Enrique Iglesias, DJ Havanna Brown And Pitbull Do Sydney, Australia, by Eva Rinaldi - 23rd July 2011

Megastar, Enrique Iglesias, along with DJ Havanna Brown And Pitbull did Acer Arena tonight in Sydney and the fans were not disappointed.

Enrique was the headline act but rapper Pitbull and "DJ" also have their fair share of supporters.

The Euphoria Tour sees Australian fans witness Enrique perform all of his biggest hits including the most recent smash hit singles from the EUPHORIA album. In Australia, the three singles released from EUPHORIA have sold in the region of 500,000 copies: “I Like It” (Triple Platinum) “Heartbeat” (Double Platinum) and “Tonight” (Double Platinum) with the latest “Dirty Dancer” just released.

Enrique and Pitbull also worked together on the remix of “I Like It” and Enrique is wrapt to have him joining the Australian tour. Enrique said “Man, working with Pitbull, it’s like he’s got everybody in the world’s mojo, his energy is so intense....”

Pitbull, most recently known in Australia for his current #3 single “Give Me Everything” and featuring on the Jennifer Lopez #1 selling single “On The Floor”, will also perform a set full of back to back hits and fans may see him join Enrique on stage to perform the hit “I Like It”.

For over a decade Enrique Iglesias’ Latin-flavoured pop has captured the hearts of music fans the world over, selling over 55 million albums in both English and Spanish.  Australia is one of his hottest markets.

Romantic minded people will be interested to learn that Enrique Iglesias was unpopular with girls when he was a teenager. The heartthrob pop star - who has been in a relationship with former tennis player Anna Kournikova for almost 10 years - didn't have much success with the opposite sex when he was growing up, but as soon as got famous lots of ladies were interested in dating him.

He said: "I was the king of heartbroken as a teenager. I was never the heartbreaker. I just couldn't get laid. Years later, lots of the girls that rejected me came back just because I was famous. It is actually kind of sad."

Enrique advised it isn't difficult to attract women when you become a celebrity, and thinks lots of girls are interested in having "fun" with a famous guy.

Enrique plays Brisbane next on the 25th to what is expected to be yet another sellout.

If you are familiar with Anrique you know how great he is, and if not, you need to get to a concert or buy the CD to see what you have been missing out on.

In a hundred years time the world will still be raving about Enrique, but he's in Australia now so what are you waiting for.

RADIO INK SET TO ‘ROCKET’ WITH NEW SINGLE AND EP ‘ROCKET’ RELEASED ON 5 AUGUST 2011

MEDIA RELEASE                                                                                                                   22 July 2011

Radio INK are living proof that good things do come out of 5am Myspace exchanges! When DJs Dic Money and Ronny Clark saw Miss S singing in a nightclub, they knew they’d found their ‘princess of the dance floor’. Cue several Myspace chats and, boom, a new Australian electro-pop sensation was born – Radio INK.

Rocket is the Sydney trio’s brand new single – the first off their debut EP which will be released on Friday 5 August. Following the hugely successful release of three independent singles, Wish U Were Here, Give Me What U Got and Physical, Rocket is a hook-driven, dance-pop crossover smash.

Written by Radio INK, Rocket was produced by New York-based Diamond Cut (Rich Sanford). The accompanying video was shot in a non-air conditioned basement during Sydney’s record-breaking heat wave. Under the creative guidance of well-known indie film director James Demitri, Rocket: The Video is an alien-inspired clip which includes an extended short film ‘space odyssey’ version for Radio INK’s YouTube channel.

 “For fans of Sneaky Sound System, The Presets and all other electro-pop sensations stemming from down under, rejoice! You’ve got a new name to add to your playlists.” MuuMuse 2010 (The Hype Machine)

Radio INK’s debut EP – Rocket - includes White Flags, Heartbreaker, Number 1 and extended remixes of Rocket from fellow dance-floor favourites including Moonchild [Sydney, Aust.], Bit Funk [Chicago, USA], Koobra [Helsinki, Finland], Punches [Brooklyn, USA] and Neon Workout [Sweden].

Together since 2009, the band’s debut single which was released the same year, Wish U Were Here, received support from the national Hot30 Countdown, Take 40 Australia, Video Hits and Rage. The band was chosen to star in Vodafone’s Blackberry national TV campaign with MTV’s Ruby Rose to launch their second single, Give Me What U Got (later chosen as the 2010 NA2R winner by Commercial Radio Australia).

