The MTV VMAs wasn't the only notable happening on Sunday night: legendary rockers The Replacements got together for the first time in 22 years to perform at Toronto's Riot Fest. Paul Westerberg and Tommy Stinson were joined by drummer Josh Freese (nope, not Chris Mars) and guitarist David Minehan as they played a 22-song set over 75 minutes, with a little bit of banter in between. "Hello. Sorry it took so long, for 25 years,we had a wardrobe debate. Unresolved," Westerberg began as he stood with Stinson. The Replacements Live Archive Project captured good audio of the whole performance, which you can stream...

The Replacements, one of the biggest punk rock bands of the 1980s, is planning to reunite this summer at Riot Fest 2013, a multi-band tour heading to Toronto, Denver and Chicago.
An active band from 1979 to 1991, the members of The Replacements have not performed as a single live band since July 4, 1991. That last show, performed in Grant Park, Chicago, has become legendary -- roadies gradually replaced band members on stage until all were gone, leading to the nickname "It Ain't Over 'Til the Fat Roadie Plays."
Technically, The Replacements never broke up. The band members just stopped playing.
That all changed in October 2012. Singer Paul Westerberg and bassist Tommy Stinson officially reformed the band in order to record an Ep, "Songs for Slim." Only 250 copies of the vinyl album were made and sold in order to benefit Slim Dunlap, the Replacements' guitarist, after a stroke.
Despite the official band reunion, there...

The '80s are officially back as alternative favorite The Replacements are set to reunite.
Formed in 1979, The Replacements are scheduled to perform together for the first time in more than twenty years at the upcoming music festival Riot Fest. The band is top-billed for three shows at the festival: an August 25 show in Toronto, a mid-September show in Chicago, and a late September show in Denver.
"Oh, and you saw that right, The Replacements are playing!" an accompanying announcement to the Riot Fest lineup reads on the music festival's official website.
Originally made up of Paul Westerberg, Bob Stinson, Tommy Stinson, and Chris Mars, The Replacements performed onstage for the last time in Chicago's Grant Park on July 4, 1991. The surviving members of the band, Westerberg, Tommy Stinson, and Mars, teased a reunion late last year.

The Replacements played their last show in Chicago in 1991, and though the influential drunk-rock band never officially broke up, the likelihood of any new activity dwindled through the years: Singer-guitarist Paul Westerberg has been famously reclusive, bassist Tommy Stinson has been playing with Guns N Roses, Chris Mars has pursued a career as a visual artist (he also left the band a year before that last show), and guitarist Slim Dunlap had a serious stroke last year. That last bit of information actually ignited this reunion: Westerberg and Stinson re-grouped last year to record an Ep to benefit Dunlap ...

The beauty of animation lies in its versatility. If your subject matter calls for light and pretty visuals, you can do that. If, however, you're tackling something a little more unsettling it is more than capable of that as well. And such is very much the case for Chris Mars' Sundance selected short In Hanford, an animated effort that tackles the issue of nuclear waste in a graphic and unsettling form. Watch a trailer below for a taste....

The Replacements have reunited to record a new Ep of cover songs that will come out later this year. Only 250 copies of the 10-inch vinyl Ep will be pressed, and all will be auctioned online, according to Rolling Stone. Sales of the EPs will go to assist Slim Dunlap, who served as the band’s guitarist from 1987-1991. He had a stroke in February. Singer Paul Westerberg and bassist Tommy Stinson cut the tracks in a Minneapolis studio in late September to cut the tracks. Drummer Chris Mars did not take part: Peter Anderson plays drums on the Ep, while Kevin...

Minneapolis gang’s side projectstill breathes fresh air
Compare Golden Smog to Wilburys if you must, but this alleged supergroup (variously Uncle Tupelo/Wilco’s Jeff Tweedy, the Jayhawks’ Gary Louris and Marc Perlman, Soul Asylum’s Dan Murphy, Run Westy Run’s Kraig Johnson, the Honeydogs’ Noah Levy, Big Star’s Jody Stephens and the Replacements’ Chris Mars), never suffered from overproduction—or even much collective fame. Named after Fred Flintstone’s “Golden Smog” parody of Mel Tormé’s “Velvet Fog” nickname, the Smog has, however, rolled out songs so full of multi-tiered harmonies, gorgeous 12-string Rickenbacker chords (is there a sweeter sound in rock ‘n’ roll?) and good-humored looseness, you’ll feel compelled to sing along. “Until You Came Along,” “V,” “Pecan Pie,” “Looking Forward to Seeing You,” “To Call My Own” (with its “tit-tit-tit” nod to the Beatles’ “Girl”)—why these cuts couldn’t work in the guys’ respective bands is unclear,...
