Sepultura man plays with Motorhead
A bit of a coming-together this - Sepultura guitarist Andreas Kisser made an appearance with Motorhead at a recent festival in Spain in front of 80,000 people.
Video footage of the performance, at Rock in Rio festival in Madrid, has surfaced on Youtube (check it out below). Kisser played 2 songs with them "Going to Brazil" and "Overkill". Apparently it was all completely impromptu and Kisser had not planned to perform with them, but was called up by guitarist Phil Campbell.
Sepultura play The Wufrun Hall on 17th July - TICKETS HERE
Motorhead play The Civic Hall on 24th November - TICKETS HERE

Paloma Faith continued her Glastonbury adventures by playing the Pyramid Stage, meeting actress Samantha Moreton and, as she described it, getting drunk and playing the gay area of Glastonbury (does Glastonbury HAVE a gay area???) Anyway, I'm sure she enjoyed herself and the weather, for a change, was dry and mud free! If you're a fan have a look at this interview for Q Magazine: 126 days to go ... tickets here
Kid British release their latest EP today "Winner". They seemed to spend most of yesterday furiously tweeting about it, so the least we can do is buy it for them, right? buy it here. (check out the video below). 25 days to go TICKETS HERE
The Big Fest TONIGHT!!!!!
This is one hell of a line-up heading to the Wulfrun Hall this evening ... The Big Fest courtesy of Flavour Magazine
Here's the final line-up:
So, by our calculations a £13 ticket is damn-fine value for money .. plus there's an aftershow party (extra £10 and what a way to wrap up your weekend)

Chipmunk's performance at Worthy Farm resulted in a pulled muscle - he reckons the set was was "major!" though, so couldn't have been that bad! ... 6 days to go ... tickets here. Carl Barat, meanwhile, had a stormer headlining the Park Stage, kicking off his set with some new tracks ... 120 days to go (tickets here)
Blondie have been gearing up for tomorrows show at the Civic with an open air gig at the
Westonbirt Arboretum in Gloucestershire - good reviews too (The Independent) ... 1 day to do (details here)
Elsewhere, a lot of our bands jetting off overseas ...
Feeder have flown out to Japan - sounds like they had a rough landing (aborted at the last minute - eeeek) but they got there in one piece ... 120 days to go ... tickets here)
Whilst You Me At Six (Kerrang Award nominees - vote here) are on the Warped Tour in the States along with Andrew WK, All American Rejects, Pennywise, Enter Shikari, The Dropkick Murphys and many many more.
