So what has been happening in the music-scene lately?? TKMYL surfed the net for all of you and brings you all the lastest interesting stuff:

• After doing a show with his side-project New Wet Kojak, Scott McCloud (frontman of Washington DC based Girls against Boys) explained to TKMYL the reason for cancelling the GvsB shows in Vera and the melkweg later this month: big trouble with (major) label Geffen. McCloud suspected to be dropped by Geffen later next week. But, as it now looks like, GvsB will be moved to Interscope, meaning they're not being dropped and can go on with their normal schedule of writing, recording and touring.
