This Morning In New Music

Mid 90’s alternative rock band Hole have been added to the never ending revival of bands…or bands that only contain one original member a la Smashing Pumpkins. Courtney Love, along with three new members will be playing their first show next month at London’s Shepherd’s Bush Empire. Love spoke with spin.com about why she revived the band. “I don’t function well without a real band,” she said [ed note. Does she function at all?]. [SPIN]

Chili Peppers bassist Flea has revealed his own line of bass guitars for starving musicians. According to NME, Flea created the new gear because of the lack of quality instruments being used at the Silverlake Conservatory of Music, which he co-founded in 2001. [NME]
