With their second album, Nox Aeris, hitting stores tomorrow, Janus will return to the road following Wednesday's hometown release party show at the Cubby Bear in Chicago. They'll play a few nearby gigs this month, then hook up with Cavo on April 7th in Battle Creek, Michigan for a jaunt that will run almost all the way up to a May 25th appearance at the Rocklahoma festival...

Janus aren’t the kind of rock band that’s satisfied with writing songs about getting wasted and partying hard every night. Just look at the concept behind their last album, ‘Red Right Return.’ The set took inspiration from the 1920s Russian Constructionist art, while the title refers to the famed nautical term that captains use when returning to home port safely.

In support of their latest album ‘Hats Off to the Bull,’ hard rockers Chevelle tore up the stage in front of die-hard fans at New York City’s Irving Plaza on Wednesday night (Feb. 29).

Anthony Kiedis must be feeling a little bit better, since the Red Hot Chili Peppers have added another 16 dates to their tour, which was delayed because of an injury to his foot. For more information on the new dates, which cover late April and most of May, go to RedHotChiliPeppers...