Radio INK’s third single, Physical, was the #1 Most Added Track to radio across Australia in December 2010. The single spent six weeks in the Top 10 Independent Charts and seven weeks in the iTunes Dance Chart. Physical received national airplay on Nova, Today and MIX FM networks while the video aired heavily on Video Hits, MTV and Rage.

In March 2011, Radio INK performed to Australian and international troops in Afghanistan.

Antonio Tarver overpowers Danny Green to claim title

Photo Eva Rinaldi

ANTONIO Tarver may have ended Rocky's on-screen career and last night he ruined the dream of Danny Green, capturing the Australian's IBO world cruiserweight title in a stunning upset.


Trying to defend his belt for a fifth time, Green was beaten by the American veteran in a TKO at the Sydney Entertainment Centre.


The Green camp had no choice but to end the fight after the Perth-born 38-year-old headed back to the wrong corner at the conclusion of the ninth round, which left the Australian wobbly after 15 unanswered blows by Tarver.

Danny Green confident of boxing victory against Antonio Tarver tonight, by Eva Rinaldi - 20th July 2011

A reved up and confident Danny Green aka "The Green Machine" is poised to take the fight to Antonio Tarver in their world title boxing match tonight, with Green's team stating the celebrated American boxer can't handle their man's raw power.

Three-division champ Green, 38, (record: 31-3, 27 KOs) is the favourite to successfully defend his IBO cruiserweight title against 4-time light heavyweight world champion Tarver, 42, (record: 28-6, 19 KOs) in their bout at the famous Sydney Entertainment Centre.

Green advised a victory this evening would be just as big for him as his victory over another American megastar, Roy Jones Jr, who Tarver has also kicked booty on.

"This fight is the most important of my career. Internationally, there is a lot of people taking notice of this fight," Green said.

The dominant light heavyweight of the last decade, Tarver thinks he can unify the cruiserweight division. But the bookies - SP's and the wagering folks don't agree. The word is that Traver's height advantage won't help him enough.

Tarver's camp have suggested Green has used illegal substances in his gloves!

Tarver's 84-year-old trainer Jimmy Williams has referred to Green's style as primitive and one-dimensional, and is looking for the champ to take the fight to him.

"We are ready for him to come out there and try and take us out in the first round. We are prepared for that, but we are going to burst his bubble," Williams said.

Tarver is thinking Green will be hyped up as he believes that will only work in his favour.

 "I want him fired up. I want him coming in there dog mad, because he can't fight me being mad," Tarver said. "He's going to have to be cool and calm under fire. His aggressiveness is going to get him knocked out, trust me."

Green's trainer Angelo Hyder said its important to keep his fighter calm. "I think the thing is to try and keep him relaxed because he really wants to knock Tarver's head off," he said.

Tarver said: "It's sexy, man. I like it," Tarver said of preparing to fight on foreign soil.

"The pressure is on him. He's got to perform in front of all his fans in his home country. All I got to do is get in there and do what I do and that's win.

"I'm bringing the speed. I'm bringing the power. I'm bringing the focus and the determination. I'm ready."

"Basically, all those punches are not going to be landing and I'm going to be counter-punching and I'm going to be setting up my combinations," Tarver said.

"And when I start catching Danny, the end is near because I don't think he's ever felt the type of short, crisp power that I have."

Tarver is a star in the last instalment of the Rocky movie franchise, but we're not so sure that will save him.

Harry Potter The Exhibition: Wizard Weaves Magic At Powerhouse Museum, Sydney, by Eva Rinaldi - 19th July 2011

Today Sydney welcomed a new Harry Potter exhibition in that has but both Potter fans and news media into a frenzy.

A school group of 120 wizards er students, dressed up in Potter garb Hogwarts with robes, wands and all manner of magical accessories, were invited to a sneak preview of the upcoming Harry Potter – The Exhibition at the Powerhouse Museum at 11am this morning.

The expo, not due to open till November, will feature props, costumes and set replicas from the film franchise.

It's strongly rumoured that two of Cate Blanchett's children, Dashiell John and Roman Robert were done up as Wizards, skipping class (so to speak) from a Hunter's Hill educational facility.

The red hot event was opened by Deputy Premier Andrew Stoner.  Most had some to see Matthew Lewis, the ultra talented 22 year-old actor who played Neville Longbottom in the flicks.

The expo has journeyed down under from New York, and is positioned to fill a need for fans of  Harry Potter and the Dealthly Hallows: Part 2.

The exhibition opens at Sydney’s Powerhouse Museum on November 19 and runs to March 18, 2012.

The Powerhouse Museum maintains it's magic touch, and so might you if you're brave enough to attend.

