Rev Theory 'Light It Up' on the Road to Support June 10 Release
Pool and 10 Years
NEW YORK, April 10 -- The road is about to become home for
New York City's Rev Theory, who kicked off their first tour in support of
forthcoming release "Light It Up" (Interscope/Van Howes Records) Tuesday in
Denver, CO. The 12-date run alongside Seether and Flyleaf comes only a week
after the band performed as part of the Wrestlemania 24 festivities in
Orlando, FL, March 30, where nearly 100,000 wrestling fans descended on the
Citrus Bowl for the main event of the WWE's pay-per-view calendar. The
album's title track was chosen to be the Wrestlemania 24 theme song, and is
featured prominently throughout the wrestling giant's "Smackdown" and "Raw"
television programming.

"Light It Up" was produced by Brian Howes and Josh Abraham, and is the
first joint release from Howe's Van Howes label and Interscope Records.
Howes is most recently known for his work as producer and co-writer on
Hinder's triple-platinum "Extreme Behavior," and also co-wrote on "American
Idol" runner-up Chris Daughtry's self-titled, quadruple-platinum debut.
Abraham's recent production projects include Linkin Park, Staind, Velvet
Revolver and 30 Seconds To Mars.
With Rev Theory's sophomore release scheduled for a June 10 release,
the WWE weren't the only ones to embrace the band. The album's lead single,
"Hell Yeah," has been chosen for inclusion in EA Sports' best-selling video
game "Madden '09," which will be released Aug. 12.
Following the two-week run with Seether and Flyleaf that will see the
Rev Theory -- Rich Luzzi, Julien Jorgensen, Dave Agoglia, Matt McCloskey
and Rikky Lixx -- hitting most of the West Coast, including a Los Angeles
date April 18, the band will play a number of high-profile radio festivals,
highlighted by KDGE Edgefest in Dallas, TX, April 27, where they will be
performing alongside My Chemical Romance, 3 Doors Down, Finger 11, Filter,
Puddle of Mudd and Blue October, and then the much-hyped Rock On The Range
May 18, which will feature the reunion of Stone Temple Pilots, as well as
performances from acts including Kid Rock, Disturbed and Staind.
Lead single "Hell Yeah" is officially released to radio today, and the
band recently completed work on the track's video. Initial tour dates
follow, with more to be announced in the coming weeks ...

Victoria Beckham - Beckham Denies Pregnancy Rumours
Former SPICE GIRL VICTORIA BECKHAM has denied rumours she is pregnant - insisting she wants to concentrate on her three young sons before considering another baby.
The Wannabe singer was alleged to be planning her fourth child with soccer superstar husband David, after completing her hectic comeback tour with the Spice Girls earlier this year (08).
She sparked speculation at her birthday celebrations in April (08) when she was noticeably staying away from alcohol.
But Beckham claims conceiving again isn't an option for her just now, because she already has her hands full with her growing brood.
She says, "Look, I'm not pregnant! We would love another baby but right now, the three boys are still really young. Cruz is only three and David and I would like to enjoy them for a while."
The Beckhams have three children: Brooklyn, nine, Romeo, five, and Cruz, three.

Catholic group protests New York student paintings with religious symbols
NEW YORK - A Roman Catholic watchdog group is protesting a student art exhibition in which religious symbols including a crucifix and rosary are depicted in sexually explicit paintings.
"I have the sneaking suspicion that these paintings made the cut precisely because they were an assault on Catholic sensibilities," Bill Donahue, president of the Catholic League for Civil and Religious Rights, said in a statement Thursday.
The works on display at the private Cooper Union school include paintings, sculpture, graphic design and video installations chosen by the faculty. The exhibit began May 27 and ends June 10.
The target of the protest is a series of paintings by Felipe Baeza. One of them depicts a man with his pants down and a crucifix in his rectum. A Latin caption says, "The day I became a Catholic." Another painting shows rosaries with male genitalia, and a third a man with a halo and erection.
Donahue said the public "should expect more from the art faculty at a distinguished institution of higher education."
In a statement, Cooper Union responded that the art show ending the academic year is curated by faculty of the schools of architecture, engineering and art.
"Hundreds of student works are shown annually without censorship - a tradition at the school since its founding by Peter Cooper 150 years ago," the school said.
The Catholic League, a New York-based group, has a record of protesting art it deems offensive.
In 1999, then-Mayor Rudy Giuliani threatened to cut off city funding for the Brooklyn Museum if it did not remove a canvas depicting a black Madonna decorated with elephant dung and female genitalia. The Catholic mayor called it "insulting to Catholics," and the league urged a boycott of the museum.
The League also got involved in the outcry over a 1987 photograph by Andres Serrano of a crucifix submerged in urine.
The Catholic League, founded in 1973, says it is the nation's largest Roman Catholic civil rights organization.

