Late-’70s Los Angeles punk outfit The Germs’ final performance with original frontman Darby Crash — recorded just four days before the singer’s suicide via heroin overdose — will be released on CD next month for the first time.

With its first U.S. tour in 18 years winding down, Public Image Ltd. stopped by ‘Late Night With Jimmy Fallon’ tonight for an on-air performance — and this web-only run-through of ‘Public Image.’

With the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival now two-thirds of the way through, we thought we’d prowl YouTube for some initial video highlights from the likes of Echo & The Bunnymen, The Specials, Public Image Ltd. and Faith No More.

After already scuttling its first-ever American tour once, Bad Lieutenant — featuring Bernard Sumner of New Order — is now ‘stuck in Manchester,’ blocked from getting to the U.S. for its stateside debut because smoke billowing out of an Icelandic volcano has closed the airspace over the U.K.

Bernard Sumner’s New Order spinoff Bad Lieutenant is one of the myriad bands set to play this weekend’s Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival — and the group today went ahead and announced (spoiler alert) its setlist for Saturday night’s performance.

Could it be? Could tonight’s ‘Dark Wave’ on Sirius XM’s 1st Wave feature a playlist completely devoid of the four songs — Public Image Ltd.’s ‘Rise,’ The Sisters of Mercy’s ‘Lucretia, My Reflection,’ Siouxise and the Banshees’ ‘Slowdive’ and The Mission UK’s ‘Wasteland’ — that have been played on each episode since we started tracking playlists in mid-February?

The rejiggered Public Image Ltd. made its first U.S. television appearance since 1992 last night with a performance of ‘Rise’ on ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ to promote its upcoming appearance at the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival and subsequent U.S. tour.
