Bits & Pieces: Tuesday Catch-Up

Sounds like the management derby that had everyone clamoring for Hollywood Records artist Breaking Benjamin is winding down.  Expect an announcement soon… Take notice artist Burn Down the Mission recently took a trip up PCH to play for Rick Rubin and we hear the three other majors are lining up to get the band in front of them next… Recent Rolling Stone darling and RM64 favorite, April Smith, kicked off a wet and sticky Lollapalooza last weekend with a great set and also went on camera to tour the festival grounds and sample the food for Billboard.com… Lastly from the  ‘in case you missed it’ department, London’s Mumford & Sons (one of the artists featured on the Future Sounds 33 comp) have recently signed with Island Records UK. And as first reported here L.A.’s Jonneine Zapata has been chosen to support Mark Lanegans’ Soulsavers on their upcoming national tour in September. Stay tuned…
