When someone like Bryan Adams says “special guests,” you know it’s going to be huge. Because, he’s THAT cool. Aside from his amazing show on the Sunset Strip last night (3 encores!) - he played ALL the hits. Summer of ‘69 acoustic? Yes please. Cuts Like A Knife? Run To You? Heat of the Night? Check, Check and Check. The room was packed - it was rocking THEN out comes his special guests. BONNIE RAITT and KEITH URBAN!!! Words cannot explain what took place on the Roxy stage, check out this vid for a little taste! Now tell us, what was your favorite part?
Thanks to our new friend, Kate The Russian, for the awesome video. And our house photographer Erik Voake for the great pic!
If you’ve been watching VH1 or MTV, you’ve seen the hot new video from Adele for “Chasing Pavements”- her single is really taking off and we can’t wait to see it live. She’s part of that really great soul mix - Amy Winehouse-ish jazz that gets stuck in your head instantly. As expected, this Roxy show is sold out - so for all those that don’t have tickets make sure to check back as we post pics from the show later this week!
Now that we have started our own Flickr group, The Roxy Theatre, anyone can add their photos taken at The Roxy or On The Rox to share with the world. So far we have received over 1500 photos from over 100 members. At the beginning of each month we will post our favorites in our “Shots From The Top” post. Keep shooting and post often, thanks to all who contributed.
As a huge fan of the entire Wombats catalog and with a brand new EP (out last month) we can’t wait for The Wombats to hit town. On the heals of a sold out UK tour - they will be revved up and really know how to rock The Strip. Along with Pop Noir and Maryandi - who’s in? Tickets here and 310 278 9457.
As if Friday’s aren’t already a reason to celebrate, today is going to be that much more exciting - as we welcome the Legend that is DOLLY PARTON. We hate to brag, as we know it’s only a few of the luckiest folks that get to attend -but it’s been years and years since she’s been here, and now in celebration of her new record - we are happy she came back to us!
It hasn’t been long since the boys of Tokio Hotel came to visit…but we miss them! Lucky for us, their first ever US performance (at the Roxy of course) is well documented in their new youtube videos! It’s fun to relive the excitement - we cannot wait to have them back!
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’
