Good news from the Depeche Mode camp: after lead singer Dave Gahan’s hospitalization earlier this month forced the band to cancel a show in Athens as well as postpone several subsequent dates, things are back in motion.

The trio will resume their interrupted Tour Of The Universe on June 8 at the University of Leipzig in Germany, doctors having given Gahan the OK to begin performing again after the successful removal of a malignant tumor in his bladder. Glad to hear it.

Go here to see their full tour schedule.

Before Ladytron take the stage in their glam outfits and backed by pulsing electronica, their calculated keys producing some of the most recognizable dance tracks around, I climb aboard their tour bus parked around the corner from the venue to stare directly at a KFC. Very chic.

Member Daniel Hunt is making coffee as band mate Mira Arroyo tinkers on her laptop when I sit down. Ladytron and The Faint are playing for two nights at The Fillmore in San Francisco and are swapping headlining duties. Playing at the Fillmore, says Hunt, is surreal because “it’s where we started” as a band.

The UK outfit, which also includes Reuben Wu and Helen Marnie, has been busy since releasing Velocifero last year. In between remixing, DJ appearances, and touring, the band is also producing new tracks for singer Christina Aguilera, which Hunt apologizes he can’t offer to us for a sneak peak. “As soon as you’re gone, I’m actually gonna blast it.” Ladytron are also embarking on a mini-Australian tour which include two nights at the Sydney Opera House as a part of a festival curated by none other than Brian Eno, who asked the band personally to tag along.

During the live show I observe that songs with a more synth like “Ghosts” and “Seventeen” pack a better punch; this night is the one Ladytron are headlining at, and a lot of people in the audience seem half-enthused and half-out of their mind from what I can see from the balcony. I’m glad to also witness that most of the electronic shows I’ve seen in the past few months have had a killer light show to accompany the dance soundtrack. Note to self: think about maybe getting high next time.

At the after show hosted by Popscene, Wu and Hunt take to the DJ decks to blast some crazy techno-type beats. Before the night is over, a woman badgers them about how she got gypped out of seeing Ladytron perform live. “The flyer lied to me! I want my money back! She didn’t perform!” Confused, the two gently try to explain that they were only there to spin and not play, to which the woman replies “How can you be in the band?” She thought Ladytron was a solo act. Hunt’s amusement is beyond containment.

I was told you have the juicy info on everyone in the band. Is this true?
Juicy info, really? [laughs' Maybe just in regards to what we’re doing. We’re finishing the tour in the U.K., then flying to Moscow to play dates with Depeche Mode. And, we’re doing an opera with Brian Eno in Sydney, tailor set to creation and surroundings.

Are you in Brian Eno’s iPod? How did that solidify?
His daughter was actually at our Oxford show, and said her dad was into us. Which is amazing, he was hugely influential to not only us but many others -- just try to document it. The opera is not really every day sort of thing we get to do.

You guys are like the UN of electro groups; you’re in Milan, Reuben’s in Liverpool, and Helen and Mira live in London. Is it hard for things like band practice with you being the furthest?
Living in different places is actually quite good. You spend all this time on the road, so it’s nice to split for a little while. In Europe it’s so cheap to get around. From London to Italy is as easy and cheap sometimes from Liverpool. Milan is also underrated in its reputation, I think. Santo looks like an artsy Paris, and Italians don’t like it very much. But the infrastructure and jobs in architecture, I quite like it. It’s an hour away from the coast.

For making music for people to dance to, it seems your stage presence is really quite calm.
We get asked about that a lot, and that is also said about us a lot too. Truthfully it’s like day and night [when you look at the way we first performed and to now]. I mean, do you want us to strap on a synth and punch the air? The whole idea of “stage craft” is bullshit, like someone gave you a manual and things to say in between songs and how to act on stage. I find it to be really false. When I watch bands, I just watch them play, not how much they jump around. We just didn’t buy into the idea and I’ve always found that a bit funny.