Busta Rhymes Enlists T.I., Akon For 'Legal Situations'-Inspired 'Don't Believe Them'
Busta Rhymes had a great reason for stopping in the middle of an interview last week. While talking to MTV Base in his hotel room, Bus briefly paused to field a call about the havoc being caused in another room he had rented.
He had converted this temporary living quarters into a studio, and his production people were adding the last bit of flavor to another mega remix, the second coming of "Don't Touch Me (Throw Da Water on 'Em)." He brought together legends, an upstart and a couple of the Hottest MCs in the Game right now.
"[The original] 'Don't Touch Me' is a record that I love very much because it's a song that kind of brings me back to the feeling of vintage Busta Rhymes," he began. "Like that hyperactive, feel-good-energy, wilding-in-a-club, carefree, free spirit. Throwing up drinks around and wet up people and just have fun.
"The remix consists of Reek Da Villain, who is a new artist from Flipmode; Spliff Star, the official Street Corner Colonel; Game; Lil Wayne; Nas and Big Daddy Kane. So this remix is definitely a movie, and I had a fun, fun time putting it together with them guys. I definitely want to salute them artists because I'm definitely a big fan of all the dudes that came through and participated on the remix. We're more than likely to be having a phenomenal video for the remix as well, so, you know, you got a lot to look forward to from the kid, Bussa Bus!"
Busta said it took him and his people three days to put everyone's verses together for the remix, which just leaked to the Net. Meanwhile, "Don't Believe Them," another major posse cut on Busta's LP Blessed, features the King of the South and one of the kings of collaboration: T.I. and Akon.
"The record was inspired by the situation that transpired with T.I. right after the BET Hip-Hop Awards. My legal situations were current, and his legal situations were current, and Akon had his, you know, history of legal situations in the past. ... We wanted people to — as bad as things might look for us sometimes — just know that it ain't over until you say it's over at the end of the day. 'Cause nobody can really dictate what the outcome of your destiny, what your life is going to end up becoming, unless you let it happen that way."
Blessed is due in early July.

Album leaks fuel industry paranoia
Beck is paranoid. I know this because I�m jammed into the middle seat, one row from the toilets, on a wretched American airliner heading to Los Angeles.
Adding to my hell is the tubby Midwestern seatmate who won�t stop talking about how excited he is to be visiting the back lot at Universal Studios. I consider telling him about the fire, but after about 20 minutes of him burbling about Back To The Future, I figure he deserves the surprise.
Beck�s paranoia surrounds the release of his new album, tentatively titled Modern Guilt. With CD sales on a supersonic vector downwards, timing the appearance of a new album has never been more critical. It must not � cannot � appear online before it gets a chance to be shipped to stores. Nothing ruins careful marketing plans like an album leak. And when marketing plans are derailed, sales crater.
Take Weezer�s Red Album, which came out this past Tuesday. It wasn�t supposed to be released until June 24th. But sometime on May 7 � the day after the band finished pre-release interviews with journalists (including me) � it showed up on a variety of torrent sites, forcing the band, their management and their label into some serious damage control. No one knows who leaked it online, but given how careful the Weezer people were with the demo disc, it had to be some kind of weird inside job. We�ll see what happens with first week sales when the numbers are released on Wednesday.
A few days later, I heard the new Coldplay album, Viva la Vida, at a private listening room set up by their label, EMI. After my cellphone was confiscated, a burly dude in a security uniform wanded me as if I might have C4 wrapped in tinfoil around my chest. I almost expected him to X-ray my shoes. Would someone go to a listening session wearing a wire? Maybe. That�s how paranoid EMI is about new Coldplay music going over the wall.
Beck is being even more careful. The only listening session will be held in the L.A. offices of his manager, John Silva � hence my current air travel hell. Knowing John � whose other clients include the Foo Fighters and Jimmy Eat World � security will be super-tight. I wouldn�t be surprised if I�m fingerprinted and asked for a DNA sample. Or maybe I�m just paranoid.
