Jack White Changes Name
from the Ministry of Silly Walks dept.
For the duration of the White Stripes' current British tour, increasingly Axl Rose-esque (and I mean that in a good way, goddamnit) frontman Jack White has demanded that he be called "Three Quid." Arriving onstage at the Hammersmith Apollo wearing a top hat and carrying a stuffed chicken, White lauded London as the Stripes' "home away from home" and then revealed his new identity. He repeated that alias several times during the show. Up there with Ziggy Stardust, definitely.

DMBQ drummer killed in tour van accident
from the And the winter touring season hasn't even started yet... dept.
Mana "China" Nishiura, drummer for avant-garde Tokyo garage band DMBQ, was killed Nov. 4 when the group's tour van rolled in a traffic accident in Delaware, according to Seattle's Sunset Tavern and various web sources. Nishiura's bandmates — Shinji Masuko, Toru Matsui and Ryuichi Watanabe — were injured in the crash, but are expected to make a full recovery, sources say. Panache Magazine's Michelle Cable, travelling with the band, suffered a head injury and is still hospitalized. DMBQ was travelling to Brooklyn for a gig that night. A number of venues on the band's tour, including the Sunset, have announced benefit/tribute shows in lieu of the group's appearance. Nishiura was a member of Shonen Knife from 2001-2004. No further details are available.

David Cross Impersonator Terrorizes NYC
from the NOT a Never-Nude dept.
ATTN: NYCers! Have YOU been approached by a very familiar acerbic bald man with glasses in a Williamsburg hipster bar? Have YOU been swept off your feet by the man who made "Taint" Magazine seem so real? Have YOU bought drinks for a certain ambiguous cast member of "Arrested Development"? Then you might just have been taken for a SUCKER! That's right, New York City is being plagued by a rogue David Cross impersonator. He's out for free drinks and tail... and world domination. Beware.
