Welcome to the Week in Rock, where we round up all of the headlines posted on this site over the past week. This week featured posts about R.E.M., Pixies, The Replacements, The Suburbs, Siouxsie and Robert Smith, Martin Hannett, Nirvana, Peter Hook, New Model Army and more — plus our latest Auto Reverse mixtape.

Rewind: The 80s Festival is underway this weekend in the U.K., and the fest is webcasting some of the acts on its two-day lineup, including performances later today by The B-52s and Heaven 17. It’s not yet known which bands will be streamed on Sunday, but the second-day lineup does include ABC, Blancmange and more.

With the long-awaited reunion of The Replacements now less than 10 days away, we’ve now finally got official word of who’ll be joining Paul Westerberg and Tommy Stinson on stage at Riot Fest in Toronto: drummer Josh Freese and guitarist David Minehan, both of whom played with Westerberg on his early ’90s solo tours.

Peter Murphy’s been on the road since April with his “Mr. Moonlight Tour,” and when it came time to wrap it up Wednesday night in Sao Paulo, Brazil, the former Bauhaus leader had a treat for fans: He was joined by The Mission’s Wayne Hussey to perform T. Rex’s “Telegram Sam” and David Bowie’s “Ziggy Stardust.”

Over the past few weeks, the members of the Pixies — Black Francis, Joey Santiago, David Lovering and new bassist Kim Shattuck — have been treating fans to photos and video through a collection of new Twitter, Vine and Instagram accounts named “The Actual Pixies.”

Ministry today debuted the music video for “PermaWar,” the first single off the industrial-metal act’s forthcoming album From Beer to Eternity — which Al Jourgensen has announced will be the band’s last. The album is due out Sept. 10, and will also be available in a “mini-coffin” box set.
