AFI ROCK THE ROXY FOR CRASH LOVE RELEASE PARTY

Sam — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 22:46:21 +0000

To celebrate the release of their eighth studio album, Crash Love, AFI took to the stage at the world famous Roxy on Sunset thanks to local Los Angeles radio station KROQ. In front of an intimate crowd of hundred’s, rather than thousands that typically fill AFI shows, the band played a thrashing 14 song set filled with classics of the past, and a handful of Crash Love gems that are soon to be just that. Highlights of the night were too many to capsulize, but front man Davey Havok’s front flip into the waiting crowd on “Kill Caustic” and the stunning rendition of The Cure’s classic “Just Like Heaven” marked just a few of the moments that lit up the night. Reminiscent of 1995, AFI welcomed Nick 13 (Tiger Army) and Geoff Kresge (ex AFI/Tiger Army) to the stage to sing “Nyquil,” a track from the band’s first album, Answer That and Stay Fashionable. Electric performances of AFI’s radio singles “Miss Murder” and Crash Love’s “Medicate” put a cap on a night that will not soon be forgotten by the fan’s lucky enough to be present that night.

Fans of AFI who could not be at the show now have the chance to watch a handful of videos from the epic evening on KROQ.com. To find out when and where you can see AFI live, visit www.AFireInside.net/events. Crash Love is in-stores now and available everywhere good music is sold.

Katie Holmes shows off singing and dancing talents on US TV show

Sam — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 22:04:45 +0000

Actress Katie Holmes showed off her singing and dancing talents – and her shapely legs – as she put on a special guest performance on a US TV show.

The wife of Hollywood superstar Tom Cruise started her routine to Get Happy in a retro white outfit but soon slipped into a slinky black number on So You Think You Can Dance.

Katie treated the audience to some high kicking action before being lifted up in the air by her dapper male dancers in her Judy Garland tribute.

She also danced on top of a piano as she mimed along to her own vocals in a show-stopping performance.

The multi-talented star put on her dancing shoes to celebrate the hit show’s 100th episode and promote her charity Dizzy Feet Foundation, which she founded with SYTYCD judge Nigel Lythgoe and two choreographers.

Before her recently-recorded performance was screened, she told host Cat Deeley: “This is sort of a homage to Judy Garland, so I’m really excited about it.

“I like to sing and I like to dance, so this has been really fun.”

She said of her charity: “It’s to give these scholarships to young kids.

“I think it’s important to let kids experience music and dancing and singing and the arts, and also sports. This is the next generation.

“I think it’s very important to give them every opportunity to grow and discover what it is they like and to have access to the best.

“I really think that’s important in allowing really talented kids to get scholarships to great places.”

Lythgoe revealed generous Katie donated her appearance fee to the charity.

X Factor hype was bigger than Presidents inauguration, says Beyonc

Sam — Tue, 19 May 2009 16:33:48 +0000

Beyoncé has revealed there was more hype around her performance on The X Factor than when she performed at President Barack Obama’s inauguration.

The 27-year-old singer sung some of her tracks on the British talent show before performing a duet with contestant Alexandra Burke, who went on to win the show.

Talking about her performance on The X Factor, she said: “The day after I performed, I’ve literally never had so many people say they watched me. Every single person I met said: ‘I saw you on The X Factor.’ And I was like: ‘This is weird.’

She added: “Even appearing at the inauguration of our President wasn’t the same.”

Beyoncé also performed at this year’s Oscars ceremony but she said she was more nervous for her performance at Obama’s inauguration.

She said: “I have to say the inauguration was more nerve-wracking than the Oscars.”

She added: “I was nervous at the Oscars as well, especially all that choreography and all those songs squished into the five minutes, but you know it’s nothing like the inauguration.”

“That was just… mind-blowing… Everyone could feel it, it was something spiritual.”