And in an extra special treat Def Leppard they will be joined by American rockers Heart, who will be playing Australia for the very first time and Oz rock legends Choirboys.
Triple M Sydney's Becko jumped out of his is seat when he heard the news the rockers responsible for all those classic anthems from the Pyromania and Hysteria albums like "Love Bites", "Pour Some Sugar on Me", "Hysteria" and "Rocket" were coming down under.
"I was only seven when I was given a copy of Hysteria, my first album and most treasured of all time - I still listen to the original vinyl. I can't wait to see Def Leppard: the band that I grew up with and one of the greatest rock acts ever."
Dangerous Dave from Triple M Melbourne remembered: "In 1988 if your pencil case didn’t have an ACDC or Def Leppard logo on it you were destined for a lifetime of Rick Astley. These guys always impress on stage. I salute just one arm (Thanks Rick Allen)!".

Dolly Parton Returns To Australia

 

 

DOLLY PARTON
THE QUEEN OF COUNTRYRETURNS TO AUSTRALIA

“An artist is: who she is, who she thinks she is, and who her fans think she is; and the closer those three are together, the more complete that artist is. None is more complete than her.” KENNY ROGERS on Dolly Parton

With rumours flying about for months now, Chugg Entertainment are today thrilled to confirm that the legendary Dolly Parton will be returning to Australia for an almighty string of concerts this November.

The tour begins in Perth on Tuesday 8 November at Burswood Dome, before heading to the Adelaide Entertainment Centre for a show on Saturday 12 November. The show rolls east to Sydney at Acer Arena on Tuesday 15 November, and then onwards to wine country for an outdoor show at Hope Estate in the Hunter Valley on Saturday 19 November. Dolly and her band then head to Melbourne for shows on Tuesday 22 & Wednesday 23 November at Rod Laver Arena before finishing up at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre on Friday 25 & Saturday 26 November.

How does one begin to describe an icon like Dolly Parton? Singer-songwriter, author, multi-instrumentalist, actress, philanthropist, businesswoman; this mighty talent’s list of credentials is worth every ounce of veneration she receives.

Hailed as ‘The Queen of Country Music,’ her four and a half decade career since her national chart debut has seen her become one of the most successful female artists in the history of the country genre, with twenty-five number one singles, and a record forty-one top 10 country albums. In addition to her illustrious music career, Parton’s foray into other ventures include a self-titled theme park, television variety shows and several successful films – including an Oscar nomination for her role in 9 to 5 – all of which have cemented her status as an American superstar.

Australian fans will be delighted when the Smoky Mountain Songbird takes the stage and shows us exactly why she is such a legend. With hits like “9 To 5”, “Here You Come Again”, “Jolene”, and of course the incomparable “I Will Always Love You”, audiences are guaranteed to see the show of a lifetime. With all new sets, costumes and even new music from her forthcoming album ‘Better Day’ to be released later this year, it is sure to make an evening spent with Dolly Parton a night to remember. The two and a half hour show will be a deeply personal affair as Dolly lets the audience inside; telling stories and interacting with fans in a wholly new show featuring a brand new production, lighting and video.

Dolly Parton has written over 4,000 songs, had numerous number 1 hits and won countless Grammy, CMA and ACM awards, not to mention enough gold and platinum albums to make even the folks at “Tiffany’s” blush.

Dolly Parton is the most honoured female country performer of all time. Achieving 25 RIAA certified gold, platinum and multi-platinum awards, she has had 25 songs reach number 1 on the Billboard Country charts, a record for a female artist. She has 41 career top 10 country albums, a record for any artist, and she has 110 career charted singles over the past 40 years. All-inclusive sales of singles, albums, hits collections, paid digital downloads and compilation usage during her Hall of Fame career have reportedly topped a staggering 100 million records world-wide.

She has garnered 7 Grammy Awards, 10 Country Music Association Awards, 5 Academy of Country Music Awards, 3 American Music Awards and is one of only five female artists to win the Country Music Association’s Entertainer of the Year Award.

Yet with all of the national and international recognition given to her, Dolly Parton calls the bronze statue of her, which stands on the courthouse lawn in her hometown of Sevierville, Tennessee, her “greatest honour, because it came from the people who know me.”

In 1986, Dolly saw a cherished dream become a reality with the opening of her own theme park called Dollywood, in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, at the base of the Great Smoky Mountains. The state’s number one tourist attraction, Dollywood was selected by the theme park industry as one of the top three theme parks in the world in 2006 and recently won its 17 Brass ring awards and the coveted ‘Applause Award’ for Best Theme Park in the World.

