LA-based duo Paycheque brings together Alison Goldfarb (Geranium) and Jackson MacIntosh of TOPS and Drugdealer. Their self-titled debut album is dropping in June, and its charming lead single is out now. “Generic Actress” has some of that intentionally chintzy retro special sauce you’d expect from an artist with MacIntosh’s associations, and with some nice guy-girl…

Mike Patton Sings Faith No More With Avett Brothers At AVTT/PTTN Tour Opener

Last fall Faith No More/Mr. Bungle frontman Mike Patton teamed up with Scott and Seth Avett — aka the Avett Brothers — for a rather unexpected new band called AVTT/PTTN, sharing their self-titled debut album back in November. Following a couple of promotional appearances and some canceled gigs, Patton and the Avetts have now officially begun their tour.

But Sombr, who recently linked up onstage with members of fellow ’90s alt-rock legends the Cranberries, took a moment out of his Coachella set on Saturday to bring out Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan. Together they sang the Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness hit “1979,” which is having a big moment on TikTok right now. It took a while for Corgan’s mic to start working but they figured it out eventually!

To mark the occasion, Geese debuted a snippet of their “Baby” cover, working it into their 3D Country track “2122.”
