Weezer come to Phoenix January 15!

Live Nation and FM 103.9 present

WEEZER

FRIday, JANUARY 15

 (Phoenix, AZ) – Rocks most loveable outsiders, Weezer, bring their alt-rock to Dodge  Theatre January 15 at 8:00 p.m. in support of the bands November 3 release Raditude.

With its rollicking communal spirit Raditude upends any expectations audiences may have of Weezer, amplifying their trademarks to a dizzying degree – the pop hooks dig deeper, the rock hits so hard it bruises – but the group subverts these signatures with a sly hand while pushing boldly into new territory. Within these 10 songs lie boundless possibilities and ceaseless excitement, proof that Weezer remains a band that defies easy summations and can never be taken for granted, a band who has grown as they’ve opened their horizons. 

Raditude caps off a remarkable decade that saw Weezer reassert its position as one of the biggest, best rock bands in the world while also seeing their influence echo through a generation who absorbed the sound and feel of the group’s two classic ‘90s albums. Weezer emerged on the music scene in 1994 with their self-titled double-platinum debut album, dubbed The Blue Album featuring such era-defining hits as “Undone—The Sweater Song” and “Buddy Holly”.  The bands much-awaited sophomore album Pinkerton (1996) — “El Scorcho”, “The Good Life”, and “Pink Triangle”— went gold in record sales and has been a steady seller since.

Weezer refused to ride on those past glories when they returned in 2001 with The Green Album, sounding vigorous on the hits “Hash Pipe” and “Island in the Sun.” The hard, heavy Maladroit, featuring “Dope Nose” and “Keep Fishin’,” followed in 2002. Three years later, Weezer released Make Believe in 2005, an album highlighted by “Beverly Hills,” their first single to climb into the Top Ten of the Billboard Hot 100. The Red Album arrived in 2008 along with the single “Pork and Beans” whose YouTube-satirizing video won Weezer their first Grammy.

LISA LAMPANELLI

 

SATURDAY, AUGUST 15, 2009 – 8:00 P.M.

 

Phoenix, AZ (June 5, 2009) – Lisa Lampanelli, dubbed by The New York Times as Comedy’s “Lovable Queen of Mean,” will bring her tough-talking, no-holds-barred comedy to Dodge Theatre on Saturday, August 15. The show will begin at 8:00 pm.

 

Hailed as a cross between Don Rickles, Archie Bunker, and a vial of estrogen, Lisa Lampanelli masterfully delivers her outrageous, uproarious and completely politically incorrect comedy yet again. 

  

Lisa Lampanelli’s ability to make people laugh at their own stereotypes and differences has made her one of the hottest comedians in America.  A regular on Comedy Central’s Roasts, her show-stopping performance on the “Comedy Central Roast of Pamela Anderson” in 2005 received national attention.  She has also appeared on the Roasts of Jeff Foxworthy, closed the “Comedy Central Roast of William Shatner”, and drew headlines for her appearance on the “Comedy Central Roast of Flavor Flav.”

 

Her one-hour special “Dirty Girl” was nominated for a GRAMMY Award in 2007.  It aired on Comedy Central on January 28, 2007 and was a hit for the network yet again.  Her “Dirty Girl” CD and DVD was released by Warner Bros./Jack Records on January 30, 2007 and debuted at #4 on the comedy charts.

 

As one of the few white comedians to perform on BET’s “Comic View,” Lisa has cemented her huge crossover appeal. Lisa can be seen in the hugely popular films, “Larry the Cable Guy: Health Inspector” and “The Aristocrats”. She can also be seen in the Lionsgate release “Delta Farce” starring Bill Engvall, Larry the Cable Guy and D.J. Qualls and in the feature film “Drillbit Taylor,” opposite Owen Wilson.

JUDAS PRIEST Aug 7 Dodge Theatre

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE      

Live Nation and 93.3 KDKB are proud to present

 

JUDAS PRIEST

with special guest

WHITESNAKE

FRIDAY, AUGUST 7

 

The Judas Priest tour with special guest Whitesnake will be a perfect fit inside the Dodge Theatre as it erupts with excitement from this incredible double bill. The tour will make its stop at Dodge Theatre on Friday, August 7. Tickets go on sale Saturday, May 16 at 10am.

 

Priest will be celebrating the ‘30th Anniversary’ of the classic album ‘British Steel’ (it was originally issued in April 1980), by performing the album in its entirety for the very first time ever live on stage! In addition they will be playing some old favorites.

 

Judas Priest - singer Rob Halford, guitarists Glenn Tipton and K.K. Downing, bassist Ian Hill, and drummer Scott Travis - remain as popular as ever to this day, confirmed once and for all upon the release of 2008’s ‘Nostradamus,’ which became their highest-ever charting album in the U.S. Two years earlier, the group was the inaugural inductees into the ‘VH1 Rock Honors.’

 

“The opportunity to perform live on stage in its entirety the whole of ‘BRITISH STEEL’ is a dream come true for all of us! We’re really excited and looking forward to presenting the album live on stage - fans will be able to enjoy a taste of true heavy metal when it was in its early, raw state!” said the group in a statement. “Plus, we will of course be throwing in a few other Priest classics!”

 

Along with Priest, Whitesnake is certainly one of the most instantly identifiable names in all of hard rock. Premier rock vocalist, David Coverdale along with Reb Beach, Timothy Drury, Uriah Duffy and Chris Frazier are exciting to bring Whitesnake back on tour in the US after far too long an absence.

 

Whitesnake is one of the most enduring & successful hard rock acts ever. The ever growing list of their multi-platinum albums & awards is long & enviable. In 2005, Priest and Whitesnake toured together (in Mexico and South America), resulting in such a well-received and great package that since then, both groups have been planning to work together again. This summer, U.S. fans will finally get their wish.

 

TICKETS ON-SALE SATURDAY, MAY 16 AT 10 A.M.
