New Show Announcement: Gavin Rossdale

Gavin Rossdale
Live at the 9:30 Club | Sunday May 3rd

Last December Gavin Rossdale made a very quiet stop to the Clarendon Ballroom to play for 99.5s Little Black Dress Christmas Party. The former Bush front man is embarking on a tour with a little more ambition. Gavin will be playing at the 9:30 Club the first Sunday of May. Although the show has not been officially announced by the club, Rossdale's site has the date confirmed but without mention to ticket price, date of ticket sale, or time of the show. With that being said, I will most definitely keep you posted when this information surfaces.

For those of you expecting to hear the driving sounds of Sixteen Stone, you may be dissapointed. However, Rossdale's debut solo album, Wanderlust, is very mature and more subdued with some slight undertones of the rock pop that put him on the cover of the Rolling Stone...well, that and his good looks. While the sound has changed, and his career seems to be moving along in the shadows of his wife (aka No Doubt playing to arenas and 20,000+ amplitheaters), Rossdale has managed to put together a decent album that would most definitely warrant a trip to this show...ok "most definitely" comes from the fact that Rossdale will also be performing a fair amount of Bush's catalogue amidst his solo material.

A really chill version of "Love Remains the Same"
