Altitude has boarded as international sales agent an as-yet-untitled Led Zeppelin feature documentary, directed by Bernard MacMahon, best-known for “American Epic.” CAA will represent the U.S. rights. The film will be shopped at Cannes.
The release of the doc, now in post-production, will coincide with the band’s 50th anniversary. It traces the journeys of the four members through the music scene of the 1960s, their meeting in the summer of 1968, and culminates in 1970 when their second album knocks the Beatles off the top of the charts.
It includes new interviews with Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, and John Paul Jones, as well as rare archival interviews with the late John Bonham. It is the first time the band has participated in a documentary since it was formed.
The film features never-before-seen archive film and photographs, state-of-the-art audio transfers of the band’s music and the music of other artists who shaped their sound.

Hammer of the Docs? Led Zeppelin is getting the feature doc treatment from the team behind American Epic.
The as-yet-untitled film, which is currently in post-production, comes after the band’s fiftieth anniversary last year. The doc, directed by Bernard MacMahon, will launch in Cannes with CAA representing the U.S. rights and Altitude handling international sales.
The film will trace the journeys of the four members of the Stairway To Heaven rockers through the music scene of the 1960s and their meeting in the summer of 1968, culminating in 1970 when Led Zeppelin II, with “Whole Lotta Love,” knocked The Beatles off the top of the charts and launched the career of what would become the biggest band in the world.

Jack White knows which direction his obsessions with American folk, blues and country steered him as an artist. "When you get back to Howlin' Wolf, Charley Patton, Robert Johnson – it basically begins there, and that's the best it ever was and the best it's ever going to be," White declared Thursday night onstage at the Sundance Film Festival, following a preview of the ambitious six-hour American Epic documentary series for PBS.

Garbage has launched its own label, Stunvolume, to put out its first new album in seven years. The still-untitled set will come out this Spring via separate licensing deals worldwide including via Universal Music Group-owned Fontana in the U.S. The group had previously recorded for Interscope Records. The band, which includes Shirley Manson, Butch Vig, Duke Erikson and Steve Marker, is recording the set in Los Angeles, marking the first time the group has not recorded in Madison, Wis., where the foursome formed 16 years ago. In an interview in the December issue of British music magazine Mojo, Manson says the new...

Garbage have announced that they're eying a Spring 2012 release of their first full-length album in seven years. Shirley Manson, Steve Marker, Duke Erikson and Butch Vig have been recording out of Los Angeles -- as opposed to their hometown Madison, Wis. -- with engineer Billy Bush. The as-yet-untitled set will be mixed by Vig and Bush. "Years-worth of pent-up music came out in some bizarre ways- bleary cell phone memos became real songs, conversations turned into lyrics, and new computer gizmos inspired wicked tangents," said the members of Garbage in a statement. "We are making a record filled with the...

After months of action and hundreds of games, the NFL season comes down to its last game this Sunday (February 6) when the Pittsburgh Steelers square off against the Green Bay Packers in Super Bowl Xlv. The game, held at the massive state-of-the-art Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas, promises to be one of the most evenly-matched game in the history of the Super Bowl, but even if you don't like football, there's plenty to distract you, including the new eye-popping commercials, the musical guests (including Christina Aguilera before the game and the Black Eyed Peas at halftime) and the brand new episode of "Glee" that will follow the game. Be sure to stay tuned to MTV News for all the Super Bowl-related news this weekend, as it is as much a major entertainment event as it is a sports spectacle.
But for the hardcore devotees, it's all about the game. The...

"The cool thing is, we sent it to the people at Lambeau — I know one of the DJs, Malcolm, who does on-field [music] at Lambeau Field — and when they first got it, Chad and I went to the game, and they played it, like, 15 times during the game. We were just in heaven, and, like, I know I've done Green Day and the Pumpkins and Garbage and whatever, but now I can die a happy man. I've had a song played at Lambeau."

Producer — and lifelong Packers fan — is basking in team's Super Bowl run and the success of 'Go Pack Go!'

Butch Vig has been producing records for nearly 30 years now, some of which — Nirvana's Nevermind, the Smashing Pumpkins' Siamese Dream, Green Day's 21st Century Breakdown — you're probably familiar with. And while production has certainly brought him fame, it's by no means his first love. After all, he's been a Green Bay Packers fan for a lot longer than three decades.
"I grew up in Wisconsin, and every Sunday during football season, it was like time stopped. You could go downtown and rob a bank, because everybody was watching the Packers play," he laughed. "My dad was way into them, and funnily enough, my mom hated the Packers and loved the Vikings, so that was a dilemma. But I've always loved the Packers,...

If you've pumped your fist to a rock song in the past 25 years or so, you probably know the work of Butch Vig. The veteran producer and musician has been responsible for some of the most dynamic, memorable and important rock music of the past few generations, having sat behind the boards on at least three stone cold classics and getting his hands dirty for many more. Vig turns 55 years old today, which means he gets to have any flavor of ice cream he wants.
Vig (real name Bryan) got his start in Madison, Wisconsin where he attended college. His first brush with professional musicianship came when he began contributing soundtrack pieces to low-budget films. He was also a member of a number of bands, including combos with future Garbage bandmates Duke Erikson and Steve Marker. Two of those bands — Spooner and Fire Town — released albums and scored minor success in the indie world,...
