Last Sunday, we were honored to be part of a benefit in honor of one of the members, of one of the most beloved bands ever. Carl Wilson of The Beach Boys will always hold a special place in so many peoples hearts - that we couldn’t have been happier to hold The Carl Wilson Foundation Benefit Concert. So many world class musicians in the house - it was obvious that 10 years after his passing - his spirit is strong. Check out the great article and pictures by Scott Schultz.

The Carl Wilson Foundation honored the passing of former Beach Boy Carl Wilson with a memorial concert at The Roxy on Sunday evening. The show, which was headlined by Brian Wilson and Dick Dale, benefited The Carl Wilson foundation which whose mission is to contribute to finding a cure for cancer. The tribute began with a beautiful documentary on the man whose falsetto voice was often considered the soul of the Beach Boys and was followed by some of California’s favorite all time surf and beach bands from the ’60s.

We’re pretty stoked Millionaires are coming to rock next week - and we hear you are too. So to help you do it up in style - we’ve created a little contest! It’s been a while, and we miss seeing all your pretty faces. This contest is quite simple - it’s no secret that the Millionaires have killer style (check out their myspace for some hints) - think hats, bling, neon, gold teeth, etc. All you have to do, is take a picture of yourself alone or with some pals - rocking the Millionaires style. In return, we’ll reward you with a pair of tickets, a round of drinks, and some VIP treatment. Got it? Submission deadline is 10/21/08!
