It’s already super cool that our homie Russell Brand is tagged as the host of this years Video Music Awards (check out his live comedy show here this Sunday!) - his residency couldn’t have been more fun, and he was such a cool guy to have around! Now, our OTHER killer residency o’ the summer (which concludes tonight!) TRV$DJ-AM is this year’s house band of the VMA’s. Add those, with a couple nominations for our Shwayze boys - and you’ve got quite the night.
Check out this snippet from the LA TIMES
The duo — a kind of beat-driven version of the revolving-door rock collective Camp Freddy that already has hosted such high-profile guest stars as Paul Wall and Warren G — will perform its third of three sold-out shows at West Hollywood’s Roxy Theatre tonight before going on to serve as house band for the MTV Video Music Awards on Sept. 7.
Ohhhh so many amazing things happening in the land of Shwayze, and we really wanted to give them a big congrats for currently being #4 on ITUNES TOP SONGS. All is good in the world when you are sandwiched between the hottest Jonas Brothers tracks! In addition, they have been nominated for TWO VMA’s (hosted by our dear friend Russell Brand) for Best Pop Video & Best Hip Hop Video- so please head over and vote vote vote for them. Congrats Boys!
Roxy played host on Wednesday to the “Road to The VMA’s” where 3 bands vied for a coveted pre-party slot at the festivities! All star judges The Game, Kat Von D, and Alkaline Trio joined in on the fun and told it how it was! Thanks to U-N-I, Hazelden, and The Ruse for rocking out! Check out the awesome pics courtesy of our good man, Erik Voake.
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!

Foxboro Hot Tubs at The Roxy, OMG! What an exciting show!! This band has caused quite a buzz on the web and we cannot wait to see them live! Because of the demand on this show, you can only purchase tickets in person at The Roxy box office the day of the show. Tickets will be $20 cash and there is a two ticket maximum per person and both people must be together in line to receive the tickets. Have no fear tho, because we are allowing you to lineup starting 8am on the day of the show. So once you are in line and get to the door, you will buy your tickets and immediately proceed into The Roxy. Get ready to strut your stuff on the Sunset Strip and make an event out of it! Meet some fans in line…share stories…and make some new friends. Have no doubt, you will find some internet fame as I will undoubtedly be blogging the line in true Roxy fashion. We know their fans are traveling from near and far for this show - and we can’t wait to see you all! Also, a friendly reminder - no recording devices of any kind, no cameras and/or cell phones will be allowed into the show! Continue reading ‘Foxboro Hot Tubs Live At The Roxy’

Now that we’re finally sobered up, we miss Coachella even more!! We hope anyone who braved the heat and dessert had an amazing time like we did! Whether you chilled by the pool for the weekend and popped in for Prince - or rocked the whole festival, let us know your highlights!! Mine: Brett Dennen, M.I.A, MGMT, Raconteurs, and Death Cab. Your turn.
It’s that time of year again……COACHEllA TIME! We’re a little spoiled here in So-Cal, because it is always a guarantee that the hottest festivals will pass thru town, but NOTHING is more anticipated than Coachella. As usual, the lineup is huge - who are you looking forward to seeing? Who are the bands that you think are ones NOT to be missed? Is rock taking over this year? The DJ scene? Or is Prince going take the cake? Let us know what you’re into. Continue reading ‘Coachella Coachella Coachella’
Today has been a really really great day! And as the girls and I start wrapping up our work, and get into party mode - we are a little sad! We don’t want this day to end. The energy in the office today was a little like summer vacation…we were a little giddy - everything about our day, and the band, and the crew has been the best EVER. We didn’t quite know what to expect - as we have a little language barrier going on - and we have been pleasantly surprised! The band is adorable - and from what they told us, the have loved being in sunny CA - even if just for a day or two. Now, we are sitting here listening to them sound check and they sound GREAT. Thanks to our neighbors who have been so patient with all the fans today - and our security who came out before the sun sets to make sure everyone was safe. We hope the international fans are having a legendary Roxy experience and they find us again one day on their travels back to the states! Continue reading ‘Roxy Says Sayonara To Tokio Hotel’
