Puddle Of Mudd Rocks For Fire Victims

[Guest .::BeatFactory::.]

Puddle Of Mudd has added a benefit concert in San Diego to its current string of club dates in advance of its forthcoming Flawless/Geffen album, "Life on Display." The Nov. 15 show at San Diego rock club Soma will raise money for a Salvation Army fund created to help victims of the forest fires in Southern California. Tickets go on sale today (Nov. 7) via Ticketmaster's Web site and via traditional outlets tomorrow.

Puddle Of Mudd is scheduled to be on the road until a Nov. 21 show in Seattle. The group's latest single, "Away From Me," is at No. 6 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock Tracks chart. The cut appears on the much-delayed "Life on Display," due Nov. 25. The second effort from the hard rock act was originally expected early this year, but, as previously reported, the band spent far more time in the studio than anticipated.

"Life on Display" was recorded in Los Angeles, and features production work from John Kurzeg (Creed) and Michael Baskette (Stone Temple Pilots). It's the follow-up to 2001's "Come Clean," which peaked at No. 9 on The Billboard 200 and has sold 3.5 million copies in the U.S., according to Nielsen SoundScan.

Here are Puddle Of Mudd's remaining tour dates:

Nov. 8: Charleston, S.C. (Center Stage)

Nov. 9: Norfolk, Va. (NorVa)

Nov. 10: Philadelphia (Theater of the Living Arts)

Nov. 13: Phoenix (Celebrity Theater)

Nov. 14: Los Angeles (Avalon)

Nov. 15: San Diego (Soma)

Nov. 16: Las Vegas (The Joint)

Nov. 18: San Francisco (Avalon)

Nov. 20: Portland (Roseland Theater)

Nov. 21: Seattle (Moore Theater)

Hold on I'm confused here, Is that show to raise money or to make them poor people suffer even more than they already have in the past month or so?

To raise some moolah for the poor. Probably someone will give them some tickets to the concert, too

Grand Jury Indicts Hunter in Calif. Fire

SAN DIEGO - A federal grand jury Wednesday indicted a hunter who allegedly started the largest wildfire in California history.

Sergio Martinez, 34, was indicted on one count each of setting timber on fire and making a false statement to a federal officer. Each charge carries a maximum five years in prison.

The 2003 blaze, called the Cedar fire, killed 15 people, destroyed more than 2,000 homes and charred 273,000 acres from the mountains east of San Diego into the nation's seventh-largest city.
