Just wrapping up the North American tour, the group is off to Australia to open five shows for Pearl Jam. February 8th - 23rd.

50 Cent
New Hip-Hop artist 50 Cent is gaining a strong audience. The 1999 "Power Of The Dollar" which was never released by Trackmasters led the artist to the Aftermath/Shady Records deal. Where have you heard him before. The newest soundtrack release from "8 Mile" features 50 Cent's "Wanksta". 2003 emerging artist 50 Cent's new release "Get Rich or Die Tryin'" (Aftermath/Shady Records) will be released on Feb. 11th.

Zwan
Garnering a strong interest in entertainment circles is Zwan. With strong stage presence Zwan which started out before Burke's (Corgan) pumpkins, has been revived through Billy Corgan. Claiming he would re-unite one day with fellow bandmates to get a project going. Corgan lives up to his word, and the end result is Zwan. With fellow rockers Matt Sweeney, Paz Lenchantin, David Pajo, and Jimmy Chamberlain, Zwan gives glam-rock a shot in the arm. Somewhere between progressive power-pop, and psychedelic grunge this multi-talented group is going places.
