Thursday, June 21, 2007

Tickets on Sale Monday, March 26 at 10 a.m. PST

LOS ANGELES, CA (March 20, 2007) – With sell-out performances throughout North America and Europe, including shows at Dodger Stadium and Staples Center, The Police have now confirmed a third and final area concert June 21st at Honda Center.
Tickets for the June 21st performance will go on sale on Monday, March 26, at 10 a.m. PST. Tickets priced at $253.00 $98.00 & $53.00 will be available at all Ticketmaster locations (including all Ritmo Latino and Wherehouse Music locations), at http://www.ticketmaster.com/ and http://www.livenation.com/, or via charge by phone-- (213) 480-3232 • (714) 740-2000 • (805) 583-8700). Please note that the venue box office will not be open for the on sale. There will be a four (4) ticket limit per customer.
From their early beginnings, The Police were hailed as a maverick live band - a group that galvanized an already impressive studio sound into something otherworldly when performing. Combining controlled energy and evocative melodies, Sting, Stewart Copeland and Andy Summers played with the improvisational instincts of a jazz trio and the raw energy of a punk-rock band - a blend that made them one of the definitive rock groups of the 1970s and 1980s.
Special guest Fiction Plane will join The Police for the North American portion of the tour. Known for their high-energy live shows, this dynamic rock trio will be releasing their second album in May. Members of Fiction Plane include Joe Sumner (Bass), Seton Daunt (Guitar), Pete Wilhoit (Drums).
The North American tour is presented by Best Buy, the leading consumer electronics retailer with nearly 1,000 retail locations in the United States and Canada. Complete details of the Reward Zone program presale can be found at www.bestbuy.com/thepolice.
A portion of the proceeds from this tour will be donated to WaterAid, an international NGO founded in 1981 and dedicated to reducing poverty by improving access to safe water, sanitation, and hygiene education. For information, visit: http://www.wateraid.org/.
The Police World Tour is produced by The Next Adventure, A Live Nation Company, in association with RZO Entertainment, Inc.

Police Reunion?

2007-01-04T10:42:00.000-08:00

Police reunion rumors reaching fever pitch By Jonathan Cohen
Wed Jan 3, 5:48 PM ET

Rumors are swirling that the Police will reunite for 2007 dates in England and the United States, which would be the rock trio's first since disbanding in 1986.

Sources told Billboard.com the reports -- in the British press -- were legitimate, but they would not publicly comment until final details are nearer to completion.

This year marks the 30th anniversary of the release of "Roxanne," the single that broke the Police in the United States. In a statement issued last month, A&M Records said, "It is our intention to mark the anniversary by doing something special with the band's catalog of songs. Needless to say, everyone is hopeful the band will support our plans and while early discussions have taken place, nothing has been decided."

Sources say in addition to DVD releases, A&M is planning another multi-disc collection in the vein of 1993's "Message in a Box," which featured the band's complete studio recordings and a handful of rarities.

A Police reunion has been the concert industry's dream for two decades, as it is believed the band could play stadiums internationally should it choose to reunite. But besides an impromptu set at Sting's 1992 wedding to Trudie Styler, the Police's only other post-breakup performance was in celebration of its 2003 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

And while Sting has repeatedly expressed reluctance at reuniting, drummer Stewart Copeland and guitarist Andy Summers have kept the flame alive. This summer, Summers told Billboard he was certain the group could have continued past its 1983 commercial peak with "Synchronicity."

"The more rational approach would have been, 'OK, Sting, go make a solo record, and let's get back together in two or three years,"' he said. "I'm certain we could have done that. Of course we could have. We were definitely not in a creative dry space. We could have easily carried on, and we could probably still be there. That wasn't to be our fate. It went in another way. I regret we never paid it off with a last tour."

As their 25th anniversary approaches, Australian art-rock band The Church will be making a special stop at the Grove of Anaheim on Friday July 21. Best known for the shimmering Under the Milky Way, a Top 40 hit, The Church combines the jangling guitar pop of '60s icons like the Byrds with the opaque wordplay of frontman Steve Kilbey to create a lush, melancholy brand of neo-psychedelia rich in texture and melody. The Church have remained one of the world's most innovative and enigmatic groups justifying praises from the press including "Best guitar band on earth," "Sonic perfection," and "Sounds that caress the senses." Experience the unique sounds of The Church at the Grove of Anaheim on July 21.

The Cars Reform, With Rundgren - No Orange County date, yet.

2006-03-27T08:05:00.000-08:00

From Rolling Stone:

The Cars have returned -- well, the New Cars, now fronted by Todd Rundgren. Gathered with founding members Elliot Easton and Greg Hawkes to make the announcement at Los Angeles' House of Blues on Tuesday, Rundgren may have sounded deeper than enigmatic Cars frontman Ric Ocasek, but he had the look down, in glued-on dark shades and a sharply cut sports jacket.

The band -- with a lineup rounded out by Tubes drummer Prairie Prince and bassist Kasim Fulton -- revealed that it will release a compilation of covers of the Cars' greatest hits in May. The newly configured band will also hit the road with recently inducted Rock & Roll Hall of Famers Blondie, for the Road Rage Tour, set to kick off May 12th in Mississippi.

Formed in Boston in 1976 the Cars' original lineup had Ocasek on vocals, Elliot on lead guitar, Hawkes on synthesizer, Benjamin Orr on bass (he died in 2000) and David Robinson on drums. The New Wave act released seven albums before calling it quits in 1988.

Oh No! It's DEVO...2.0!

2006-03-02T01:04:00.000-08:00

This is quite possibly the most awesome thing in years. I may have to dye my hair purple in honor of the arrival of DEVO 2.0!

Q: DEVO + Disney = ?

A: DEV2.0
