Notes

BY SARAH TOMLINSON
TAPEHEADS

Cave In have made good on their threat to revive the cassingle: during their month-long tour in late November, they’ll be selling a cassette-only release featuring the songs "Shape Shifter" and "Dead Already," which they recorded last summer with Converge drummer Ben Koller. "The fidelity you’ll hear is somewhat an ode to the first Bad Brains album — fast and crude," says singer/guitarist Stephen Brodsky. The tour wraps December 23 at the Middle East.

There’s a void in winter-holiday-themed albums, and Guster’s ADAM GARDNER aims to fix it. "A Hanukkah album of fresh songs," he says, "is long overdue." With the Zambonis’ Dave Schneider, Gardner formed the LeeVees, whose debut release, Hanukkah Rocks (Sire), includes songs like "Goyim Friends" and "Jewish Girls (At the Matzoh Ball)." They’ll open for the Barenaked Ladies Holiday Tour, December 27 at the Paradise . . . Old-school Boston punks UNNATURAL AXE never got a chance to play their own neighborhood back in the day, but they’ll do so for the first time ever this Saturday during Dorchester Open Studios. In conjunction with a screening of guitarist Tom White’s Axe documentary You'll Pay for This at the Emerald Isle, the band will follow the film with a set sure to include "No Surfing in Dorchester Bay" . . . The DUCKY BOYS never expected to make it to their 10-year anniversary. "When we started, we never even anticipated playing in front of people," says singer Mark Lind. But the band, who just found out they have four songs on the new X-Box videogame Amped 3 Snowboarding, will be taping their anniversary show Saturday at T.T.’s for a DVD . . . The DRESDEN DOLLS have recorded a cover of the Psychedelic Furs’ "Pretty in Pink" for the compilation album High School Reunion: A Tribute to Those Great Films of the ’80s (American Laundromat Records). Due next month, the disc will also feature covers by Kristin Hersh and FRANK BLACK. While plans for a Pixies comeback album get sorted out, Black is finishing the sequel to his 2005 solo album Honeycomb in Nashville. Producer John Tiven has said that some of the songs touch on Black’s early days in Massachusetts . . . The BRETT ROSENBERG PROBLEM have disbanded, but Rosenberg unveils a new sound Friday at the Abbey Lounge. He’s been recording with David Minehan at Wooly Mammoth Studios; the results, which he describes as "sort of Sarah-Borges-meets-Big-Black," can be heard at http://www.myspace.com/brettrosenberg.
