British invasion: Singer Matt Goss leaves fame at home for a shot at Vegas
The Palms is preparing for a British invasion. Well, just one Englishman, actually. Matt Goss’ chiseled face is currently plastered on billboards and signage around the Palms, and the Brit is gearing up to begin his residency at the resort—a first for the property. A relatively unknown name this side of the pond, many people aren’t aware that the singer/songwriter has already sold million of albums as one-third of British boy-band Bros alongside his twin brother Luke and bandmate Craig ...

Green Day marries old and new at Mandalay Bay
Green Day may be 22 years old but that doesn’t mean the band has grown up. And just because they have eight studio albums, three Grammy Awards and a handful of number one hits doesn’t mean they follow the rules, either. “Las Vegas! Get off your fucking asses!” Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong instructed just moments after he stepped onto the stage on Friday. “Stand up! Stand up!” “This is not a fucking slot machine, this is a fucking ... Read more...

Kings of Leon bring the best of times to The Joint, almost
Kings of Leon’s fans love to dress in plaid and they love to drink. Oh, and they love Kings of Leon, too. These are three of the lessons learned from last night’s concert at The Joint. There was a higher-than-usual amount of concertgoers wearing plaid last night — men especially. Yes, checkered patterns are back in style and therefore commonplace in trendy spots across the city – in the Arts District and at hipster hotspots like Beauty Bar especially – ... Read more...

Phil Anselmo: mellow metal dude?
When I saw Pantera at the Thomas & Mack Center in 2001, frontman Phil Anselmo seemed determined to terrorize the audience. At one point, after admonishing everyone to get on their feet, he told the crowd to kick the ass of anyone left sitting down, and he didn’t sound like he was joking. For years Anselmo carried a reputation for his hard living, drug addictions (he nearly died of a heroin overdose in 1996) and volatile personality. But the murder ... Read more...

Storytelling: Atmosphere raps about life, just not his own
“The progress stops and pauses/spits and sputters like the basement faucet. And it’s obvious he’s lost in his regrets./You can smell it on his breath.” Rapper Sean “Slug” Daley – half of indie-rap group Atmosphere – says “Painting,” about a man’s battle alcoholism is one of his favorite tracks off 2008 album “When Life Gives You Lemons, You Paint That Shit Gold.” That doesn’t mean the tale of alcohol abuse and desperation is about him, however. While Daley’s lyrics can ... Read more...

6 hours of Stevie, a Wonder-full tribute indeed
The schedule for the afternoon DJ set is the first indication that this is no ordinary poolside party. It starts with a question-and-answer session with the two DJs, New York-based Spinna and Bobbito. Then, at 2 p.m. the performance begins at the Palazzo’s Azure pool. At 8 p.m. it’s over, and in between it’s six hours straight of music, all of it from Stevie Wonder. WONDER-Full, a DJ tribute to Stevie Wonder was created in 1999 on New York City’s ... Read more...

Redneck and proud: Gretchen Wilson
Gretchen Wilson is quite the redneck woman. The scrappy country singer showcased her back-country roots on Saturday night at the Star of the Desert Arena. “Do we have any rednecks in the house tonight!?” she asked the audience in Primm before launching into her hit, “Redneck Woman.” A thunderous, raucous response was precisely the answer she wanted to hear and it’s exactly what she got. A giant inflatable figure accompanied the lowbrow anthem, erected at the back of the stage ... Read more...

10 things you missed if you weren’t at Underworld Thursday night
10. Even though the Joint wasn’t full (another example of a non-mainstream touring act falling victim to a half-packed house), the core group of attendees were completely into the performance and the vibe was perfect. 9. A close inspection of Hyde’s nasal cavity thanks to a handheld camera he aimed at his face. (Think the portion of Blue Man Group when a blue man aims a scope down an unsuspecting audience member’s throat.) 7. Wacky-Waving-Inflatable-Arm-Flailing-Tube Man!! 8. Rick Smith and ... Read more...

For Usher, there’s no place like Palms
Usher says the Palms is his “second home,” and last night the R&B singer had a few hundred guests over to his second living room for a little cocktail party. VEGAS Magazine (a Greenspun Media Group sister publication of the Las Vegas Weekly) co-hosted the get-together, which was held in Usher’s honor at Playboy Club. The singer is cover model of the magazine’s current, men’s issue. Since the Palms is what Usher refers to as his “home-away-from-home,” the venue was ... Read more...

Pay to be played: Local bands can donate for radio airtime
Katy Perry sings, “Come on and put your money where your mouth is,” in her song “Waking up in Vegas” and today local bands should listen to her advice.

Playing themselves: Country duo Third Town leaves impersonating to go original
Local band Third Town is a little bit of country, a little bit of rock ’n’ roll and a little bit reality TV, too. Dual lead singers Jeff Fairchild and Tony Mosti perform a mix of original tunes and covers like “Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy” or Blues Brothers classics, and the duo gained national attention last year after becoming finalists in the Nashville Star competition which piped them into millions of homes. Before their turn on the small ... Read more...

A night with the bootylicious Beyoncé
There may have been no encore at the Encore Theater last night, but the crowd didn’t seem to mind. Beyoncé Knowles sang, danced and otherwise proved her bootylicious self, leaving little to be desired. The performance was the last of the 27-year-old sensation’s “I am… Yours” North American tour. Knowles had to rework her entire live show for the tour’s final four performances in the Wynn’s intimate, 1,500-seat Encore Theater. “She’s really looking forward to the intimacy of this,” Knowles’ ...

The pants, they aren’t a-changin’
Mötley Crüe has endured many changes over the years. Some changes were good, some changes were not. Vince Neil reflected on the changes last and concluded that one thing that has stayed the same is the fans. There is another thing that has stayed the same that he failed to mention: his pants. Specifically, his tight, faded jeans with the lace-up crotch. The bottoms are so offensive they should be criminal. If Metro had a style division, the fashion police ... Read more...

Vince Neil has hectic homecoming weekend
Mötley Crüe frontman Vince Neil had a hectic homecoming this weekend. The hard-rocking multi-band assault on the senses otherwise known as Crüe Fest 2 rolled through Las Vegas and brought with it over a dozen tour buses carrying dozens more thirsty musicians who were ready to party. But Las Vegas is also Neil’s home. Home sweet home, even. The city is home to his namesake tattoo parlor at O’Sheas, Vince Neil Ink, and his new “rock bar and grill,” Feelgoods, ... Read more...
