Sometimes I’m against “Best Of” lists. Mostly because I never agree with them…so to remedy that - Team Roxy have created our own version of what we thought the highlights of ‘08 were. Scanning thru the ‘08 Roxy calendar - it was hard to narrow it down (which is a good thing)!
For the record - this started as a TOP 5…but some people *cough* Meg and Heath couldn’t make up their mind. Let us know what your favorite Roxy shows were! Thanks to everyone who contributed to making the year a success - from MYSPACE, to DIM MAK, and everyone in between. Viva 2009!
Sometimes it’s really hard for us to keep a secret. But for this particular event - we were under lock and key to NOT tell you that the lovely Jonas Brothers- (arguably the most popular band in the world) played a top secret private show here at The Roxy on Friday. It was a spectacular red carpet event for the launch of American Eagle’s new line, 77 kids. The GOOD news, the kind folks at 77kids have made the concert available for everyone to watch online - for ONE TIME ONLY today!! So head over to the site, and register to view the show.
It’s a pretty fabulous week here at The Roxy as we celebrate the 35th anniversary of the club! Through the years, we’ve opened our doors to the ordinary and the extraordinary. From legendary tours from Springsteen to the Jonas Brothers - comedy runs from Cheech and Chong to Russell Brand - and stage productions from Rocky Horror Picture Show to Hedwig and the Angry Inch - we’ve seen it all! Theirs to many bands and artists, crew members, team mates, and wise ones to thank - but know that we are so thankful for all the wonderful people who have graced our stage both in front and behind the curtain over the years. We all have so many epic stories and tales and are working hard everyday to create more memories. Feel free to talk about your favorite show, most amazing experience, or re-count those nights that you can’t - quite - remember - we are proud to admit, we have plenty of those too! Here’s to another 35!
Team Roxy was so excited to find out that our very own Russell Brand was named as host of MTV Video Music Awards 2008! He’s obviously one of the biggest rising stars and funniest guys around - and we’re excited for him to be slowly but surely conquering the states. His residency here was some hilarious stuff, and we can’t wait to see him on the oh-so-famous VMA’s (with some of our other favs, the Jo Bro’s)! We showed Russell nothing but love, and we are so excited that the Roxy shows are tagged as the ones that caught the attention of the MTV Powers. Congrats Russell! Here are few articles announcing his new gig!
