Locos Por Juana Announce Their Summer U.S. & Canada Tour Dates

Los Angeles, CA – As part of their summer tradition, the band Locos Por Juana will execute an extensive tour that will take them from coast to coast in the United States and to Canada, with over 14 dates including renowned festivals and special events.

The tour, ‘Somos de la Calle Summer Tour’ (We are from the Streets Summer Tour), is part of a nationwide promotion to support their fifth studio album titled ‘Somos de la Calle’ (We are from the Streets) which will be released within the next few weeks.

“For several years now we have done summer tours all over the U.S. and Europe. It is the right time of the year for us to perform in festivals and visit places where our music is the perfect excuse to have fun and enjoy this particular time of year,” said Itagui Correa, Locos Por Juana’s vocalist.

Currently, the band known as “the masters of mash-up of Latin-Reggae-Hip-Hop”, is promoting the hit single and video “Afro Sound” feat. Palenke Soultribe.

“On this tour we will be visiting new places and returning to cities and events that have previously received us with great affection. This tour is part of all the work we have prepared for the launch of our new album. We hope to see many new and familiar faces at the shows,” stated Mark Kondrat, Locos Por Juana’s guitarist.

Kanye’s Nike Air Yeezy II Shoe Will Launch June 9th

 

Los Angeles, CA – The Nike Air Yeezy II, the follow-up to the brand’s 2009 collaborative shoe with rapper/designer Kanye West, will be released June 9 at select retailers worldwide, Nike announced Wednesday.

According to the news release, while the original Yeezy used a late-’80s basketball shoe as its starting point, the II is built on a tennis shoe outsole (the Air Tech Challenge II, to be specific), and the overall silhouette is comparatively slimmer than that of its predecessor. Part of this is thanks to the elimination of unnecessary padding and partly due to the fact that it’s tailored to the shape of Kanye West’s (presumably narrower) foot.

Nike Air Yeezy IIThere are nearly enough animal references in the Air Yeezy II to stock a zoo, including anaconda-textured leather quarter panels and eyelets, a molded area above the heel with raised bumps that resemble the armored underside of a reptile, a bird design on the tongue, and a parade of critter hieroglyphics (spelling out ‘YZY’ we’re told) across the loop strap.

Nike Air Yeezy IIThe limited-edition shoe, with an MSRP of $245, will be released in two colorways — “platinum” (we’re going with “two slightly different shades of gray”) with the sparest of orange accents, and black with accents in pink. Based on the photos we’ve seen, both versions of the shoe have a sole in a shade of minty green.

Maná Will Shatter The All-Time STAPLES Center Concert Record

 

Los Angeles, CA – Throughout the history of live music performances, a rare level of superstar artists become forever linked with an iconic venue due to their unrivaled drawing power in a city – Frank Sinatra at The Sands, Bruce Springsteen at The Stone Pony & The Meadowlands, Elton John at Madison Square Garden, The Allman Brothers at The Beacon Theatre, The Grateful Dead and Jefferson Starship at The Fillmore, and more. In Los Angeles, legendary links stand between The Doors at The Whiskey-A-Go-Go, James Taylor & Carole King at the Troubadour, and Guns N’ Roses across The Sunset Strip. To that list, you can now add the world’s biggest Latin Rock band, as Maná will now firmly solidify their place as the all-time concert kings of the STAPLES Center. After two capacity concerts this week at Madison Square Garden in New York, The Chart-topping Mexican Superstars will bring their critically-praised Drama y Luz tour back to Los Angeles for another three night concert stand on April 19, 20th and 25th. Impressively demonstrating Maná’s drawing power in the entertainment capitol of the world, this will mark the unrivalled SEVETH Sold-Out STAPLES Center show of this tour alone, and a music-industry leading ELEVENTH CAREER Night at the iconic downtown L.A. arena (Both a new record regardless of language). With Maná unmatched as the top concert draw for young Latino’s, they will now firmly share bragging rights with Kobe Bryant as the ticket-selling titans of STAPLES Center.

“Latin Rock Band Maná Brings In The Audiences… Maná is selling out lots of shows, and the group has been equaling or surpassing audience numbers for major American performers such as Lady GaGa and Taylor Swift!…the group [will surpass] Britney Spears for having the most shows ever at Staples Center”– Perez Hilton

Deadmau5 Trolls Skrillex On The Red Carpet At The 2012 Grammy’s


Los Angeles, California – Before Deadmau5 and Foo Fighters joined forces Sunday night at the 54th Annual Grammy Awards, the Canadian superstar DJ made some news of his own by playing a joke on his DJ pal Skrillex on the red carpet. “But @skrillex, doesn’t mean you’re safe from getting the ultimate mau5 trolling experience prepare hahaha love u!” Deadmau5 tweeted Sunday, giving Skrillex a heads up that something was going to happen.

Walking down the red carpet and stopping for pictures, Deadmau5 was wearing a black t-shirt with a phone number and “u mad bro?” beneath it. The digits were apparently Skrillex’s cell phone number. “Maximum trolling achieved,” Deadmau5 said with a photo linked to the tweet.

“Not even funny,” Skrillex quickly replied via his official Twitter account.

“Haha @deadmau5 just wore my phone number on his fokin shirt on tv gotta retire this phone,” Skrillex later tweeted. However Skrillex tried his own means of revenge by taking Deadmau5’s number and forwarding all calls he was receiving to Deadmau5’s phone. But even that didn’t work.

“Nice try with the call forwarding @skrillex  one step ahead of you!” Deadmau5 tweeted to the 24-year-old who is signed to his record label, Mau5trap. “Ps. Congrats dude! Seriously, so rad!”

Later Deadmau5 took to Twitter to vent mildly about the Grammy broadcast. “Damnit Grammys….Stupid commercial showed the new mau5 2.0 LED head. So much for the surprise. FYI. My new LED mau5head is out tonight.”

Skrillex won three Grammy Awards and took to his own Twitter account to thank fans. “If I can win grammys then that means all you yet to be seen bedroom geniuses will one day TAKEOVER THE WORLD,” he proclaimed.

Deadmau5, meanwhile, responded to all the flak he got for his prank with pretty dead-on Facebook post: “lady gaga can somehow pull off wearing meat, but as soon as i have a lul with a friend, OH S— NO I DIDNT. relax people. just a harmless bit of fun and trolling. gotta love the lil goblin for being a good sport about it… if i didnt think he would have… well… i probably would have done it anyway.

“why am i even writting this? epic fun times in LA! but i gotta scoot back to Toronto and finish off this damn studio so i can do whats *actually* important to me. making music.”

Both Skrillex and Deadmau5 have a good year ahead of them, hopefully more awards will be presented to them as the year progresses and more of their projects are released. Stay tuned for more information.
