Lots of cool happenings in the music world.
First up… Ash’s latest album Meltdown is FINALLY getting a release in the US. From Filter:
Record Collection is proud to announce the US release of ASH’s new album Meltdown on March 8th 2005. The album’s release will coincide with a new Lucas Arts Star Wars videogame Republic Commando that features ASH’s single “Clones” as the theme song. This marks the first time Lucas Arts has ever used a band’s song in anything Star Wars related. The US release will feature exclusive bonus tracks and DVD footage not available on the European full length version of Meltdown.
Ash will tour the US in support of Meltdown this Spring.
Such Star Wars geeks. Love it!
