A look at some of the DVDs, CDs and books hitting stores this week:
When it opened last May, Chocolate & Spice Bakery was lauded by many in the valley as the next great local sweets shop.
Badass Swede rocker chicks Crucified Barbara make their Vegas debut alongside hair metal hedonists Crashdiet at 8:30 p.m. Tuesday at Vinyl at the Hard Rock Hotel, 4455 Paradise Road. Tickets are $17; call 702-693-5000.
Basically, it was like “Hot Tub Time Machine” with a concert hall in place of a Jacuzzi.
NEW YORK — The chemistry is over: rock outfit My Chemical Romance has disbanded.
R&B hit maker Bruno Mars headlines the MGM Grand Garden arena on Aug. 3, with Fitz & the Tantrums. Tickets start at $39.50 and go on sale at 10 a.m. today at Ticketmaster outlets.
John McCauley’s voice sounds a lot like he looks: endearingly ragged, boozy and well-worn, like a favorite old T-shirt.
So, what exactly does the Metal Alliance Tour bring together?
It was 1983, and Joe Elliott finally had enough money to buy one of those portable video cameras that, at the time, was akin to lugging a Howitzer barrel on one’s shoulder.
It’s quite the weekend for that ’80s breed of rock affectionately known as “hair metal.” The Hard Rock’s Def Leppard run may get more attention, but today’s “Bob Rocks” concert at the Orleans Arena has strength in numbers.
The whole Bon Jovi band will be back around next month, but you don’t have to wait that long to hear Jon Bon Jovi sing “Oh, Pretty Woman.”
