Blondie & Garbage Tour Starts Soon! Listen To NEW SONG & Coming To Vegas!


Blondie & Garbage today announced a co-headline North American tour that will kick off on July 5th in Saratoga, CA and wrap on August 12th in Dallas, TX. John Doe & Exene Cervenka will provide support on the first leg of the tour and Deap Vally for the second leg. Tickets for the Rage and Rapture tour go on sale starting Friday, February 17 at 10:00am local time (please check venue websites for most up-to-date on sale information). Fans can also access a ticket pre-sale now HERE - pages.tmclient.ticketmaster.com/BlondieGarbageRageandRaptureTour2017/
using the password RAGEANDRAPTURE (pre-sale not available in all markets). A complete list of live dates can be found below. More dates to be added soon.

For the last four decades, Blondie has become and still remains a true national treasure; one whose influence both shaped and continues to inform the worlds of music, fashion and art. From an irreverent Lower East Side punk outfit to bona fide international ambassadors of New York cool, Blondie will forever be synonymous with that punk spirit that lives somewhere in all of us. Comprised of singer-songwriter Debbie Harry, guitarist and co-writer Chris Stein, powerhouse drummer Clem Burke, and long-time band members bassist Leigh Foxx, guitarist Tommy Kessler and keyboardist Matt Katz-Bohen, Blondie's chart-topping success, fearless spirit and rare longevity led to an induction into the Rock 'N' Roll Hall of Fame in 2006, a NME Godlike Genius Award in 2014, a Q Award for Outstanding Contribution to Music in 2016, and more than 40 million albums sold worldwide to date.  Debbie's persona and the band's boundary-pushing pop have shaped the look and sound of many chart-topping female artists who followed in the last three decades.  And their newest album, Pollinator (out May 5th via BMG), delves even deeper into this idea: inspiration from Blondie's action-packed, cross-pollinating past shaping the sound of our collective future. PRESS HERE www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJfyvGbjh3c&feature=youtu.be to listen to "Fun", the first song off this release, and PRESS HERE www.theblondiestore.com/ to pre-order Pollinator, which features songwriting from Sia, Blood Orange frontman Dev Hynes, British singer Charli XCX, Dave Sitek (TV On The Radio), Nick Valensi (The Strokes), Johnny Marr (The Smiths) and more.


Garbage is Shirley Manson, Duke Erikson, Steve Marker and Butch Vig. After forming in Madison, WI, Garbage released their self-titled debut album in 1995. The band's unique sound and provocative visual aesthetic, inspired massive worldwide attention and success. Their follow up album, Version 2.0, released in 1998, topped charts all over the world and garnered multiple Grammy Award nominations including Album Of The Year. Garbage went on to release two more albums: 2001's Beautiful Garbage and 2005's Bleed Like Me, the latter of which earned the band its highest chart position with a No. 4 on the Billboard Top 200 Album Chart. After a 7-year hiatus, the band released their fifth studio album Not Your Kind of People in 2012 on their independent record label, STUNVOLUME. The album was named one of Rolling Stone magazine's Top 50 Albums of 2012 and was hailed as the "alternative to everything," by Pitchfork. Garbage has sold over 15 million albums worldwide and performed in over thirty-five countries. In 2015, the band celebrated its 20th anniversary with their SOLD OUT '20 Years Queer' world tour and the release of a special 20th anniversary edition of their debut album, re-mastered and featuring previously unreleased material. Last year, Garbage released Strange Little Birds, which debuted at No. 1 on Billboard's Top Rock Albums and Alternative Albums chart, and arrived at No. 14 overall on the Billboard 200 chart. This summer, Garbage will be releasing an autobiographical coffee table book, This Is The Noise That Keeps Me Awake, currently available for preorder HERE www.akashicbooks.com/catalog/this-is-the-noise-that-keeps-me-awake/

Code To Use During EDC For Lyft!


