Us Open Club

Compendium is a new show at Planet Hollywood in which musicians pay tribute to legendary bands featuring live music, multimedia and acting during breaks in sets/costume changes. The first band they're paying tribute to is none other than KISS so when I heard that I was all about it. One of my friends who came to town is a huge KISS fan. I arranged to take him along with some other friends to see the show. My entire party had a rockin' good time! The Sin City Theater at Planet Hollywood is on the smaller side but it makes for a more intimate show. Seating was comfortable and waitresses bring drinks directly to your table. As far as I could tell, there wasn't a bad seat in the house. Some of the classics played were "Calling Dr. Love", "I Was Made for Lovin' You", "New York Groove", "Lick It Up", "Shout It Out Loud" and "Rock and Roll All Nite". Luis Reyes does an amazing job as Gene Simmons! That tongue... geez! I was the lucky recipient of a guitar pick from him when he threw it to me. Thanks Luis for making my time at the show special! At the end of the show, the band stayed out on the red carpet to take photos with fans which I thought was a really nice touch. The entire band was very personable and friendly. You can see the Sin City KISS show now through June 30th.

Wah, thank you for coming to Des Moines. My friends and I drove all the way down from North Dakota JUST to see you....by the recommendation of a friend from Iowa. AND IT WAS SO WORTH IT!! Beautiful theater, beautiful show. Thanks again!

Cool and refreshing independent artist. Beautiful fusion of art disciplines with good taste... images and prose over her very personal take on known songs and originals that pull you in. Would love to check her out again!

I've seen Steve Grand in concert 6 times over the past 2 years, and every time there were fantastic new songs that he wrote and some covers he did so well they're why I even noticed them in the first place. All Florida should go!!!

I was extremely disappointed in the fact that this tour was used as a deliberate attempt to market directly the new show Lost and Found. 50% of the show, if not more was dedicated to promoting "Lost and Found" by having a character from the show host the The Next Step Tour, singers from Lost and Found performing, Video Clips shown on screens....it went on and on. Beyond being disappointed I was actually offended to think that the audience wouldn't see through this - my eight year old kept on asking why "it is all about Lost and Found and not the Next Step dancers". The concert was almost 2.5 hours. The show could have been reduced down to an hour and a half and just had the Next Step dancers perform consistently - like any other performer would do at a concert!

Thd show was exciting and fun to watch. The men were gorgeous and the ladies beautiful! I would see this again and bring more friends. Such an awesome time

molly rankin is the best songwriter to come along since the early nineties. the show in portland was electric. when music resonates with people you can't help but respond. it was hot, sweaty and the crowd swayed in solidarity.

Chive fest is the bomb and I am going next year for sure!!!

I write this review with much remorse as I have lots of love for the House music scene and Dirtybird in particular. However, this review need be written... The venue that's normally used for events at COTA was not used for this event. Instead, the event was made with a temporary fence around the RV Park's pool (area). In theory this was a good idea as it was HOT this day, but there was ZERO* shade both over the pool and in the event area in general. We arrived around 6PM to find that not only was there no shade, but 30 to 45 people were in each beverage line and we decided not to redeem our BBQ as this line had over 80 people! Overall, the music was good for the short period of time, but the event was pitiful. I produce events for a living and would be embarrassed to say this was my event.. Needless to say, we spent approximately 25 minutes there and took off. Single biggest waste of money ($200) in my life. I would NEVER go back to a Dirtybird event unless I knew it was run by a professional and organized event production team. *There were two sun shades that were hung by the dance floor area, but were 100% covered by individuals.

I stumbled across Kawehi browsing the web and thought she was just playing pre-recorded loops - then I saw how she was creating them on-the-fly and really deconstructing the essence of the music! Now she's added originals! Truly she has a unique talent.
