California metalcore band Avenged Sevenfold’s fifth studio album, Nightmare, is the first since the passing of drummer Jimmy “The Rev” Sullivan on December 28, 2009 from an accidental overdose at the age of 28. Manager Larry Jacobson said, “Fans around the world revel in the musical legacy he left them" of Sullivan, who reportedly wrote a lot of the music on the album. Dream Theater drummer Mike Portnoy performs on Nightmare, which was produced by Mike Elizondo.….

Last night, on a balmy summer evening in Brooklyn, Rufus Wainwright gave New Yorkers a magical musical experience as part of the “Celebrate Brooklyn” festivities.

Not about to let the heat get to him, Rufus took the stage in proper performance attire—light blue tuxedo pants and a crisp white oxford shirt complete with a waistcoat and corsage—and was met with wild cheers. He kicked off the set with “Beauty Mark” from his self-titled debut, an ode to his late mother, Canadian musician Kate McGarrigle, who passed away this past January.
