Against Me! frontman Tom Gabel has revealed plans to begin living as a woman. You can read it all here.
Gabel, who has dealt privately with gender dysphoria for years, will soon begin the process of transition, by taking hormones and undergoing electrolysis treatments.
Gabel will eventually take the name Laura Jane Grace, and will remain married to her wife Heather. ‘For me, the most terrifying thing about this was how she would accept the news,’ says Gabel. ‘But she’s been super-amazing and understanding.’
Halestorm have become the first female fronted rock band ever to take the No. 1 spot on the Active Rock airplay chart with their song “Love Bites (So Do I)” off their latest album ‘The Strange Case Of…’.
Justin Pivec was found not guilty of attempted murder in a 2010 attack on Madina Lake bassist Matthew Leone. Domestic violence charges against Pivec are still pending. Via Chicago Tribune:
Pivec was charged with attempted murder in the 2010 attack on Matthew Leone, 35, bassist for the rock band Madina Lake.
Prosecutors had said Pivec was choking his wife while he pinned her against a fence early on June 29, 2010, in the 1300 block of West Ohio Street.
A domestic battery case against Pivec in the attack against his wife is still pending, with a hearing set in Branch 60 of Cook County Domestic Violence Court on July 27, according to court records.
Pivec’s wife, who was on the ground, bloodied, yelled to Leone, who was leaving his brother’s nearby condo, to call police, Leone and police said after the incident.
Leone tried to intervene, was punched in the face by Pivec and fell to the ground, where Pivec kicked Leone in the head and face approximately 10 times, prosecutors had alleged.
The band made a statement on the ruling via their Facebook:
We’re utterly baffled and shocked to get a Not-Guilty verdict in the Justin Pivec attempted murder case. Admittedly we’re not well versed in the justice system but today a vicious coward was given a free pass for beating his wife and almost killing my brother. This has taken a tremendous toll on all of us for 2 years and though we’re devastated .. we will continue to focus on the positive, which is that Matthew is still with us and hopefully this has spread awareness for victims of domestic violence. More later as we attempt to comprehend this.
Beastie Boys‘ Adam Horovitz (Ad-Rock) has posted to the band’s blog reacting to the death of Adam Yauch (MCA). Read below:

i’m glad to know that all the love that Yauch has put out into the world is coming right back at him.
thank you.
