SINGER/SONGWRITER FILES SUIT AGAINST MARRIOTT HOTEL CORPORATION AFTER BEING ASSAULTED, ARRESTED, AND JAILED FOR \x26#8220;TRESPASSING\x26#8221; IN HIS OWN HOTEL ROOM \x3cbr/\x3e\x3cbr/\x3e According to a recent lawsuit filed in Tulare County California, Tim Jones\x26#8212;one of the four singers/songwriters of the musical group TRUTH \x26amp; SALVAGE COMPANY\x26#8212;was shaken awake and ripped from his bed by hotel security and local police while sleeping at the Marriott Hotel in Visalia, CA. Jones, a Marriott rewards member and a registered guest staying the night at the Visalia Marriott in February 2010, was handcuffed, assaulted, taken to jail and cited for trespassing and resisting arrest in his own hotel room after performing at a concert earlier in the evening. In the wake of the assault and imprisonment, Jones filed suit against Marriott Hotel Corporation on four counts, including negligence, negligent supervision, assault and battery. \x3cbr/\x3e\x3cbr/\x3e Ironically, Marriott Hotel\x26#8217;s slogan is, \x26#8220;Your home away from home.\x26#8221; Tim Jones learned the hard way that Marriott\x26#8217;s slogan is nothing more than that, simply a slogan. Instead of spending the night in his hotel room, the singer/songwriter was forced to spend the night in a Visalia jail cell. Jones was finally released at noon the following day. \x3cbr/\x3e\x3cbr/\x3e Following the incident Jones said, \x26#8220;I was shocked by the break-in and arrest. I kept telling them that I was a registered guest but they acted as if they couldn\x26#8217;t hear a word I was saying.\x26#8221; \x3cbr/\x3e\x3cbr/\x3e One month after the incident, Jones was set to be arraigned in the Tulare County Superior Court. Legal representatives of the band arrived at the courthouse to answer for Jones, only to find that the District Attorney\x26#8217;s office had not filed any charges against Jones. To date, charges have not been filed and Visalia Police have refused to release the police incident report to the Los Angeles based Jordan Law Group, PLC; the Truth and Salvage legal team. Attorney Vahe Jordan was quoted as saying \x26#8220;We\u2019re hopeful that Marriott will accept responsibility for the way they treated Jones, who has been a loyal customer for many years.\x26#8221; \x3cbr/\x3e\x3cbr/\x3e Marriott experienced a public relations nightmare last year that spread in blogs, stemming from the legal position their Stamford, Connecticut franchisee attorneys took when a woman brought suit citing security shortcomings after being raped in the presence of her two children while in a parking structure located at the Stamford Marriott Hotel and Spa. Court documents filed by the Marriott franchisee attorneys last year state the victim \x26#8220;failed to exercise due care for her own safety and the safety of her children and proper use of her senses and facilities.\x26#8221; The defense was viewed by many as blaming the victim. Marriott later dropped that defense. \x3cbr/\x3e\x3cbr/\x3e As for Jones, he did not have any outstanding warrants; he wasn\x26#8217;t suspected of, nor accused of, any crime prior to being violated by Marriott Security staff and the Visalia Police. He later received medical treatment for injuries sustained during the arrest. \x3cbr/\x3e\x3cbr/\x3e Currently, Tim Jones and his band Truth \x26amp; Salvage Co. are touring the United States in support of their self-titled debut album (Megaforce Records/Silver Arrow Records) which was released in May of this year and was produced by Chris Robinson of The Black Crowes.

