Teengenerate Is Back, Baby!

Get this: apparently it's official. Teengenerate will be playing this summer's Dot Dash NYC fest! Yep, the undisputed kings of Japanese punk are reforming and, according to the NYC underground punk scene's new band booking champ, Tom Dash, will be there to fry our brains and jumpstart our bones at this year's Dot Dash, July 21-23 at the NorthSix in Brooklyn. They're headlining the Saturday show. The whole lineup this year is promising. Zero Boys are actually headlining one night, and the super-silly bible-thumpin' stompers, The Knights of the New Crusade will be there to save our rock 'n' roll souls.

Resuscitated Development

Woo hoo! It looks like Arrested Development might not be dead in the water after all (despite a season finale that felt very, well, final). This is the word from E! Online. Who knows? It just might be true: "Earlier this week, a friend here at E! interviewed Jason Bateman at a charity event with his good friend Ben Stiller. When asked the status of Arrested Development, he lit up like a banana stand: 'Actually, great. Supergreat. There is a heartbeat. There is no flatline. And there may be twins.' " Evidently, "there will be an announcement next week."
