The Mars Volta returns with a fresh dose of epic rock’n’roll on its third studio album, “Amputechture.” The eight-track set is due Aug. 22 via Universal and opens with the seven-minute “Vicarious Atonement,” the closest the group has ever come to a ballad.

The album then moves back to familiar expansive musical territory on the nearly 17-minute “Tetragrammaton,” and also features two other tracks that clock in past the 11-minute mark, “Meccamputechture” and “Day of the Baphomets.” The disc itself runs more than 76 minutes in length.

In addition to contributions from Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist John Frusciante, “Amputechture” also features Paul Hinojos’ first studio work with the Mars Volta since joining as a touring musician in 2005. Hinojos previously played with Mars Volta principals Cedric Bixler-Zavala and Omar Rodriguez-Lopez in At The Drive-In.

“Amputechture” is the follow-up to 2005’s “Frances the Mute,” which debuted at a career-best No. 4 on The Billboard 200 and has sold nearly 465,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

The Mars Volta will support the Red Hot Chili Peppers on its upcoming North American tour, which opens Aug. 11 in Portland, Ore.

Here is the track list for “Amputechture”:

“Vicarious Atonement”
“Tetragrammaton”
“Vermicide”
“Meccamputechture”
“Asilos Magdalena”
“Viscera Eyes”
“Day of the Baphomets”
“El Ciervo Vulnerado”

Billionaire Richard Branson rappelled from a helicopter at Toronto’s waterfront today to announce a rock festival for Canada’s most populous city this fall. The flamboyant British businessman, who is chairman of Virgin Group, said he’s bringing the Virgin Festival to Toronto’s Island Park on Sept. 9-10.

“Our roots are music,” Branson, dressed in a subdued black promotional T-shirt and blue jeans, told a news conference. “Fortunately, we spent a number of years in Britain practicing on the Brits before we came here.”

The Toronto event, which Branson hopes will attract 50,000 fans, will feature more than 40 acts, including Massive Attack, Flaming Lips and Gnarls Barkley, the Raconteurs, Phoenix, Wolfmother, the Dears, Alexisonfire, Sam Roberts Band and Zero 7.

The festival is the latest foray into the Canadian market for Branson, who launched his Virgin Mobile Canada last year. He said Virgin Mobile has some 250,000 subscribers now and he expects that to grow to 400,000 by the end of the year as the company opens sales kiosks across Canada.

A U.S. edition of the festival will be held Sept. 23 at the Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore, home of the Preakness Stakes. The Red Hot Chili Peppers will anchor the lineup, which will be announced in full on July 10.

Akron, Ohio-based rock duo the Black Keys will kick off a fall tour Sept. 6 in Seattle. A European run is sandwiched between two North American legs, which will find the group headlining its biggest venues in such cities as New York (the 2,100-capacity Nokia Theatre) and Philadelphia (the similarly sized Electric Factory).

Having just completed a six-date swing opening for Radiohead, the Black Keys will be touring in support of their fourth studio album, “Magic Potion,” due Sept. 12 as the first in a new deal with Nonesuch.

Whereas 2004’s “Rubber Factory” was named after the converted facility in downtown Akron where it was recorded, the new album was put to tape in drummer Patrick Carney’s home studio. There are plenty of showcases for the duo’s punchy riff-driven interplay, including “Your Touch,” “Give Your Heart Away” and “Modern Times.” But the group also delves into the slower side of the blues on “You’re the One” and the simmering “The Flame,” where frontman Dan Auerbach pleads, “This time I can’t go back / When a heart gets broken as many times / It’s easy to lose track.”

Here are the Black Keys’ tour dates:

Sept. 6: Seattle (Showbox)
Sept. 7: Portland, Ore. (Roseland Theatre)

Sept. 9: San Francisco (Fillmore)
Sept. 13: Los Angeles (Troubadour)
Sept. 14: Hollywood, Calif. (Avalon)
Sept. 15: San Diego (House of Blues)
Sept. 16: Tempe, Ariz. (Marquee Theatre)

Creedence Clearwater Revival founding members and Rock and Roll Hall of Famers Stu Cook and Doug “Cosmo” Clifford have announced summer and fall concerts to be performed by their band Creedence Clearwater Revisited. The two former members of the legendary group Creedence Clearwater Revival launched the Creedence Clearwater Revisited project to once again perform live Creedence Clearwater Revival hits – the touchstones of a generation. The 2006 summer and fall tour will take the group around the United States and Canada, highlighted by appearances at Milwaukee’s Summerfest, two nights at Detroit’s DTE Energy Music Amphitheater, both the Ventura and Los Angeles County Fairs and Woodstock, New Brunswick’s Classic Rock Festival.