In 1988, she began the Dollywood Foundation to inspire children in her home community to dream more, learn more, do more and care more. Currently the foundation partners with local sponsors to provide the Dolly Parton Imagination Library across America, Canada and now across Europe, by giving every preschool child a book each month from the time he or she is born until the child reaches kindergarten. With the help of local sponsors, this program has expanded to over 800 communities in 41 states. Dolly says, “My dad was prouder of me for this program than for my music career. He thought it was grand that all the kids called me the Book Lady.”

Always dreaming and always looking forward, Dolly is busier than ever, working on various children’s projects, working on a new movie project and writing and recording, these projects are just a few of her many interests at the moment.  The phenomenon of Dolly Parton continues to flourish, as she remains one of the World’s true superstars.

Parton’s arrival on Australian shores in November this year, will be her first in nearly thirty years and is certain to be the milestone event of the 2011 touring calendar.

Dolly Parton fans with Visa Credit, Debit or Prepaid cards can gain access to presale tickets through Visa Entertainment. Advance Dolly Parton tour tickets across all seating categories, and reserved access to premium seats, will be available from 9.00am (local time), Tuesday 14 June 2011 until 5.00pm (local time), Thursday 16 June 2011 or until tickets sell out.  For more information on the Visa pre sale visit Visa Entertainment. Visa Entertainment members purchasing through the pre-sale will aslo be granted complimentary membership to Dolly Parton's "Dollyite" fan club, offering access to exclusive content and promotions.

SHOCK ROCKER, ALICE COOPER CONFIRMS SHOWS FOR SOUNDWAVE REVOLUTION

SHOCK ROCKER, ALICE COOPER
CONFIRMS HEADLINE THEATRE SHOWS FOR SOUNDWAVE REVOLUTION
With an infamous stage show that has been known to feature anything from simulated executions to chopped up baby dolls or the presence of live boa constrictors, guillotines, zombies and chickens, Alice Cooper's concert performances are nothing short of iconic and Chugg Entertainment are thrilled to announce headline shows for the master of shock rock this September.
As an artist, he has both been influenced by and then influenced horror movies and garage rock, to pioneer a spectacular theatrical brand of hard rock that was designed to shock and Alice Cooper is the master of the genre.
His fans range from Salvador Dali to Bob Dylan to Foo Fighters, Dave Grohl and Johnny Depp, who took the stage with Alice Cooper and his band at the legendary "100 Club" in London last month, and without Alice Cooper, the music world may never have seen likes of the New York Dolls, KISS, Marilyn Manson, Nine Inch Nails, Motley Crue, Slipknot or Rob Zombie.
The iconic performer, who invented the concept of the rock concert as theatre, is returning to Australia for the first time since 2009 to tour alongside Van Halen, Bad Religion, Hole and more, as part of the Soundwave Revolution Festival and will play just three side shows as part of his visit, two in Australia and one in New Zealand; at The Trusts Stadium in Auckland on Thursday 22 September, the Enmore Theatre in Sydney on Monday 26 September and the Palais Theatre in Melbourne on Thursday 29 September. Tickets for all the Sydney and Melborune sideshows go on sale on Thursday 14July, and tickets for the Auckland show go onsale Monday 25 July.
The highly acclaimed, Sydney based 5 piece rock band Syndicate will join Alice Cooper for his Australian sideshows in September, following their own successful local tour and the release of their debut self titled album, recorded in Los Angeles.
Since his last visit to Australia, he was inducted into The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame by fellow horror-rocker Rob Zombie at an unforgettable event in New York City, which saw Alice Cooper arrive in a blood-splattered shirt with a giant albino boa constrictor wrapped around his neck. The following week he was presented with the "Golden God Award" at the Revolver Golden Gods in Los Angeles, and then last month he received an "Icon" award in London from Kerrang Magazine.
Much more than just a successful rock star, musician and performing artist, Alice Cooper is also well known to Australian fans for his daily radio program on Sydney's 95.3FM & Melbourne's 91.5FM, which he personally describes as "the most psychotic prolific mutant on the radio."
This September tour also marks the release of Alice Cooper's latest album, Welcome 2 My Nightmare, a long overdue follow up to the acclaimed Welcome to My Nightmare 1979 release. The album reunites Alice with producer Bob Ezrin and features contributions from Rob Zombie, Vince Gill, Buckcherry's Keith Nelson and more, and is described by Alice as a "Shreikquel," sure to thrill fans and critics alike.
With these most intimate shows - expect the unexpected from what Rolling Stone can only describe as the world's most "beloved heavy metal entertainer."
