“Ch-Check It Out,” the first single from the Beastie Boys’ upcoming album “To the 5 Boroughs,” will be available for digital download April 28 via Apple’s iTunes Music Store, the same date it is delivered to U.S. radio outlets for airplay consideration. A video for the track was recently shot by group member Adam Yauch’s alter-ego Nathaniel Hornblower, best known for directing previous Beasties clips “So What’cha Want” and “Intergalactic.”
As previously reported, “To the 5 Boroughs” will be released this summer by Capitol. It’s the rap trio’s first new album since 1998’s “Hello Nasty.” A world tour is expected later this year.

New York rock act Interpol is hard at work on its sophomore Matador album. The as-yet-untitled set is being targeted for a September release and re-teams Interpol with producer Peter Katis, who was behind the boards for the group’s 2002 debut, “Turn on the Bright Lights.” Confirmed tracks recorded so far include “NARC” and “Length of Love.”
Interpol will tour in support of the new album but has no plans to play live “for the next several months,” according to its official Web site. For now, fans can enjoy an unsolicited remix of the last album’s “Untitled,” dubbed “Swimwear Remix,” available on the site.
In addition, the instrumental “Interlude,” which was only released on the Japanese edition of “Turn on the Bright Lights,” can be downloaded via Apple’s iTunes Music Store. Guitarist Daniel Kessler has also contributed a “celebrity playlist” to the store.

Phish will perform thirteen concerts this summer in two short legs – eight shows in June and another five in August. The June concerts kick off with a special two night run at Coney Island’s Keyspan Park in Brooklyn, NY, home of the Brooklyn Cyclones minor league baseball club, and also include a long overdue return to SPAC in Saratoga, NY as well as two-nighters at old favorites Deer Creek and Alpine Valley. In August, the band returns to Great Woods for two shows and to the Tweeter Center in Camden NJ for one night.
From there, the band is hard at work seeking necessary approvals to stage a festival in northern Vermont the weekend of August 14 & 15.

While Maynard James Keenan is on the road with A Perfect Circle, his Tool bandmates are hard at work on their next project.
The Who look to perform all over the world this summer, with dates rolling in from all corners of the globe.
The classic rockers are booked for the U.K.’s Isle of Wight Festival June 12. Come late July, they’ll be playing the Yokohama and Osaka Festivals in Japan, before heading downunder for a string of Australian arena gigs.
The band has not played in Australia in more than 35 years. During their 1968 tour with Small Faces, they were arrested after an airline pilot complained of misbehavior by the group and their entourage. Then-Prime Minister John Gorton asked the band not to return to the continent and the band promised they never would.
Time heals all wounds, evidently, and they’ll follow the Aussie stint with two California gigs – August 7 at Mountain View’s Shoreline Amphitheatre and August 9 at the Hollywood Bowl. No word yet on whether these dates are the beginning of a larger U.S. tour.
The band features original members Roger Daltrey (vocals) and Pete Townshend (guitar), along with Ringo Starr’s son Zak Starkey on drums. Pino Palladino played bass on the band’s 2002 tour, but it is unclear who will be filling the late John Entwistle’s shoes this summer.
