Hey bands: Covet wants you — before the Tattooed Millionaires http://www.bleedingneon.com/vegasinsight/2008/04/08/hey-bands-covet-wants-you-before-the-tattooed-millionaires/ Wed, 09 Apr 2008 02:12:50 +0000 http://www.vegasinsight.net/?p=176 Tattooed Millionaires
When you spend all your millions on tattoos, there is no money left for things like shirts.

Fancy yourself a rock star, do ya? It’s OK, so do the Tattooed Millionaires, who we’re pretty sure are tattooed but not millionaires. Still, the Los Angeles-based glam rock band — yes, we said “glam rock” — is performing at Rox (5285 Dean Martin Dr.) on Saturday, April 26, and Sarah B. Downey of the Covet agency is looking for a few good bands to join them.

Downey is holding an open call for potential opening bands, for what she expects to be a “showcase of the best Las Vegas has to offer.” If you think your band rates, contact Downey at 702-274-8884. Now. Go do it!

Buckethead delights crowd at secret performance in Las Vegas http://www.bleedingneon.com/vegasinsight/2008/02/10/buckethead-delights-crowd-at-secret-performance-in-las-vegas/ Mon, 11 Feb 2008 02:31:15 +0000 http://www.vegasinsight.net/?p=108

Buckethead, the lanky, white-masked, bucket-wearing virtuoso guitarist — who has performed with such artists as Les Claypool and Guns N’ Roses — used Rox Club (5285 Dean Martin Drive) as a warm-up venue for his current U.S. tour on Friday, Feb. 8.

Prior to starting his tour in Flagstaff, Ariz. on Saturday, the artist formerly known as Brian Carroll played to an invited crowd of about 140 people at the small, off-Strip rock club, taking the stage alone, surrounded only by his iPods, amplifiers and guitar pedals.

Despite a few technical glitches — including blowing the head of one of his amplifiers about three songs into the set — Buckethead ably rocked the enthusiastic crowd for about an hour. The audience included a number of Las Vegas musicians, journalists and diehard Buckethead fans.

We were on the scene to capture video and photos from the concert. Click here to check out the gallery from the show.