As hundreds of thousands of people prepare for Insomniac's Electric Daisy Carnival (EDC) June 16-18 at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway, Lyft Las Vegas and the Friends of Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Foundation are urging partygoers to ride safe. The first 2,000 new and existing users can use code 'RIDEEDC' for 50% off two rides, up to $8 off per ride to and from the Speedway.

"We want everyone to have a great time at EDC and there is no excuse for impaired driving, especially when there are safe alternatives," said Tom Kovach, executive director for the Friends of Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Foundation. "We are so pleased to partner with Lyft Las Vegas in their continuing efforts to keep our community safe this EDC weekend."

"EDC is a truly epic weekend, but can be stressful with driving there, finding a place to park, and then getting home after a long night of dancing and music," said Yacob Girma, Lyft Las Vegas general manager. "Lyft offers multiple tools to ensure a hassle-free night - you can schedule your ride ahead of time, grab all of your friends and split a Lyft Plus, or take Lyft Premier for a truly VIP experience!"

Another Vegas Icon Sign Being Retired! Good-Bye Vegas Vickie


Downtown Las Vegas’ beloved cowgirl, Vegas Vickie, will kick her legs one last time before being lowered from her perch overlooking Fremont Street Experience on Monday, June 12. An iconic piece of Las Vegas history, the neon sign will be taken down as part of the construction for the highly anticipated resort-casino slated to transform the space previously occupied by Las Vegas Club.

“I have always been a big fan of Vickie’s, but we know she’s ready for some much need rest and relaxation,” said Derek Stevens, CEO of the D Las Vegas, Golden Gate Hotel & Casino and the upcoming resort project. “We are on the active hunt to find the best home possible for our girl, as she is truly a key part of the Las Vegas story.”

Originally dubbed Sassy Sally after a casino of that name, the sign was created in 1980 by Ad Art’s Jack Dubois and Charles Barnard for Bob Stupak’s Glitter Gulch. She was later called Vegas Vickie, and gained national attention in 1994 when she “married” her neighboring neon cowboy, Vegas Vic, who currently stands over the former Pioneer Club building.

Nevada Stupak, the son of Bob Stupak, said “Vegas Vickie has brought joy to so many people from around the world, and we hope locals and tourists alike will stop by to take a photo with her one last time.”

In 2016, Derek and Greg Stevens acquired three Granite Gaming Group properties, including Topless Girls of Glitter Gulch, Mermaids and La Bayou casinos. Glitter Gulch and Mermaids will be incorporated into their plans for the site of the Las Vegas Club, which will become a new resort-casino concept on the world-famous Fremont Street Experience.

Las Vegas residents are encouraged to pay homage to Vegas Vickie before she saddles up for her next adventure. Along with Vegas Vickie, the letters found in the Las Vegas Club signage will be removed Monday as well.

Complete Wrap Up And Winners From The Las Vegas Motor Speedway


'The Wizard is back. Six-time Bullring track champion Scott Gafforini ended a nearly year-long winless draught by taking the second of two 35-lap NASCAR Super Late Model features at the Chris Trickle Classic on Saturday night. Gafforini joined David Anderson – who won the first NASCAR Super Late Model race of the evening – in the Winner’s Circle 364 days after his last victory at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway short track.

Gafforini dominated the night cap, finishing 3.220 seconds ahead of reigning division champion Justin Johnson to notch career Bullring win No. 65. “I’d like to thank J&S Automotive for giving us such a great power plant,” Gafforini said. “With all that power and the weight that needs to go in the car, Howe Racing sent us a nice care package this week and the crew put it all on. We’ve all been working on it, so (it’s special) that everybody’s here.”

Anderson kicked off the night’s action with his second win in three events, .355 of a second ahead of the track’s all-time winningest female driver, Kayli Barker. Anderson was joined in the Winner’s Circle by his father, Steve, who finished fifth, and dedicated the win to the mother of a friend who passed away earlier in the day. “There have been a lot of technological advances, and we’ve worked really hard on the car,” Anderson said. “This chassis is about half my age, so to get this to run like this against these guys that were behind me is just something amazing. I didn’t look behind me, I just focused forward and let my spotter tell me if they got close.”