What does it mean to go on a DJ tour, anyway?
Put on your iPod and play some shit. (laughs) It’s normal from band members to do that, but “DJ tour” I admit is a weird wording. It’s more like DJ gigs. When we started going out on our own to DJ it was quite uncommon, because most bands were just doing live shows all the while. It’s a good way to try out new material that you don’t do on the road, or when you’re in between albums and need to kill time. But sometimes that goes against us or people do weird shit. Once someone asked me “Can you play some Ladytron?” and I said, “This is Ladytron, it’s our new single.” The response there was “Oh, okay. But can you play some Ladytron we know?”

As reported earlier in the week, Depeche Mode singer Dave Gahan had been rushed to a Greek hospital as the band was set to take the stage. The Athens show was canceled, as was their show in Istanbul the following night. Now we’ve gotten word they will miss four more shows.

From the press release:
Depeche Mode have been forced to cancel an additional four shows on their Sounds of the Universe tour due to further complications from singer Dave Gahan’s severe bout of gastroenteritis. Dave is currently undergoing further tests.

Ticket holders for the above shows are advised to hold on to their tickets as an announcement will be made shortly in regard to rescheduled dates or final cancellation.

From Spaceballs:
“Fuck water, get that man some Pepto-Bismol!”

Canada has some good exports going on: beer, nuclear fuel, bacon. Ontario’s Junior Boys fall right in line with these tasty acquisitions, releasing 2006’s wistful and unadulterated So This Is Goodbye to critical acclaim and a world tour that followed suit.

Such a praise is hard to draw from with the duo’s newest release Begone Dull Care, which truthfully is fairly saddening to stomach. The tracks on the eight song album reflect more of a transitory approach and sometimes lose focus on nailing a hook, the Boys wading a bit in their keys trying to find a clear path.

Starter “Parallel Lines” employs lite Depeche Mode industrial congos, also being a bit slower in beat but still harboring a nice change in pace for an opening song. This attitude also spills into “Work”, which induces a more downtempo feel instead of the Boys’ usual upbeat tactics.

There are proud attempts for more dancefloor tracks, however. “Hazel” is most successful, and I want so badly for this to be more of the album, as it integrates a fantastic pop element, hook and feel to compliment singer Jeremy Greenspan’s breathier vocals, which finally break away from his more quieter moments to make an appearance here. “Bits and Pieces” offers synth slightly reminiscent to Sega’s Sonic 3, but Greenspan’s singing here again is lined up much sexier and stronger, evocative of last album’s “The Equalizer.”

But songs like “Sneak A Picture” and “Dull To Pause” don’t tell me anything new, and sound like rehashing from an old studio session. Closer “What It’s For” lays the album out flat as a finale, dry and abandoned. The album cohesively seems muddled, and while gems like “Bits and Pieces” seem like a step in the right direction, it’s hard to distinguish how the guys even feel about the album themselves. It seems like the Junior Boys are swimming a bit to try and regain footing in the striking element that made both Last Exit and So This Is Goodbye such gorgeous albums to strap your headphones on for.

At last, the Lollapalooza rumors are put to rest — Depeche Mode, Tool, The Killers, Beastie Boys, Kings of Leon and (of course) Jane’s Addiction will be headlining this year’s festival, along with an impressive cast of supporting bands, Lollapalooza organizers confirmed today.

More than 100 bands/artists/DJs will take the Lolla stage this year, including TV on the Radio, Vampire Weekend, Andrew Bird, Animal Collective, Arctic Monkeys, Fleet Foxes, Silversun Pickups, Bon Iver, Crystal Castles, Los Campesinos! and Passion Pit. This year’s event will also introduce “Perry’s”, a nightclub style stage featuring dance and electronic music. The DJs set to spin include MSTRKRFT, Bassnectar, DeadMau5, Animal Collective and Bloody Beetroots.

After selling out last year for the first time since Lollapalooza took roots in Chicago, ticket sales don’t seem to be lagging. Early bird discount passes went on sale at the end of March for $195. Regular priced tickets are $205, and of course if you’re not like the rest of us, worrying about saving $10 on a $200 concert ticket, you can always check out the VIP options at Lollapalooza.com.

All those rumors about a Jane’s Addiction reunion for this years Lollapalooza might just be correct. Though it hasn’t been officially confirmed, industry sources have said that the original Lollapalooza band Jane’s Addiction, Depeche Mode, and the Beastie Boys will all be headlining this year’s festival.

