So Soundwave announced a bunch more bands to play their 2013 festival but it was of little use to those of us without a ticket.

Hands Like Houses have announced an Australian Summer Tour which will kick off on November 30 and see them arrive at Bang on December 1, just in time for summer’s commencement. Ground Dweller was released earlier this year via Shock /Rise Records.
Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong has let rip onstage at Vegas’ I Heart Radio Festival and then promptly checked himself into rehab for substance abuse which is all super convenient ‘cause their new album dropped the day prior. WOOOO!