Aaron McMorran remained perfect in the NASCAR Bombers class this season, winning his seventh consecutive feature after holding off the Jacks brothers. Defending Bombers division champion Sam Jacks finished .306 of a second behind, while Kyle was third, 1.126 seconds off the pace. “You just do your best every time you get in the car, and you’re either going to win them or you’re not,” said McMorran, who is now tied for 12th on The Bullring’s all-time wins list with 24. “You still get to drive race cars on the weekends, so it’s a good day either way. The Trickles have a special place in my heart, and I know this is a special night for them and I’m glad (Chuck) got to race with us.”

 Former track champion Chuck Trickle – the father of the late Chris Trickle for which the night is named – drove Pete Meyer’s car in the 25-lap race and finished 10th. He joined McMorran in the Winner’s Circle to offer his congratulations. "I’ve been out of (the driver’s seat) for a long time, and there’s cars going here and there and your mind’s going crazy,” Trickle said. “(McMorran) caught me on the second lap, so I must have really been driving slow. Pete Meyer let me drive his car after mine broke, and this was fun.”

NASCAR Super Stocks driver Court Connell delivered on his promise to LVMS staff that he would win the night’s 25-lap feature. Connell, a former NASCAR Bombers driver, guided his Joker-themed purple No. 11 to his first victory of 2017 after crossing the line .654 of a second ahead of UNLV student Johnny Spilotro. “I made the change (to Super Stocks), because the car was a good price,” Connell said. “I decided to come out and race it this season, and the Joker theme was my boy’s idea. Thank you to all my family and friends who came out to see me, and to Matt Larsen, sorry for all of the bumping.”

Four-time track champion Doug Hamm added to his Bullring legacy with career victory No. 46 by taking the 30-lap NASCAR Grand American Modifieds feature. Hamm turned fast laps and finished 2.599 seconds ahead of Cameron Morga to win his second race of 2017.  “We knew we had a good car, and it’s got a good long-run setup on it,” Hamm said. “This win is for my mom; she hasn’t been feeling too well lately. I love you mama!”

Tyler Fabozzi earned his second win of the season after claiming the 25-lap USLCI Legends feature by .848 of a second ahead of teammate Michael Todd Glazier. Fabozzi grabbed the lead early and never looked back. “It definitely makes it a lot easier,” Fabozzi said of taking the lead early. “Any time I felt like I got a good lead, I’d come up on a lapped traffic car and see the guy behind me reel it back in. T.J. Clark and my dad gave me a perfect Legend car, and it went the way we needed it to.”

Ron Reed cruised to his fifth USLCI Thunder Car win in six races, crossing the line 9.376 seconds clear of Doug Germano. Reed was happy to return to the Winner’s Circle on the special night after the 20-lap feature. “I got a lot of help from my crew setting the car up right, and it’s easy to drive once it’s done right,” Reed said. “I’d like to say thank you to my family, and I’d like to say thank you to Mr. Trickle. Chuck’s been a great guy all these years, and my first late model was built in Chuck’s garage even though he didn’t really know me. I’d like to say thank you to Chuck and his family, with all they’ve been through and for all he’s done for this sport.”

In the USLCI Bandoleros Bandits division, Amilleo Thomson appeared to be headed to his third victory of the season before his car broke down on the final lap. Thomson limped to a fourth-place finish in the 12-lap race, while Braden Conner raced by for his second win of 2017.

Camden Larsen executed a late-race pass to get clear of Jesse Love en route to his fourth USLCI Bandolero Outlaws win of the season. Larsen finished .240 of a second ahead of Love, who won the last race on May 20, in the 12-lap feature.

NEXT RACE: The highly popular Night of Fire ends the track’s month-long break on Monday, July 3, with a full night of racing, The Bullring’s first-ever Figure 8 Trailer Race and one of the city’s best fireworks show highlighting the evening. There will be great concessions prices and affordable tickets available, and children 12 and under will be admitted free with a ticketed adult.