Creedence Clearwater Revisited also includes lead singer/rhythm guitar player John Tristao (who initially rose to prominence as lead singer for the band People when their hit “I Love You” bulleted into the Top Ten), lead guitarist Tal Morris (whom Huey Lewis describes as “the quintessential Bay Area guitar prodigy”) and multi instrumentalist Steve Gunner. As Cook puts it, “Steve Gunner provides live all the overdubs that were on the records – keyboard, acoustic guitar, percussion, harmonica and he sings the high harmonies.”

Creedence Clearwater Revisited’s album “Recollection” (Hip-O/Universal Records) is on track for Platinum RIAA certification this fall.

Hollywood Reporter critic John Lappen described a Creedence Clearwater Revisited concert as “. an amazing list of hit after hit that was done serious justice by the players involved. The cheering crowd had big smiles and whoops of joy at hearing live some of the best American rock ever written and recorded.”

Esteemed indie rock trio Sleater-Kinney is going on an indefinite hiatus and has no plans for “future tours or recordings,” according to a statement released by its label, Sub Pop. The group will play five final shows this summer, culminating Aug. 4 at the Lollapalooza festival in Chicago.

“We feel lucky to have had the support of many wonderful people over the years,” the band said. “We want to thank everyone who has worked with us, written kind words about us, performed with us, and inspired us.”

But mostly we want to extend our gratitude to our amazing fans,” the statement continued. “You have been a part of our story from the beginning. We could not have made our music without your enthusiasm, passion, and loyalty. It is you who have made the entire journey worthwhile.”

After spending its entire career on Kill Rock Stars, the band’s lone release for Sub Pop, 2005’s “The Woods,” was regarded by many as the best of its career. The set debuted at No. 2 on Billboard’s Top Independent Albums chart and has sold 73,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

Guitarist/vocalist Corin Tucker previously told Billboard.com the group nearly split before it recorded “The Woods.” “It was very frustrating,” she said. “It was like, ‘Ugh, I don’t know if we’re going to make another record.’ It was definitely a weird, tenuous journey for this record. I think [album track] ‘Entertain’ is definitely the song that was great. We kind of clung to that song like, ‘Okay, we’ve written this one really great song and there’s got to be more in there somewhere’ but we all had to get there.”

Here are Sleater-Kinney’s tour dates:

July 29: Louisville (Mellwood Arts Center)
July 31: Philadelphia (Starlight Ballroom)
Aug. 1: Washington, D.C. (9:30 Club)
Aug. 2: New York (Webster Hall)
Aug. 4: Chicago (Grant Park; Lollapalooza)

Canadian rock outfit the Arcade Fire has 15 songs recorded for the follow-up to its 2004 breakthrough, “Funeral,” according to a post from Win Butler on the band’s Web site. “We have maybe 15 songs with little bits left to record and a few more we want to get to tape,” he wrote. “We are going to try and record a couple of songs in me and Regine [Chassagne]’s living room, because the drums sound so great in there.”

The group is also incorporating new instrumentation in the mix, including “a huge f*cking pipe organ” that will appear on two songs. In early July, violinist Owen Pallet, who records under the name Final Fantasy, will join the band at its Montreal studio.

Butler adds, “There is talk of recording a few songs with a full orchestra in Budapest. The next couple of weeks we will be pulling our hair out.” The group recently took time out from recording to attend one of Radiohead’s shows in Montreal and hit the town with bassist Colin Greenwood and guitarist Ed O’Brien.

The next disc from Garrett Dutton, better known as G. Love, will feature a long list of guest appearanceces from the likes of Jack Johnson and Ben Harper to Marc Broussard and Blackalicious.

Due Aug. 1 on Johnson’s Brushfire label, “G. Love’s Lemonade” also features Los Lobos’ David Hidalgo, Donovan Frankenreiter, Tristan Prettyman and keyboardist Steve Molitz from jamband Particle.

“Except for one song, it’s straight hip-hop grooves,” Dutton tells Billboard.com. Of the cameo-packed approach, he says, “It was something I did want to do, but it wasn’t supposed to happen now. It just happened out of the blue, so I just let it go.”

“G. Love’s Lemonade” features the latest in a long line of collaborations with Johnson. Remembering the first time he heard the Hawaiian singer/songwriter perform, Dutton says, “We went for a surf, and we went back to this little bungalow I was staying at in Topanga Canyon, and we were just trading songs, and he played a lot of songs that ended up being on his first record [‘Brushfire Fairytales’]. I was thinking, ‘There’s something going on here. This is the shit.'”

