the band perry

In light of the December 14 shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Connecticut, a number of country music radio stations have taken a second look at certain songs that receive regular airplay. Two songs by the Band Perry have been temporarily removed from many playlists due to concerns from listeners and program directors.

It took a late surge of votes on Taste of Country Nights radio to give Thompson Square a third straight Showdown win on Monday. The duo's new song 'If I Didn't Have You' squeaked by Kelly Clarkson's new single 'Don't Rush,' but the path to the Hall of Fame won't be any easier on Tuesday.

The Band Perry will appear on this weekend's season opener of 'Extreme RVs' on the Travel Channel. During the episode, viewers will get an exclusive look into the sibling trio's home away from home -- their tour bus-- which not only provides them a home on wheels, but also a mobile recording studio.

The Band Perry are riding high these days. They showed America why they are one of the fastest rising groups in country music. Their latest song is definitely helping their star shine even brighter.

It's no secret lots of freebies are handed out backstage at any awards show. Maui Jim Sunglasses returned to the CMA Awards to give your favorite stars a chance to pick out their favorite pair. We recently chatted with Maui Jim to ask them why stars from Little Big Town to Scotty McCreery have been trying on these cool shades.

Kimberly Perry took a break from hosting ABC's 'CMA Music Festival: Country's Night to Rock' to join brothers Neil and Reid onstage as the Band Perry shocked the LP Field audience with a spirited version of 'Fat Bottomed Girls' by the classic rock band Queen. Neil Perry sang lead after Kimberly took the crowd through their hit 'Postcard From Paris.'
