Not only were the Green Day fans in attendance last night at the Echoplex in Los Angeles lucky enough to make it into the band’s secret show, but they also got to witness performances of at least nine songs that will appear on the group’s upcoming ‘¡Uno!’ ‘¡Dos!’ ‘¡Tre!’ album trilogy.

Two members of Clap Your Hands Say Yeah are bowing out of the group after this weekend’s show in New York City. Bassist Tyler Sargent and guitarist Robbie Guertin both say their departures are due not to any dissension in the group, but rather a desire to simply move on to other things.

It seems everybody wants a piece of the Black Keys‘ music these days. The rockers aren’t above licensing their songs for use in commercials, but they claim in a new lawsuit that two large companies – Pizza Hut and Home Depot – borrowed their music without compensating them.

Violence broke out after Saturday night’s Red Hot Chili Peppers concert in Newark, N.J., where at least five people were assaulted leaving the venue by what a police director called a group of teenage “thugs.”
