Will.i.am is everywhere, at the same time?

Will.i.am is a talented artist, but can he be in two places at once? The Black Eyed Peas hip-hopper is scheduled to put in two post-concert appearances tonight at virtually the same time. The pair of cameos come in addition to the main event of the evening, performing with his bandmates and warming up 40,000 or so concertgoers at tonight’s sold-out U2 concert at Sam Boyd Stadium. Will.i.am, whose real name is William James Adams, Jr., is expected to stop ... Read more...

Imagine Dragons gets a Bite of the spotlight

The early slot at a music festival isn’t usually the best card for a band to draw. However, local pop-rockers Imagine Dragons weren’t complaining when they won the chance to perform at Bite of Las Vegas along with acts like Blue October and Train during a battle of the bands at the House of Blues. And good thing, as it turned out they’d get two slots in the spotlight. The annual event draws thousands, but only a handful of those ... Read more...

Tommy Rocker’s to be a paradise for Parrotheads

Thousands of avid Parrotheads (fans of Jimmy Buffett) had their dreams dashed this spring when Buffett announced he was not coming to Las Vegas for his annual October pilgrimage.

Internet chatter fueled speculation as to why he’d ... Read more...

What’s in a (band) name?

When we saw the Hard Rock’s band lineup for the weekend before Halloween, we almost thought they’d confused All Hallow’s Eve with April Fool’s Day. Booking a band named Taintstick any day is guaranteed to garner a few worthy snickers and snide comments. (We’re not sure what a taintstick is, but we’re pretty sure we don’t want to find out first hand.) But book them the day before a show featuring Swollen Members and you’ve got back-to-back shows at Wasted ... Read more...

Guilt trips lead to good tunes at Bunkhouse

It was 30 minutes after midnight on a Thursday night, and all I wanted to do was to be curled up in bed, maybe watching the episode of The Soup I had recorded. Instead, I found myself at the Bunkhouse, fighting the urge to yawn. Deep down, I was happy to be there, supporting my brother-in-law during his debut performance playing bass in the band Wall Street Vampire, but on the surface I was tired. It had been a long ...
