Hollywood, CA - On Thursday, April 25th, just prior to her show in the hotel's rock venue Vinyl, the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas unveiled a displaying honoring the work of platinum selling solo artist and Australian guitarist Orianthi. Several hours later, Orianthi along with Glen Sobel (drummer for Alice Cooper) and Vivi Rama (bassist for Macy Gray, Jordin Sparks) performed to a packed house at Vinyl.

Prior to her show a crowd filled with fans, Hard Rock Hotel executives and media gathered for the unveiling ceremony of a glass display case, designed by Warwick Stone, honoring the young guitarist's work. Paul Davis, VP of Entertainment for the Hard Rock Hotel kicked off the ceremony by discussing Orianthi's accomplishments as a guitarist and solo artist. Max McAndrew, Booking and Operations Manager of Vinyl, followed with a brief interview with Orianthi about working with Michael Jackson, touring with Alice Cooper and her latest album Heaven In This Hell, produced by Dave Stewart (of the Eurythmics).


A beaming Orianthi commented this was "a very surreal moment" before she and Paul together pulled the black cover to unveil the display which includes her signature Scarlet Red PRS model guitar, the April 2013 Guitar World issue with Orianthi on the cover, the Jimi Hendrix tee she wore for the cover shoot, along with a video (on continuous loop) of her performing. For an indefinite period, the display will live in a high-traffic area of the main casino near the entrance to The Joint and Club Vinyl.
Following LA-based rockers Future Villains, Orianthi took the stage for a 80-minute show. Fans were treated to a set list that included tracks off her latest album Heaven In This Hell, as well as a few of her previous hits.

KillRockStar Big Dog Entertainment, FasterLouder, inthemix & Street Press Australia present: HAPPY MONDAYS Announce Rescheduled Australian Dates and New Special Guest DJs 808 State Bez | Gary Whelan | Mark Day | Paul Ryder | Rowetta | Shaun Ryder For the first time in Australia- the definitive original line-up!

Due to unforeseen circumstances Manchester's Happy Mondays have no choice but to announce that their May Australian tour will now be rescheduled to June, 2013. The Mondays are upset and apologise for not being able to make these original shows but are pleased to announce that along with the new dates they will now have seminal Madchester outfit 808 State joining the bill for a special DJ set at each of the rescheduled Australian shows. All tickets previously purchased are valid for this newly announced set of dates.

The Mondays, with guests 808 State will now play Metropolis in Fremantle on the 5^th of June. The Palace in Melbourne on the 6^th will be the next stop with guests 808 State and a special set from seminal Melbourne outfit Underground Lovers. Brisbane gets its own taste of Madchester on Friday the 7^th of June and Sydney gets to celebrate the Queen’s Birthday holiday large with the Happy Mondays and guests 808 State on Monday June 10^th.

Replacing Peter Hook who is unable to make the rescheduled dates, 808 State will bring the authentic spirit of Madchester to proceedings guaranteeing audiences will be well up for it ahead of the Monday's first ever Australian shows with their original line-up. Formed in Manchester in 1988 by Graham Massey, Martin Price and Gerald Simpson, 808 State's first album – Newbuild - is now regarded as a milestone in UK electronica. As the NME observed “808 State revolutionised a whole genre of music in the late-80s, inspiring Underworld, Orbital and the Chemical Brothers in the process."

Happy Mondays were one of the most influential UK bands of the later 20th century. Fusing the euphoric elements of acid house and rave with joyous indie guitar pop, the Mondays. instigated a cosmic psychedelic shift that is still being felt in music today. Tracks like Step On, 24 Hour Party People, Wrote For Luck, Loose Fit and Kinky Afro showcased the band's unique ability to unify the divide between dance music and rock 'n' roll.
