Our very good friend Bruce has recorded a beautiful version of 'A Rainy Night in Soho,' It's a stunning tribute to Shane's songwriting and it's out on Thursday!

"My father spent most of his waking and sometimes sleeping hours in there...he'd ramble in and stumble out. I wrote this song after he passed at the fair young age of 62. The kind of tribute song he would have approved of. My father was a proud man. Loved his family and his drink in equal measure. My father showed his love shoulder to shoulder, not face to face."

"Wayne [Coyne] and I disagreed on what I should do moving forward," he said, noting that he would have liked to remain on as a studio member. "So we just kind of agreed that I would step back, and then step back turned into not coming back."

The agreement includes a payment of "777 Gorgeous Dollars," a lifetime supply of free passes to Ol' Bernard's Roller Rink & Organ Honkers, and a one-foot plot of Village Lake, "formerly known as Alcohol and Drug Abuse Lake in Richland Country, South Carolina, United States." The contract also states that the label will never ask Pedigo to perform covers of Def Leppard, Dokken, the Doors, Van Halen, or Tank Top Party Lads. Read the full document below.

Rut took piano lessons in grade school, but they didn't stick. He asked his parents for a guitar because he wanted to be Ace Frehley of KISS. When his guitar teacher told him the members of KISS "weren't real musicians," he stopped playing-until high school. "I found a friend who knew all the classic rock riffs. That's when I started hearing songs in my head," he said.

Originally from Illinois and now based in Maine, where he has lived for the past four years, Pokey LaFarge brings a lived-in perspective to American roots music. Drawing from early jazz, blues, swing and folk traditions, his songwriting balances warmth, rhythm and emotional clarity without slipping into nostalgia for its own sake. Over the years, LaFarge has grown into a confident bandleader, known for performances that feel loose but intentional, with space for both musicianship and connection.
