Peter Murphy will head Down Under early next year for his first-ever tour of Australia — as either a solo artist or as a member of Bauhaus — but not before completing a few more one-off shows in the U.S., including his $500-a-ticket “Halloween Miracula” concert in Los Angeles and newly announced dates in San Diego and Miami.

The Stone Roses reunion will roll into 2013 as the band this week confirmed it will join the five-date, traveling Future Music Festival in Australia next March, performing concerts in Brisbane, Perth, Sydney and Melbourne along with The Prodigy, Dizzee Rascal, Bloc Party and, uh, that “Gangnam Style” guy.

Another great piece of video from Seattle’s KEXP this week: This time it’s a half-hour set from Dinosaur Jr recorded at the Doug Fir Lounge in Portland, Ore., on Sept. 8 during MusicfestNW. As you can see from the setlist, the trio blasts its way through five classic tracks, culminating in a run through Green Mind opener “The Wagon.”

During the Bumbershoot music festival in Seattle this past Labor Day weekend, hometown heroes Mudhoney stopped by KEXP’s “music lounge” at the Eve Alvord Theater to pound through a glorious 9-song, 30-minute set that the radio station has kindly posted in full on YouTube.

As they near the end of their summer run of European festivals, The Cure tonight plays the U.K.’s venerable Reading Festival — exactly 33 years to the day since Robert Smith and Co. last played the festival. To mark the occasion, we present this vintage tape of The Cure’s 1979 set at Reading.

The Dead Milkmen recently announced a pair of October shows — a festival appearance in upstate New York followed by a Halloween bash in their hometown of Philadelphia — and revealed that the band is studio-bound to work on new music, perhaps a follow-up to 2011’s ‘The King In Yellow,’ the band’s first album in 15 years.
