BadBones -- Casino Aztar presents Loverboy
Posted Thursday, May 15, at 7:09 AM
CASINO AZTAR PRESENTS '80s ROCK SENSATION LOVERBOY
Multi-Platinum Group to perform at the Outdoor Amphitheater on May 24. Legendary '80s rock band Loverboy will take the stage at 7 p.m. on Saturday, May 24, at the Casino Aztar Outdoor Amphitheater. Well known for hits such as "Working For the Weekend," "Lovin' Every Minute of It," "Jump," "Turn Me Loose," and }Heaven In Your Eye" -- a 1986 release written for the movie Top Gun -- Loverboy continues to remain one of the most popular bands of the '80s. "Eighties rock never seems to die," said Lisa McMahan, marketing manager. "That is one reason we are so thrilled to bring Loverboy to Casino Aztar. Anyone who grew up in that decade or listens to music from that time, would find it hard to deny knowing at least some of the hits Loverboy holds to their credit." Launching their career in 1980, Loverboy released a self-titled debut album which sold more than two million copies in the U.S. and more than four million worldwide. They are the only Canadian group to ever receive a record-setting six Juno Awards, Canada 's highest award for a music artist or group. After the success of their debut album, Loverboy went on to release 10 additional albums from 1981 through 2001, all of which have garnered widespread attention in the United States and internationally. The band's popularity has earned them four multi-platinum, one gold and many international gold albums. While the group has experienced years of success on the rock & roll charts and in album sales, the current focus of the band has remained on touring and entertaining fans with their live show. "Loverboy's performance will be our first outdoor concert in the amphitheater for 2008," said McMahan. "It will be an exciting, high-energy concert that we invite everyone, 21 years of age and up, to attend." Limited quantities of complimentary tickets for the Loverboy concert are available at select merchants or by visiting your local Chamber of Commerce.

BadBones -- Local band spotlight I thought it might be nice to start a local band spotlight for all our readers to find out what bands are out there in our area. I'm kicking this weeks featured artist with a band out of Cape. They are one of the hardest working bands out there and they deserve the recognition that they deserve. See this band has just been added to a line up of outstanding bands at a major concert event in Texas...
BadBones -- 3 Doors Down in PB Every time I hear someone say they wished their favorite band would come to our area I think to myself, "Why?" You will not go buy a ticket if they did! See, 3 Doors Down is coming to Poplar Bluff and that is a major band that is going to be in our local area. The bad part of this is that if this show does not do well then it may close the doors to future bands that would like to play in our area...
BadBones - Campaign songs Right now politicians are running all over the country selling themselves to the American people. All of them have some sort of music for when they enter and exit the stage that they stand upon. So do you think that it would matter what song was played by our next president? If you say no, are you sure about that?...
BadBones: Getting attention Back in the 80's it was all about flyers. If there was a storefront that would allow you to post a flyer on their door, It was there. I am glad that storeowners still feel the same way about helping out local shows. But I also remember how every lamppost on the strip would be decorated with multi-colored paper announcing some type of show or event. ...
BadBones: Merry Christmas and Happy New Year As we head into the holidays with friends and loved ones, we sometimes forget that we have to look out for one another as well. A lot of times we go out and try and have a good time by listening to music at a local bar. There are also the times when we decide that we are having such a good time that we ' realize that we've had too much to drink and we keep on drinking. And that is where responsibility comes in...
BadBones: Singing Christmas carols I live out in the country and there is not a lot of Trick or Treaters that come around my house during Halloween, nor is there much traffic or many people walking the streets. I don't know how many of you get a chance to do something for others and I don't know if the Spirit of Christmas is with us anymore. See, I was just wondering how many people grab their family and friends, make a list, print them out and then actually go out to sing Christmas Carol's?...
BadBones: The cost of music... Hello everyone, I'm getting ready to head out for another night of singing, as I do every weekend, and I got to thinking about what price I pay to be a musician and DJ. See , my first thought tonight was "I hope my vocals hold out," and then was the dreaded thought of having to stop by the gas station to get "Gas, Gum, & Water"...
BadBones: Masters of Music I set here thinking about the top musicians in our area and how it is judged. How is it that we pick the best musician in our area? Do we look at it as money made? Maybe we look at it by fame? Most likely we look at him by the hits he has, right? But does that really tell the whole truth about musicians or are we blind enough to look over the fact that we do not know the background of these musicians, nor do we know the accomplishments that they have had to over come to get to where they are now.. ...
Bad Bones: Meet The Bones Meet The Bones Let me fill you in on who I am and what I am trying to accomplish. For those of you who do not know who I am, I am the administrator of an Internet forum called The Bone Yard. They call me BadBones. The Bone Yard is a place that welcomes bands of all generations to post information about what the bands are doing and where they will be playing. It also lets everyone chat about shows they have seen as well as links to more websites that offer local music information...
