gain it back on Thursday. In the mean time, a few newsy bits for your perusal.

* Taco Bell has chosen the hapless gastrointestinal tracts of The Features, Roman Candle and Those Darlins (along with Forever the Sickest Kids and a bunch more) for their "Feed the Beat" promotion. All of the bands get "$500 in Taco Bell Bucks for free Fourthmeal, the late night meal between dinner and breakfast." That's probably just a way to mention "Fourthmeal," but it would be funny if you weren't allowed to use your fake Taco Bell money during the day. Makes choosing your collective junk food easier.

* Nashville's Dead has a new home on the interwebs. Now with more triangles! Bringing you the best in garage rock, living room rock and downstairs rock since whenever they started doing it.

* Justin Kase is on tour with Ke$ha, but Hands Off Sam will be filling in for him at Coach vs. Kase this Saturday at 12th & Porter. The show must go on. The name remains the same.

* The new school has a nice video, and rap about their dads more than I was expecting.

The name "Sierra Mist" has always sounded like a feminine hygiene product to me.

I can't tell if the link to the new Nashville's Dead pointing to Taco Bell is a joke or not. Maybe Hot Chelle Rae hooked those kids up with some Taco Bell Fun Bucks and now they're permanently blogging from a booth at the West End Taco Bell.
This is old news but I don't think anyone noticed/cared: The Anchor apparently stopped having shows at the beginning of October. All I can say is good riddance. We only need one venue in town with terrible sound booking bad hardcore bands who write lyrics with Christian overtones.

That's not a prize. That's a fucking death sentence.

I dunno. The girls from Those Darlins could stand to lose a few pounds. Maybe it's a win-win situation. (kidding!) But how is it that the Bouncing souls are considered an "up-and-coming rock act"?