Dutton appeared on Johnson’s “Curious George” soundtrack last year, and Johnson returns the favor on the “Lemonade” track “Rainbow.” “We’re family,” says Dutton. The new album’s first single, “Hot Cooking,” can be downloaded from Apple’s iTunes Music Store. A video was recently shot by Emmett Malloy.

Guns N’ Roses frontman Axl Rose was arrested in Stockholm early this morning (June 27) after allegedly biting a security guard in the leg outside his hotel, police said.

Rose, who performed in the Swedish capital last night, was being held on suspicion of attacking and threatening the guard, as well as causing damage to the Berns Hotel where the alleged scuffle took place, police spokeswoman Towe Hagg said.

Hagg said Rose was intoxicated during the confrontation, which broke out around 8 a.m., and would face questioning after he sobers up. “He was deemed too intoxicated to be questioned right away,” she said. A prosecutor will then decide whether to press charges against him, Hagg said.

More than five months after his arrest, trend-setting KCRW (the eclectic community service radio station in Santa Monica) host Chris Douridas has been charged with drug possession, but faces no prosecution for an alleged sex crime.

Six years of music, a self-titled debut EP due out June 29, and a CD-release party set for the same date: Jounce is back at it again.

“Jounce,” due out at the end of the month, is a virtual showcase for Matt DeSteno, guitar; Danny Tamberelli, bass, whom you may remember as “Little Pete” from the cult-hit television show “The Adventures of Pete & Pete”; and Joe Ciarallo, drums. Longtime friends and collaborators Ryan Abribat (guitar) and Adam Gold (keyboards) added to the recording and will tour with the band. Marco Centola of Urban Nature Audio and Alan Silverman of Arf! Digital in New York mixed and mastered the EP, which was recorded throughout April 2006 in Syracuse, N.Y. “It was good for us to get out of town those weekends and get really focused in on everything, but at the same time we knew we had very limited time in the studio, so we kept moving fast. For Limerick 63 we literally did one take during our last hour in the studio, laying down ideas we weren’t even sure would make it on to the album,” says Tamberelli.

Eveready for celebration, Jounce will host a CD release party and kickoff to a summer tour at 10 p.m. Thursday, June 29th at Mexicali Blues, 1409 Queene Anne Road, Teaneck, N.J. Tickets are $10 at the door. 21+. The album will be self released by the band and available at cdbaby.com, iTunes, and jounce.org.

Conor Oberst has been working on the new Bright Eyes album in New York; Portland, Oregon; and his new home studio in Omaha, Nebraska, with a band that consists of Saddle Creek producer/multi-instrumentalist Mike Mogis and musician/arranger Nate Walcott. He said that he hopes to have all the recording finished by November, and that the album should be in stores by March or April.

“So far, the songs reflect all the things we’re into: The folky, storytelling aspect of the music, the psychedelic studio vibe and the rock we all grew up doing,” he said. “We have a lot of ideas. I write songs and Mike is great at setting up microphones to get specific sounds, and Nate is a great piano player and a great trumpet player, and he writes and arranges string parts, too. I bought a new house and we’re building the studio there, to finish the record. Mike and I have connecting houses, with the studio in between. It’s like a compound.”

Unlike last year’s double-barreled releases I’m Wide Awake, It’s Morning and Digital Ash in a Digital Urn, the new Bright Eyes LP is shaping up to be a single-disc affair, which will be preceded by an EP featuring “at least” one song from the new album. There’s also an all-star group of guest musicians lined up for the album, including Sleater-Kinney drummer Janet Weiss, fellow folkie M. Ward and My Morning Jacket frontman Jim James.

The Wu-Tang Clan, Flaming Lips, My Chemical Romance and Kings Of Leon have joined the bill for the eighth Voodoo Music Experience. The event will be held Oct. 28-29 in New Orleans’ City Park and will be headlined by the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Duran Duran.

“Despite the ongoing uncertainty in New Orleans, I feel it’s important for people to continue to invest in the rebirth of our city,” Voodoo producer Stephen Rehage tells Billboard.com. “Whatever small part we can play in that, we will continue to do and we’ll see in due course if it was the right decision. What I do know with no uncertainty is that New Orleans and its music culture is something worth nurturing back to its glory.”

Other acts confirmed to appear include Social Distortion, Broken Social Scene, Ozomatli, Secret Machines, Blue October, Brazilian Girls, Drive-By Truckers, the Rentals, Ferry Corsten, Jack’s Mannequin and Yerba Buena.

Last year’s Voodoo Music Experience was the first major musical event held in the Crescent City in the wake of Hurricane Katrina and boasted performances by Nine Inch Nails, Queens Of The Stone Age, Tiesto, the Bravery, the New York Dolls and Secret Machines, among others. A host of native New Orleans musicians also appeared, some of them playing in the city for the first time since Katrina struck.
