After the Dave Matthews Band played in Saratoga Springs, N.Y. this weekend (June 8 and 9), more than 200 ants — er, concertgoers — marched into the arms of law enforcement, where they received tickets and citations for what a local paper is referring to as “a smattering of misdemeanors.”

Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros celebrated the one-week birthday of their new album, ‘Here,’ by paying a visit to ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’ last night (June 5) and performing a pair of songs: ‘That’s What’s Up’ and latest single ‘Man on Fire.’

It’s been one of 2012′s hits that just won’t quit, but the guys in fun. know they can’t count on everyone to keep listening to ‘We Are Young’ forever, so they’ve done the right thing and served up a new single and video from their ‘Some Nights’ album.

Garbage are back with their first new album in nearly a decade, and the band is very happy to reconnect with its fans — but that doesn’t mean singer Shirley Manson is going to stand for violence at shows, as one concertgoer found out after getting into an altercation with a fellow attendee on Friday, May 25.

Franz Ferdinand have been out of the studio for several years now — and their last few singles didn’t even chart in most parts of the world — but that doesn’t mean their fan base has forgotten about them.

Now you can experience the song stylings of Nigel Godrich as a recording artist in his own right: he’s gone and started a band, dubbed Ultraista, with in-demand session drummer Joey Waronker and vocalist Laura Bettinson.

Florence + the Machine have been running at high gear lately, what with promoting their most recent studio set (2011′s ‘Ceremonials’), their recent live release (‘MTV Unplugged,’ out just last month), and keeping up with a busy tour schedule that found them headlining New York’s Radio City Music Hall earlier this week.

We’ve got just over a month until Paul McCartney treats us to the expanded deluxe reissue of ‘Ram,’ but while you’re counting down the days until your copy of the box set arrives on your doorstep, you can watch a new promotional video in which Sir Paul reflects on the recording of the album.

A lot of things have changed since the last time David Lee Roth and Van Halen toured behind a brand new album together, but one thing will always stay the same: Diamond Dave is all about the love, man, and he proved it again last night (March 13) when he stopped the band’s performance in Manchester, NH to admonish some fans for fighting each other.

If you don’t own an iPad, here’s some news that might make you gently weep: A new app gives users the opportunity to explore George Harrison‘s extensive guitar collection, complete with audio clips, video, and 360-degree views of the instruments.