The brand\x26#8217;s 17th Music Tour will bring three of the hardest hitting metal bands in the world to one stage and will feature complete performances of Slayer\x26#8217;s much lauded Seasons In The Abyss album from 1990, Megadeth\x26#8217;s landmark 1990 album Rust In Peace, and the return of Anthrax\x26#8217;s singer Joey Belladonna. The tour kicks off September 24 and will play 20 venues across the nation. \x3cbr/\x3e\x3cbr/\x3e \x26#8220;I\x26#8217;ve been working with Jagermeister since 2004 to try to make the first Jagermeister Music Tour Trifecta happen,\x26#8221; said guitarist Kerry King of Slayer. \x26#8220;I always have such a killer time on the Jagermeister Music Tour, and this time we\x26#8217;re coming through with Megadeth and Anthrax so you know everyone will be on the top of their game for these shows.\x26#8221; Megadeth\x26#8217;s Dave Mustaine adds, \x26#8220;It is a rush to finally be a part of the Jagermeister Music Tour!\x26#8221; \x3cbr/\x3e\x3cbr/\x3e \x26#8220;Slayer has been a long time friend and supporter of the brand,\x26#8221; says Bill Henderson, Senior Vice President Marketing and Advertising at Sidney Frank Importing Company, Inc. \x26#8220;Jagermeister has been sponsoring them since 2001 and named them as headliner of both the 2003 and 2004 Fall Music Tours. It is great to work with them again and know that adding Megadeth and Anthrax to the program will make this a tour to remember.\x26#8221; \x3cbr/\x3e\x3cbr/\x3e In the beginning, when there were no blueprints, no set paths, no boundaries or steps to follow, SLAYER assaulted the world with its new hybrid of metal and punk. Heavier, faster and darker than the rest, Slayer - guitarists Kerry King and Jeff Hanneman, vocalist/bassist Tom Araya, and drummer Dave Lombardo - set the new standard that all others continue to follow. And that has continued through to 2010. Revolver, SPIN and Metal Hammer have all named Slayer \x26#8220;Best Live Band.\x26#8221; Esquire presented them with an Esky Award. They\x26#8217;ve got two Grammys, a Kerrang! Hall of Fame Award and multiple Revolver Readers\x26#8217; Poll Awards. For this fall\x26#8217;s Jagermeister Music Tour, Slayer\x26#8217;s Tom Araya promises \x26#8220;no ballads, no acoustic numbers, no slow tempos.\x26#8221; \x3cbr/\x3e\x3cbr/\x3e For the past two decades, Megadeth\x26#8217;s storied career, including more than 20-million worldwide sales and eight Grammy nods, has not only set standards in hard rock and metal, but defined them. Megadeth\x26#8217;s signature shredding and rousing lyrics have drawn fans in since the band\x26#8217;s beginnings, and are the very things that keep them interested, excited, and of course, head-banging, at every turn. Founding vocalist/guitarist Dave Mustaine, a NY Times best selling author who was the recipient of the first annual Golden God Award at the inaugural Revolver Golden God Awards in 2009, is renowned for his ability to use the vehicle of music to shake things up, to make a point and to rattle your brain, literally, figuratively and sonically, which he did with 2009\x26#8217;s ENDGAME, which received some of the highest critical accolades of the band\x26#8217;s already impressive career. The band\x26#8217;s fourth album, Rust In Peace, saw the band cement their status as one of the most important metal bands with masterpieces like \x26#8220;Hanger 18\x26#8221; and \x26#8220;Holy Wars\x26#8230;The Punishment Due.\x26#8221; \x3cbr/\x3e\x3cbr/\x3e With worldwide sales in excess of 10-million, Anthrax, who along with Metallica, Slayer and Megadeth, is credited with originating the thrash genre, is about to celebrate its 29th year as a band, and continues to be one of metal\x26#8217;s all-time great acts. Over the band\x26#8217;s career, Anthrax has received multiple Gold and Platinum albums, multiple Grammy nominations, and a host of other accolades from the press, industry and fans. Earlier this year, Anthrax announced that vocalist Joey Belladonna, an essential part of Anthrax\x26#8217;s lineup from 1985 to 1992, was rejoining the band, and has taken his place onstage this summer as Anthrax has joined Metallica, Slayer and Megadeth - The Big Four founding members of Thrash - as co-headliners of a series of Sonisphere Festivals in seven European cities. Plans are for the \x26#8220;classic era\x26#8221; Anthrax to write and record a new album for a 2011 release. \x3cbr/\x3e\x3cbr/\x3e The Jagermeister Fall Music Tour will feature Jagermeister custom prizes from tour sponsors Schecter Guitars and Peavey Electronics.

