Returning from a holiday season break following completion of the thunderous "Congress of Corruption" fall U.S. tour with new Cement Shoes Records (Fontana/Universal) label mates Ill Nino and Ra, post-industrial glam slammers GODHEAD are set to go back on the road and take their riveting live show overseas in January as the main support on SoiL's U.K. tour. In true holiday spirit, GODHEAD will warm up for its return to British soil by participating in an all-star Toys for Tots benefit, Dec. 15 at the Roxy Theater in Los Angeles, followed by a pre-Christmas L.A. show Dec. 23 at the Viper Room. The three-week Euro-trek will reach more than a dozen venues in England, Ireland and Scotland, with Brand New Sin and Lennon also sharing the bill. GODHEAD continues to support its acclaimed new release, THE SHADOW LINE, the most melodically potent album of a heralded career that has included several successful movie soundtrack favorites. All Music Guide called THE SHADOW LINE "a good, solid example of post-grunge alternative rock that is commercial and friendly for active rock stations" and the Salt Lake City Weekly said it was simply "amazing." Hailed by Rolling Stone as "hybrid, nihilistic and tortured, they suck at your soul and get better with every listen," GODHEAD drew praise in concert from Kerrang! on the "Congress of Corruption" tour for their newly unrestrained sound and skillful ability to "walk that fine line between punchy electro-rock angst and melodic radio fodder," while audiences clamored to buy the new GODHEAD CD at every show. The band recently was interviewed on Headbangers Ball Radio and soon will be chatting with Westwood One as THE SHADOW LINE'S second single, "Push," produced by Ben Moody of Evanescence, arrives at radio. Amid all this music activity, the alter ego of GODHEAD leader Jason C. Miller, as film actor and stuntman, has led to enormous TV exposure this fall - for kids. Miller voices five characters on his latest project, Nickelodeon's hot action cartoon Avatar: The Last Airbender. In fact, one of the characters he voices, Scary Prisoner, was drawn specifically in Miller's image as a tall, muscular, tattooed bald man: THE SHADOW LINE, the fifth U.S. release from GODHEAD, was co-produced by the band with Ben Moody and Julian Beeston (Billy Idol, Nitzer Ebb), and mixed by Jay Baumgardner (Papa Roach). Joining Miller (lead vocals, guitars) in GODHEAD is Mike Miller (lead guitar), Ullrich "Method" Hepperlin (programming/bass) and new drummer Glendon Crain. Cement Shoes Records, formed in 2006 by industry veterans Daniel E. Catullo III (President/Founder of Music DVD company Coming Home Studios), Peter Koepke (former President/Partner of legendary London Records), and Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Jimmy Rollins, seeks to re-establish true artist relationships and development neglected in recent years by major labels. An independent label distributed by FONTANA/Universal, Cement Shoes Records believes the artist comes first and needs to be properly developed through relentless touring and focused marketing efforts to "The Street," where the true music fans are. GODHEAD's 2007 U.K. tour dates: Jan. 10 Bier Keller Bristol, England Jan. 11 Lemon Grove Exeter, England Jan. 12 Rios Bradford, England Jan. 13 The Pitz Club Milton Keynes, England Jan. 14 The Waterfront Norwich, England Jan. 16 The Cathouse Glasgow, Scotland Jan. 17 Spring & Airbrake Belfast, N.

R&B singer Usher sets May 27th as the release date for his eagerly awaited album "Here I Stand." Originally scheduled for a June release the highly anticipated album has been pushed up in order to satiate increasing global demand from all of his fans. The video for "Love In This Club" will make its worldwide debut on MTV April 7th as the smash hit sits comfortably at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. Usher’s newest single, "Love In This Club," features Young Jeezy, and is co-written by Usher and produced by Polow Da Don. The song became his eighth #1 hit and is the lead single from his forthcoming, fifth studio album, Here I Stand. Slated for global release on May 27th, Here I Stand is Usher’s follow-up to his history-making, 9x platinum-selling Confessions. Within the first week of the release of Confessions, Usher sold more than any other R&B artist in the history of SoundScan. The album spawned four #1 hit singles and Usher spent 40 weeks in the No. 1 position on The Billboard Hot 100– which is more than any other male artist in the nearly 50 year history of the chart. Worldwide, the multi-talented, five-time Grammy-winner, musician and actor has sold nearly 14 million copies of Confessions and it earned a multitude of honors including MTV, BET, and People’s Choice awards. Over the span of his 14-year career, Usher has sold close to 26 million albums worldwide and combining all of his single, album and DVD sales, he’s sold in excess of 36 million units globally. With four studio albums, the eponymous first release, Usher (1994) and multi-platinum albums, the 6x-platinum My Way (1997),the 4x-platinum 8701 (2001), and the 9x-platinum Confessions (2004) and one gold-certified live album simply titled Live (1999), and a string of #1 hit singles including "U Remind Me," "U Got It Bad," "Yeah," "Burn," and "My Boo" Usher’s return to the top of the charts is inevitable. The Tennessee-born, Atlanta raised performer, songwriter, producer, dancer, actor started his multi-faceted career at the age of 15-years old. Usher most recently launched a successful line of signature fragrances, actively heads up his own charity, New Look Foundation, a camp for teens that teaches them about the entertainment business, and he is part owner of the Cleveland Cavaliers basketball team.
R&B superstar Beyonce Knowles reportedly left fans disappointed with her diva demands at her Dublin concert on June 9. Fans who won a radio competition to meet Beyonce Knowles claim that her diva demands ruined the whole experience for them. Along with being surrounded by bodyguards, fans were told there would be no kissing, questions or touching with the star and no bags were allowed in with them. Organizers of the event reportedly tried to charge the competition winners for the pictures they had taken with the singer. "It was supposed to be a bit of fun but I felt like I was under surveillance. It was like Beyonce was wrapped in cotton wool," The Sun quoted a fan, as saying. "There were lots of bodyguards watching and I wasn't happy about leaving my handbag in the corridor," the fan added.
