If you’ve been to STK over at The Cosmopolitan for dinner or drinks, chances are more than likely you’ve been listening to the beats of my buddy, DJ Roger Gangi. I always love when Roger puts together a new mix, and he doesn’t disappoint with his Holiday House 2011 made especially for the season and all the good peeps that work at the Vegas hot spot.

2011 Holiday House & Dubstep Mix (STK Las Vegas) -ROGERGANGI
Recently I had the pleasure of interviewing Ryan Bingham for his show this evening at the Silverton in Las Vegas. The interview was published this week in Vegas SEVEN and you can click HERE to read it. If you’re in Vegas tonight, you won’t want to miss this show, it’s going to be a rocking good time.
I had the opportunity to review the GROUPLOVE show in Las Vegas last week and it appears in the new issue of Vegas SEVEN. Check it out. Hope you like it and start listening to their music.
Last night GROUPLOVE rocked The Cosmopolitan with two sets at 10 p.m. and midnight. If you make your way down to The Strip tonight, head on over to Book & Stage and catch one or both of the sets.

Ok Vegas, here is your reminder so you can’t say “I didn’t know” and miss an incredible show. Tonight make your way to Book & Stage at The Cosmopolitan where GROUPLOVE will be performing at 10 p.m. and midnight. Fresh off the release of their debut album, Never Trust A Happy Song, this quintuplet is a band you’re going to want to say you saw way back when. These guys were my highlight of Lollapalooza, blowing me away more than their EP I had been listening to on repeat all summer. Not only do they have a great sound but their story is damn cool too. Check out what I wrote back in June for the skinny on the band.
So let’s recap, GROUPLOVE performing for FREE tonight (and tomorrow) at Book & Stage inside The Cosmopolitan at 10 p.m. and midnight. Got it? Good. See you there!
Here’s the set list from last night’s Foster The People show at The Cosmopolitan. Disregard “Warrant” and “Ruby” because unless I lost my hearing for a little bit, they ended up not playing them.
Any chance to see Bob Weir and Phil Lesh is a special treat and with Furthur rolling into Las Vegas, I was excited like a kid in a candy store. However the evening didn’t start off nearly as planned as it took no joke, 50 minutes to get into The Joint as the ticket/security line was not moving. After missing the first three songs (which included “China Cat Sunflower“and “Maggie’s Farm”) of set one, I made it inside. As expected, a festive crowd on hand and it was all song and dance for the next three hours. Highlights of the first set for me had to have been hearing “Welcome to the Dance” for the first time live and “Like A Rolling Stone” and “Casey Jones” back-to-back. Second set, easily “Viola Lee Blues”>”Midnight Hour”>”Viola Lee Blues”>”Why Don’t We Do It In The Road?”>”Viola Lee Blues” and a little later in the set “Scarlet Begonias”>”Fire On The Mountain” which was just icing on the cake for a great evening. I just hope I don’t have to wait another year to see the guys again.
Here is the official set list as well as fantastic images from good friend, Erik Kabik of Erik Kabik Photography.
Awww yeah, looking forward to an exciting night ahead as Furthur rolls into town for what will be a fun filled evening of music at The Joint inside the Hard Rock Hotel. After jamming Red Rocks in Colorado for three nights last week, we shall soon see what the fellas have up their sleeves for tonight’s shindig. It has been a little over a year since Furthur last graced the stage at The Joint and if it’s anything like that show, tonight should be another special one. Curtain goes up at 8 p.m.
All I could think while watching the online stream of Young The Giant performing at ACL was, damn I wish I was there. Wow, what a performance and crowd for the now it rockers. Big congrats to them for making it big and drawing an insanely huge crowd that now knows how much fun their live shows are. I’ve been lucky to see them in an intimate setting (Book & Stage at Cosmopolitan in Vegas) and a massive setting (main stage at Lollapalooza) and both have been solid, energetic shows. Now I just can’t wait until the next time I get to see them live.
If you missed the online stream, check out this video of YTG performing “My Body.”
It’s always a great day when you can see Ben Harper live and to catch a true rock ‘n’ roll show. Here are some photographs from the show over Labor Day Weekend at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas courtesy of Erik Kabik (www.erikkabik.com).