In \u201cJohnny Woebegone\u201d Nobacon sings, \u201cGangsters, G-men, raptors and ghosts, sharpening their various claws, arms trade profiteers, government yes-men, a war tailor made for double agents.\u201d While in \u201cEvolution 9\u201d he describes Woebegone as a broken man, singing \u201cTo H.G. Wells, who once wrote, when the lights were going out all over Europe, that human history is a race between education and the catastrophe that embraces us now. \x3cbr/\x3e\x3cbr/\x3e Nobacon\u2019s union with The Bad Things came out of a co-bill after he moved to Washington and played a show at the Northwest Folklife Festival. James \u201cJimmy The Pickpocket\u201d Berg, leader of The Bad Things knew Nobacon\u2019s music long before most of his peers \u2013 while hitchhiking in Europe as a teen, one band kept coming to his attention: Nobacon\u2019s collective, Chumbawamba. He was thrilled to share a bill and introduce himself \u2013 gigs together lead into musical collaboration, the resulting Woebegone takes traditional music into a Wagnerian punk realm. \x3cbr/\x3e\x3cbr/\x3e Nobacon\u2019s work with Chumbawamba is now legendary: after their worldwide hit \u201cTubthumper\u201d was released in 1997, they used their new pop fame to spread their anarchic beliefs in interviews and appearances. Danbert became known for dumping a bucket of ice water over John Prescott, the British deputy prime minister, at an awards ceremony, in London, in 1998, to protest the Blair government\u2019s treatment of striking dockworkers. When booked on David Letterman, Chumbawamba turned one of their choruses into \u201cFree Mumia Abu Jamal\u201d and sparred with Barbara Walters during prime time. \x3cbr/\x3e\x3cbr/\x3e In 2007, he released The Library Book of the World, produced by Jon Langford (backed by his Pine Valley Cosmonauts). Time Out New York\u2019s Scott Schinder called it \u201cramshackle agit-punk and folk that merges humanist outrage, absurdist humor and pirate swagger.\u201d \x3cbr/\x3e\x3cbr/\x3e Nobacon hits the trifecta this fall with a new album, book and American tour to share his futurist punk rock roots music. He sings, \u201cI\u2019m the story that oils all of our twisted lives, and now I\u2019m cursed to repeat it.\u201d This is an apt refrain for his coming plans. \x3cbr/\x3e\x3cbr/\x3e Listen to \x26#8220;Other Country Blues\x26#8221; and \x26#8220;Lilithiana Red\x26#8221; at \x3ca href=\x22http://www.myspace.com/danbertnobacon\x22\x3ehttp://www.myspace.com/danbertnobacon\x3c/a\x3e \x3cbr/\x3e\x3cbr/\x3e Shows and Readings \x3cbr/\x3e\x3cbr/\x3e Sept 16 Twisp River Pub (Reading with Alex Cox) Twisp, WA\x3cbr/\x3e Sept 24 Crowning Glory (Reading) Los Angeles, CA\x3cbr/\x3e Sept 25 Skylight Books (Reading with Alex Cox) Los Angeles, CA\x3cbr/\x3e Sept 28 Books, Inc.

It was a song we took on tour with us for most of 2009, changing it\x26#8217;s shape over and over again. Finally, influenced by a mind-bending night out we had dancing and listening to music after a show in Barcelona, it finally found it\x26#8217;s final (and best) form in early 2010. We did this shorter edit of the song after the album was finished, and probably for the first time in rock and roll history, I have to admit that I prefer the edit.\x26#8221; \x3cbr/\x3e\x3cbr/\x3e As fervent Pantha Du Prince fans and both fans and friends of Phantogram, Ben was particularly excited for the remixes, praising White Sea\x26#8217;s remix as \x26#8220;the real stunner here\x26#8230;White Sea is a brand new project from Morgan Kibby, who you probably know as the star of the last M83 album \x26#8216;Saturdays=Youth\x26#8217;.
