No Doubt Set to Reunite.

No Doubt posted a photo of themselves on their website and announced it was time to tour again during an online chat. Gwen - who recently gave birth to her second child with husband Gavin Rossdale - said: "I don't think we should wait. Pack up the babies and get a bunch of nannies. So fun! Would be so inspiring to get out there and play all those songs again." Bassist Tony Kanal added: "We need to play. It's been too long. I feel like it's time for some rock and roll. "The group - who had hits including 'Don't Speak', 'Just A Girl' and 'It's My Life' - reunited briefly last year at one of Gwen's concerts in California. Tony - along with drummer Adrian Young and guitarist Tom Dumont - began working on new material earlier this year.

No Tour for The Vines

The Vines frontman's deteriorating mental condition has forced the cancellation of The Vines' upcoming tour. Craig Nicholls and the band were scheduled to play dates in Japan as well as their native Australia in November, but have been forced to pull them due to Craig's Asperger's Syndrome. The band released this statement on their website: "It is with a great deal of regret that The Vines announced that they have cancelled all of their Australian festival appearances - Homebake, Pyramid Rock and Big Day Out - and their forthcoming Japanese tour scheduled for late November. “Craig Nicholls’ mental condition has deteriorated extremely rapidly over the past month to the point where he requires immediate help over an extended period of time. "Drummer Hamish Rosser added: "On behalf of The Vines we would like to extend our sincerest apologies to those of you who have bought tickets to see us perform and will not get to do so.

Justice Release CD/DVD
As Justice were about to tour the USA for the second time, multi-award winning director and friend of the band, Romain Gavras taped every second of that 3 week tour that looks like it lasted 3 years. This documentary ain't about how cool Justice's live show is (the bonus CD is here for that), but is all about the extraordinary things that can happen when a bunch of frogs gets dropped in dreamy America.

This live CD + DVD release will include recordings of Justice's signature live sets along with show footage and various hijinks captured as the band toured the US in March 2008.


Canadian Musicans Going Abroad
Alex Cuba, Bedouin Soundclash and Patrick Watson are among the Canadian acts set to rock Tokyo next week as part of an annual musical showcase in Asia.
For the second year, the Canadian Independent Record Production Association is spearheading a "music trade mission" to Japan, with industry representatives from a host of Asian countries expected to take in performances by and meet with Canadian artists as well as a slate of record labels. CIRPA president and CEO Duncan McKie says As our business becomes more dependent on export markets to survive, we have to get out there and do the best we can and find other channels to sell our music.


Batman has Another Fight On His Hands.
This one is with Batman. Actually, it's with the mayor of Batman, Turkey. Variety says the mayor of the Turkish town of Batman wants royalties from ``The Dark Knight'' so he's suing Warner Brothers and the director, Christopher Nolan.

Crystal Castles Tops a "Cool List"

Relative newcomer to the indie scene Alice Glass has scooped the title of coolest person in music in the NME’s seventh annual Cool List, released today! The Toronto based singer, who fronts electro punk band Crystal Castles, and is famed for her crowd surfing antics, has narrowly beaten off competition from heavy weight hip hop icon Jay Z.Glass told NME: 'I’m flattered, thank you. Why do I think I won? My pact with Satan hasn’t expired yet.'

Two Hours Traffic
Every year, countless young Canadians arrive in Toronto in pursuit of fame, fortune - or at the very least, an affordable downtown apartment. In 2006, the four guys from Two Hours Traffic - Alec O'Hanley, Liam Corcoran, Andrew MacDonald and Derek Ellis - made the trek. The Charlottetown, PEI band was in need of a record label and a manager. They soon found both - and then three months after they arrived, all of them "promptly booted it home."Two years later, it appears the band made the right move. Their 2007 LP Little Jabs -- an 11-track tribute to the three-minute pop-song (by way of equal parts Beach Boys and the Gin Blossoms) -- won the 2008 ECMA for Best Pop Recording of the Year. Their sugar-sweet songs have found their way onto Gossip Girl and One Tree Hill, among other teen dramas. And the critics, too, lapped it up, making Little Jabs one of this year's Polaris Prize nominees.
