The scoop on Thom Yorke’s all-star solo band debut and Bif Naked’s fundraising efforts after the jump, but first!

All-American Rejects singer Tyson Ritter has been dealing with a knee infection.

The band was forced to bow out of three concerts because of Ritter’s health. (more…)

Bif Naked put on an awesome show Friday June 12th at The Ale House.  Last year she battled (and won) breast cancer, six weeks prior to going on the road she had a hysterectomy, but, no one in the crowd could tell.  She jumped, she screamed, she kicked some ass.  We are all so proud.

98.9 THE DRIVE welcomes Bif Naked to the Ale House in Kingston June 12th.  Keep listening for your chance to win more tickets.

In the meantime, I had a chance to interview her the day her album (The Promise) came out, May 5th.  It is probably one of my favourite interviews.  She spoke so candidly about her battle with breast cancer and what it took to make the new CD.  How many people would get up in the morning, go to chemo, then trot over to the recording studio and sing their heart out?  Bif Naked would and did.  She’s a true inspiration.  Have a listen:
