--Tom Morello To Join Bruce Springsteen's Australian Tour

Tom Morello will soon be heading Down Under with the E Street Band.  Bruce Springsteen announced this week that the Rage Against the Machine guitarist will be filling in on guitar while the Boss and his legendary band make their way through Australia this spring.  Springsteen's usual axe man, Steven Van Zandt, isn't able to take part in the upcoming leg of the "Wrecking Ball" tour because of filming commitments to his Netflix series "Lilyhammer."  The Australian trek kicks off March 14th in Brisbane and is scheduled to run through the end of the month.  And while this will be Morello's longest stint with Springsteen, it won't be his first.  He played with him on NBC's "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon," at last year's South by Southwest festival, and the 25th annual Rock and Roll Hall of Fame celebration in 2010.  He also played on a pair of songs from Springsteen's latest album, "Wrecking Ball."


--Rolling Stones Rake In Over 38-Million With Five Concerts

The numbers are in on The Rolling Stones' recent "50 and Counting" shows.  Billboard.com says the group raked in 38-million-687-thousand-and-ten-dollars with their five sold out concerts in November and December, which averages out to more than seven-point-seven-million per show.  With each performance running approximately two-and-a-half-hours, that boils down to roughly three-million-dollars an hour.  And the 38-million-plus figure just accounts for ticket sales, not any revenue from the band's pay-per-view special.  Late last year the Stones marked their 50th anniversary on the stage, playing their first shows in five years.  They gave two shows in London in late November before heading to this side of the Atlantic for a concert at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.  The group wrapped up their run with two nights at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey -- the last of which was carried live on TV.


--Report: Strokes To Release New Album This Year

The Strokes will be back with something new in 2013.  Billboard.com reports the rockers are on track to release their follow-up to 2011's "Angles" sometime this year.  The intended lead single from the band's fifth studio set is titled "All the Time."  Seattle radio station 107.7 The End first broke the news with a post on its Facebook page.  They said they were listening to a "brand new Strokes" song called "All the Time" courtesy of RCA Records.  They told fans they'd have to "leak" it soon and promised them they would not be disappointed.  The Strokes themselves, meanwhile, have yet to offer any details about the new album or when it may hit stores.
