by Kelsey Denette - Jan 9, 2013


Hot on the heels of their recent critically acclaimed album release 'New York Connection', UK rock legends SWEET have released a new live CD only available by digital download. Performing the band's most famous and influential album from 1974 'Desolation Boulevard' live, SWEET's 'Desolation Boulevard Revisited' recaptures the album in concert with all of the raw energy that can only come from a live performance. Originally titled 'Sweet Fanny Adams' in the UK, the 1974 US release of the album, re-titled 'Desolation Boulevard', was a turning point for the band featuring, for the first time, more of a hard rock sound. The album yielded classic hits such as 'Ballroom Blitz', 'Fox On The Run' and 'The Six Teens', catapulting the band to international stardom!

BWW Reviews: 'First Night Classic Open Air' Gendarmenmarkt
by Marcel Konrath - Jul 6, 2012


Es ist eine der berühmtesten Szenen aus einem der erfolgreichsten Musicalfilme der Filmgeschichte. Gene Kelly hüpft und tanzt durch Wasserpfützen und singt dazu sein legendäres 'Singin' In The Rain'. Was auf Zelluloid zum Klassiker wurde und sich nach wie vor großer Beliebheit erfreut,endet in der Realiät weniger schön. Der Auftaktabend des Classic Open Air Spektakels auf dem Gendarmenmarkt endet am Donnerstag Abend vorzeitig mit Regen, Blitz und Donner. Nach singen im Regen ist da niemandem zu Mute, vor allem den durchnässten Besuchern nicht. Während vereinzelte Besucher bereits vor dem Ende des ersten Teils die Flucht ergreifen, geht die Vielzahl in der Pause. Einer von den Besuchern war ich. Leider ist es nicht nur der Regen der stört und überflüssig ist. Angefangen mit den unlustigen, pointiert entleerten und schlecht recherchierten Moderationsversuchen von Herbert Feuerstein.

FLASH: Ricky Martin Meets Madonna
by Pat Cerasaro - Feb 5, 2012


One of the foremost male pop stars of the last twenty years is undeniably 'Livin' La Vida Loca' crooner Ricky Martin, so his deigning of appearing on next week's GLEE as a new Spanish teacher, David Martinez, is a cause celebre for fans of the Latin superstar, GLEE, or, even, for those who follow the artists whom he covers on the episode - LMFAO's 'Sexy And I Know It' and, the Queen of Pop herself, Madonna. Recalling the golden days of television when hit parade variety shows would cover top chart hits when they were fresh and new, Ricky Martin tackling Madonna two days after the Super Bowl - with, supposedly, a LMFAO cameo occurring during her highly anticipated performance on Sunday - and taking on one of the year's biggest songs so far, 'Sexy And I Know It', is pop culture must-see TV if there ever were any. Ricky Martin and Madonna are undeniably two of the most theatrical pop culture mainstays of the last few decades and their collective media super-blitz thanks to Martin's GLEE appearance and Madonna's Super Bowl performance is encapsulated perfectly in Martin's essaying of Madonna's classic caliente pop hit, 'La Isla Bonita'. Both Martin and Madonna can certainly command a stage - and an audience of thousands; or, even, millions, as they shall both prove yet again on Sunday and Tuesday, respectively - so, let's take a look at what we can look forward to from these two entertainment icons as we enter one of the most celebratory weekends of the year. First down!
