NewsFall Out Boy frontman to open New York barFall Out Boy frontman Pete Wentz has teamed up with members of Gym Class Heroes and The Academy Is... to open their own bar in New York City. Speaking to New York Magazine, Wentz revealed the motivation behind his endeavor is a response to the city's current celebrity nightlife scene. He said: "When I go to New York I always have to pick between crappy clubs and then call the promoter ahead of time and then still get hassled at the door and get stuffed into some cramped stupid VIP section and hear bad techno." The bar, which will be called Angels & Kings, is set to be the one the least pretentious places in the city, a place where Wentz and his pals can hang out. "Everyone I roll with is into Goonies," he said, "I want it to be like Shredder's hangout in 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2'." And its d?cor will include mugshots and Fall Out Boy-branded drinks specials. He revealed: "We have this awesome Sid Vicious mug shot where you can tell he's just like a fucked-up kid, like everyone had him pegged wrong. It speaks to me. We have a couple of Fall Out-based ideas for drinks. There's this song called 'Where Is Your Boy Tonight' so I was thinking we could have a 'Where Is Your Beer' special night." Angels & Kings is scheduled to open on April 30. Belong And Album Leaf Hit The Road Experimental fuzz rockers Belong will be hitting the road this May in support of their 2006 debut, October Language (Carpark). The band will be bringing their brand of dance-rock to the East Coast, kicking off in Tampa, Florida. Joining the band on the road is Sub Pop electronic outfit the Album Leaf. "The Album Leaf shows will be our first outside of New Orleans as a three-piece. When we toured last year with Ariel Pink, we toured as a two-piece because it was the most viable thing for us to do at that time," says Turk Dietrich, one-half of the duo, who tends to a mellotron with a midi controller on stage. "The show is much stronger with the additional instrumentation." In addition to the tour, Belong are set to release a limited-edition LP this summer and have just begun work on their second full-length. The band is aiming for an early 2008 release.