This years Lollapalooza will be taking place in Grant Park on August 7-9, and will look and feel a lot like it did back in the 90s — both Jane’s Addiction and the Beastie Boys are veteran Lollapalooza performers. Along with the already stellar headlining acts mentioned, three more big-name bands are apparently in the works to be added to the list. The official line-up for the festival will not be released until next month, but the rumor mills are bound to be flying with speculation until then.

The Beatsie Boys played Lollapalooza back in 1994, and Jane’s Addiction split up soon after headlining the very first Lollapalooza back in 1991. Now, the original four members of the band have announced a national tour, and seem to be Lollapalooza-bound. This year will be Depeche Mode’s first go at the festival, if industry insiders are correct about the three headliners.

Some of our favorite Englishmen and one very petite and feisty English lady are heading to this side of the ocean this summer, and we’ve got all the dates and deets for you here now.

Lady Sovereign will be embarking on her first U.S. tour along with Chicago-based DJ Annalyze. She’s supporting her new album, Jigsaw, and hopefully she’s ready to live up to the reputation she’s built for herself opening for Gwen Stefani, playing to a cool million in Times Square on New Year’s Eve and playing foosball with our editor.

Depeche Mode will also be heading out, on the road, in the sky, pretty much just about everywhere on the planet. And if not everywhere, then at least 27 countries in four months. It’s pretty insane, but it works quite nicely with the title of their upcoming LP Sounds of the Universe.

Are you ready for some excitement? This spring/summer is bound to be a musically fulfilling time, as Mogwai, Leonard Cohen, Depeche Mode and Late of the Pier have all announced tour dates for the upcoming months.

Mogwai are the first to set sail, starting off their tour in Athens, Greece tomorrow night. The band will be touring throughout Europe, the U.S., and Australia, ending their three month tour at the Orpheum Theatre in Los Angeles, CA. Recently the Scottish band asked fans to sign a petition to protest laws that limited the volume at UK concerts, according to Pitchfork, so if you’re out at a Mogwai concert in the U.S. or Austrailia, be ready to have your eardrums rattled.

Leonard Cohen will be touring throughout April and May, making his first stop in Austin, Texas, after which the tour will continue throughout the U.S., ending on June 2 in Morrison Colorado. Cohen just recently played his first U.S. show in 15 years at NYC’s Beacon Theatre. The 74-year-old performer said, “It’s been a long time since I stood up on this stage in New York City. I was 60 years-old, just a kid with a crazy dream. Since then I’ve taken a lot of Prozac.”

In support of their soon-to-be released album, Sounds of the Universe, Depeche Mode will also be touring starting in July. The electro legend’s “Tour Of The Universe” will start off in Toronto on July 24, and will continue on for 21 more dates throughout North America.

Late of the Pier, the eclectic quartet from Nottingham, England, is playing a month of tour dates in the U.S. starting on March SXSW. The band will then be making their way throughout the greater U.S. regions, ending their tour on April 19, in Indio, California, where they will be performing at the Coachella Music Festival.

The electronic pop sounds of Ladytron are undeniably catchy. Their infectious beats manage to permeate through your brain, leaving you unable to deny the trance of dance the foursome create, and Christina Aguilera’s people must have caught onto Ladytron’s noxious sound; having the two teams pair up in the studio together, collaborating on Aguilera’s upcoming album.

The Liverpool DJ’s toured through out 2008 playing in over 31 cities, but have managed to take some time to write songs for Aguilera. Aguilera is also employing the likes of Goldfrapp and Sia Furler, according to Billboard.com. No information has been given regarding her forthcoming album, but with Ladytron put into the mix, there’s bound to be some sort of unique sounds coming out of the once-deemed pop-princess’ new record.

Aside from helping out Aguilera in the studio, Ladytron is also releasing a six track EP called Tomorrow on March 3rd and getting ready to hit the road starting in April, where they will be co-headlining a tour with The Faint. After concluding their North American tour, the group will also be playing four shows with Depeche Mode in Europe, and two shows at the Sydney Opera House with Brian Eno.
