Las Vegas...Battle of Bands @ Smokin' Aces & Venetian Hotel! No bubblegum music, please...

If you're not a Oscar fan - or haven't been  invited to the lone official Oscar party in Las Vegas at the "M" Resort (where Lance Burton & Mac King are slated to perform MC duties tonight as the 82nd Annual Academy Awards kick off) - why not trek on over to catch the battle of the bands?\
An exciting line-up is waiting to rock 'n roll 'ya at Smokin' Aces.

20 bands will be competing for $10,000.00 cash and an assortment of hot prizes!

The  performances will be judged by renowed musicians on the local scene -  as well as - a handful of strip celebrities.

In addition to tonight's round of talented acts, every Sunday henceforth, rock-music-lovers will have the opportunity stop in and catch the contestants in person, vote for their faves, and feret out four finalists.

The grand prize is enough to knock your socks off!

Competing bands have the opportunity to open for a Universal act during Memorial Day weekend  at the Venetian's new rock bar - and in the duration - rustle up exposure to major record labels as well.

Think you band has what it takes to catapult to great heights in the music industry?

If so, contact Steve Slaughter about submitting a demo.

Las Vegas...Alice Cooper @ Battle of the Bands! Captured by Julian Ayrs on HD Video!

Las Vegas...Battle of the Bands! Rock 'n Roll at dawn, dudes...

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery!

When I tossed open the curtain, and slid the window open wide bright and early this morning in my Hotel room, I was hit with a blast of rock 'n roll!

They start early in Vegas, don't they?

After showering, I took the elevator downstairs, and headed off for a morning cup of java.

Heh!

Was that Alice Cooper screaming the last few strains of the band's celebrated hit - "School's Out" - on the Freemont Street stage?

Shucks, missed capturing the classic little number on video.

But, lady luck was on my side.

"Are we allowed to do another song, "Alice" asked the stage manager in charge of the early morning riser.

Once that tidbit of dialogue fell on my ears, I snatched up my new HD Video Recorder just in time to catch an encore number in which "Alice" proceeded to tear off the head of a doll.

The truth of the matter?

The performance wasn't quite up to par.

Did "Alice" have a rough night, or what?

You got it!

Turns out, the musicians on stage were a Tribute Band!

The impromptu performance (and the one that followed that featured a Bon Jovi look-a-like) was a special promotion for the - "Battle of the Bands" (May 13th) - being taped for Fox News.

The teaser was being whipped up to throw the spotlight on a myriad of talented young musicians playing the strip in honky-tonks, casinos, and Hotel lounges around "sin" city in search of the elusive big break.

Later in the week, I'll upload the video, and you can decide for yourself if it was a tribute or a travesty!
