To celebrate its 20 year anniversary this September, Pearl Jam is planning a Labor Day weekend festival at the Alpine Valley Music Theater in East Troy, WI. Pearl Jam will headline every night, along with a hand-picked line up that includes some of its favorite acts and friends such as The Strokes, Mudhoney, Queens Of The Stone Age and John Doe. For more information on the event, including a complete line up and pre-sale information, go here.

Along with the Labor Day festivities, deluxe re-releases of Vitalogy, VS., and  of course Ten, will be available in September.  The Cameron Crowe documentary, which is Crowe’s “love letter” to the band, will also be available and airing on PBS October 21st.

It’s a career worth celebrating, and Pearl Jam are doing it in an interesting, intimate way, something their devoted fans will surely appreciate.

 

Interview With Danny Clinch in Fault Magazine

One of our favorite music photographers is Danny Clinch. His photos are so natural and candid, as well as being beautifully composed. He shots with film (bless) and a Leica. He also plays a mean harmonica. Fault magazine has a brand new interview with him here. Danny’s also branched out successfully over the past couple of years with film, documenting Ben Harper and doing the DVD for Pearl Jam’s live show in Italy, which is excellent. One of our favorite videos he’s directed is “Lie to Me” for Tom Waits. Tom Waits + Danny Clinch = pure bliss.
