SNOOP DOWN FOR CALI-BASH CONCERT.

Spanish Broadcasting System, Inc. (SBS) (NASDAQ: SBSA), the favorite station of millennial Latinos in Los Angeles, MEGA 96.3FM announced the Calibash 2016 full line-up headlined by Snoop Dogg and featuring performances by J Balvin, Prince Royce, Nicky Jam, Plan B, Yandel, Farruko, Becky G, J Alvarez, Lil Jon, J Quiles, Zion & Lennox, Alex Sensation and Henry Santos. Calibash 2016, hosted by KXOL Mega 96.3FM, La Musica and produced by AEG Live and Latin Events will take place on Sunday, January 24, 2016 at STAPLES Center in Los Angeles, California. Tickets available for purchase at www.axs.com.

With more than 135,000 tickets sold since its inception, Calibash has become the leading Latin urban music concert in Los Angeles and will feature in its 2016 edition a performance by world renowned music icon Snoop Dogg. Hailing from Los Angeles, just like Calibash, Snoop Dogg conquered the music world and transformed rap and hip-hop music with his signature sounds and stage presence.

Nicknamed Snoop by his mother because of his appearance, Calvin Broadus (born October 20, 1972) was raised in Long Beach, California. Snoop began recording homemade tapes with his friend Warren G, who happened to be the stepbrother of N.W.A.'s Dr. Dre. Warren G gave a tape to Dre, who was considerably impressed with Snoop's style and began collaborating with the rapper. When Dre decided to make his tentative first stab at a solo career in 1992 with the theme song for the film Deep Cover, he had Snoop rap with him. "Deep Cover" started a buzz about Snoop that escalated into full-fledged mania when Dre released his own debut album, The Chronic, on Death Row Records late in 1992. Snoop rapped on The Chronic as much as Dre, and his drawled vocals were as important to the record's success as its P-Funk bassgrooves. Dre's singles "Nuthin' But a 'G' Thang" and "Dre Day," which prominently featured Snoop, became Top Ten pop crossover hits in the spring of 1993, setting the stage for Snoop's much-anticipated debut album, Doggystyle. In 2016, the intentionally leaked "My Peoples" freestyle appeared. The track paid tribute to many involved in Cali'sLatin rap community, so it was no big surprise when "Vato" with Cypress Hill's B Real became his next album's leadoff single. The hard and very G-funk Tha Blue Carpet Treatment triumphantly capped off a year of heavy West Coast activity. In late 2007, he recruited two hip-hop veterans -- new jack swing legend Teddy Riley and West Coast hero DJ Quik -- and formed the production team QDT Muzic. The team oversaw Snoop's 2008 album, Ego Trippin', which included the single "Sensual Seduction." In 2009, he issued Malice N Wonderland, the maiden release of a new alliance with the reactivated Priority label, which also signed him on as its creative chairman. He promoted the album a couple months prior to its street date when he hosted the live wrestling television broadcast WWE Raw. A year later the CD/DVD set More Malice rounded up some odds and ends from the album and packaged them with a DVD featuring the Malice N Wonderland short film. In 2011, he released Doggumentary, an album he considered the sequel to his classic debut. The album featured production from the likes of Swizz Beats, DJ Khalil, and Scott Storch, while guest artists included Kanye West, John Legend, Wiz Khalifa, and Willie Nelson. Also arriving that same year was a feature film with Khalifa, Mac and Devin Go to High School, along with its accompanying soundtrack. After a 2012 trip to Jamaica, Snoop Dogg returned as Snoop Lion, and with the help of producer Diplo, he released his first all-reggae album, Reincarnated, on RCA in 2013. Another name change came later in the year when he became Snoopzilla and joined modern funkster Dâm-Funk for the project/album 7 Days of Funk. A return to Snoop Dogg came in 2015 when he partnered with Pharrell Williams for the hip-hop effort Bush. The album was introduced by the single "Peaches N Cream" and featured guest appearances from Stevie Wonder, Justin Timberlake, Robin Thicke, and Charlie Wilson (Source Billboard.com).

EPIX TV TO DEBUT COLDPLAY CONCERT FILM LIVE. 

FROM PR Newswire

 Premium network EPIX will premiere the new Coldplay tour film Live 2012 as an EPIX Original Concert Event in the U.S. on November 17th, followed by the release of the tour film for purchase on November 20th.

Live 2012 documents Coldplay's acclaimed Mylo Xyloto world tour, which has been seen by more than three million people since it began in June 2011. It includes footage from Coldplay's shows at Paris's Stade de France, Montreal's Bell Centre and last year's triumphant Pyramid Stage headline performance at Glastonbury Festival.
Coldplay frontman Chris Martin said: "The Mylo Xyloto tour has been the most fun we've ever had as a band. It's felt very uplifting right from the start; partly because we are proud of the music, the LED wristbands, the pyrotechnics, the lasers and all of that stuff, but mainly because of the amazing audiences that we've been playing for. Over the years, our crowd has become more and more a part of the concert itself. They're loud, diverse, full of soul, and make the songs sound much better than we can on our own. We wanted to try to bottle the incredible feeling that they give us, and hence our concert film."
"Coldplay put so much into the tour, it's a spectacular feat and fun to behold. We're pleased to give all their fans front row access by premiering the concert on EPIX," said Mark Greenberg, EPIX CEO.
The film was directed by Paul Dugdale, previously responsible for Adele's Live at the Royal Albert Hall and The Prodigy's Worlds On Fire concert films. Jay Faires of JFE was the executive producer. Live 2012 will be released by Capitol Records on CD/DVD, Blu-ray/CD and digitally. It is available to pre-order now.

HAYDEN PANETTIERE TAKES PARENTS TO LAST NIGHT KILLERS CONCERT.

EXCLUSIVE!

Claire Bear herself escorted: her mom and dad, to the Killers concert. The tiny beauty- dressed in a grey blouse,blue jeans and high heeled black leather boots with ruby bottoms, appeared to be having fun with her family.

While viewing the opening act of The Psychedelic Furs, she got bored of the Micheal Stripe-like swaying, of the coke bottled glassed lead singer.

She decided to walk up to a security guard,near her seats and politely asked him, "Where's the best place to smoke" at the Hollywood Bowl? The music was so loud ,that the actress was forced to repeat her questions and the guard tried several times to answer her queries.

"So, I can smoke the ladies (room?,)" said the cheerleader actress.

The guard finally told Beth Cooper, that if she smokes anywhere in the venue, she "could be fined" -since smoking at the Bowl is illegal. A look of fear crossed her face and she scurried away without further word, with her mom in tow.

After the Furs finished and twenty minutes passed, Panettiere returned with her family to their seats. About five minute later, she left her parents, as the Killer began their show and Hayden left to meet her date, Foo Fighter leader Dave Grohl. She proceeded to leave with him, for his seats on the west side of the pavilion.

Backstage, the guard heard about other famous people at the event, including talk show host Jimmy Kimmel and Saw's Shawnee Smith. Then, he asked the lady workers, what they thought of Noah Bennett's golden girl?

The working class ladies at the event, couldn't hide the disdain for petite actress. A red haired usher called her, " a B level actress, who can't act." and another brunette waitress, remarked how little the thespian was, but amazed how "fat" she seemed to her.

During the Killers' encore, the Furs front man Rich Butler-jumped on stage, after one their songs and satirized- the Kanye West debacle on MTV. He declared his band had "did a great song tonight" and should headline their own show. After the audience cheered, The Killers vocalist Dave K. (I suspect) declared confusedly "that was... great" and "What the hell was that?!"
