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!

LIVE FROM THE ROXY
Arguably one of the coolest songs of the late 90’s, we cannot WAIT to hear Peaches live (amongst other songs) from Presidents of the United States of America. And we hear good things about the new album!
“They have delivered an inventive, uplifting and often brilliant rock & roll album. From the opening, celebratory blast of “Mixed Up SOB”—which embraces the spirit of the band’s 4 million-selling eponymous debut—to the warm, Shins-like lilt of “Loose Balloon,” the group commandeers your attention with fourteen contagious winners.”
Looks like our friends at Live Nation really brought us a great show! Come flashback to the 90’s with us…and maybe discover some new favorites!

A Year Ago The Chili Peppers Played The RoxyDespite all the competition that’s around it and new clubs that are constantly popping up, the Roxy has continued to be a major player in the LA rock club scene.
It was just a year ago yesterday that the Red Hot Chili Peppers played a rockin show at the classic venue - and not only was LAist there, but we gave out a dozen free tickets to lucky wieners. Keeping the hope alive, the Roxy was home to another legendary group just a few weeks ago when the Sex Pistols played there.
And then on Friday, the B-52’s will hit the small stage on the Sunset Strip, proving that the Roxy still has it and it ain’t going nowhere. But for now let’s just harken back to a year ago when Flea, Anthony, John and that other guy brought it all back home.

Best known for her work as lead singer and bassist in the ’80s and early-’90s alternative rock trio Concrete Blonde, Johnette Napolitano is also a poet, social activist, soundtrack composer, and sculptor. Born in Hollywood on September 22, 1957, Napolitano lurked on the fringes of the Los Angeles punk and new wave scene, working at the legendary Gold Star Studios until she formed the duo Dream 6 with guitarist Jim Mankey. The pair recorded a self-titled 1982 EP produced by Jim’s brother Earle Mankey (like Jim, a former member of the first lineup of Sparks, and at the time one of the hottest producers on the L.A. new wave scene), which attracted the attention of IRS Records boss Miles Copeland. With a new drummer in Chicago transplant Harry Rushakoff and a new name supposedly bestowed by R.E.M.’s Michael Stipe that was supposed to connote the band’s mix of hard and soft elements, Concrete Blonde released their self-titled debut in 1987. This was quickly followed by Free, Bloodletting (featuring the group’s biggest hit, “Joey”), Walking in London, and Mexican Moon, before Concrete Blonde split in 1995. Napolitano then moved on to two short-lived projects, Vowel Movement (a collaboration with Holly Beth Vincent of Holly & the Italians) and Pretty & Twisted (with the late Marc Moreland, formerly of Wall of Voodoo), as well as occasional Concrete Blonde reunion albums. Following this, Napolitano began a second career as soundtrack composer for small and medium-budget indie films such as Wicker Park and Underworld. She also released a pair of largely improvised and mostly electronic albums, Sketchbook and Sketchbook 2, in 2002 and 2006. Johnette Napolitano’s first proper solo album, Scarred, followed in the spring of 2007. - Stewart Mason, All Music Guide
