09/27/07 - Two of music's greats, Bob Dylan and Elvis Costello, will be performing at the Ryan Center in the University of Rhode Island for one memorable night this Saturday, Sept. 29. The influential artists will be here to promote various recent projects.
09/27/07 - Hailing from Los Angeles, electro-rock band Metro Station has just released their very first self-entitled album, Metro Station. Metro Station is a young band whose members have worked their way from measly mall jobs to having members of Motion City Soundtrack help produce their album, which was put out on record label, Red Ink.
