Thursday, May 20th, 2010

 

The Strokes lead singer has been making his rounds supporting his debut solo release, Phrazes for the Young, has toured the United States, Europe, and Australia the past few months. The 31-year-old will rejoin The Strokes for a number of dates in June and July including the Isle of Wight Festival in England, the Openair St. Gallen Festival in Switzerland, and Lollapalooza in Chicago all while continuing his solo tour in Europe. Stops at The Montreux Jazz Festival, The Peace in Love Festival in Sweden, and the Super Bock Super Rock, and T in the Park in Scotland. Phrazes for the Young has earned heaps of praise as well as being called Paul-Simon-esque. Fans can even download the album for the bargain price of $4.99 on ITunes. Casablancas is likely to the studio with his band mates soon to record another The Strokes album, but his solo career looks to be just taking off.

Chelsea Handler’s Chelsea Bang Bang Tour

Friday, May 7th, 2010

 

Everyone is looking for Chelsea Handler tickets right now as the hilarious stand-up is currently touring the country. When asked what she will talk about on her live tour, comedian Chelsea Handler told the press “It depends on how much I drink”. The E! Channel talk show host has become  a mini-mogul in her own right in the past few years. Her late night talk show, Chelsea Lately, has built up a huge following, her books continue to be best sellers, and her stand up comedy tours sell out night after night. She loves to dish on celebrities, drinking, and share humorous stories from her childhood. Chelsea got her start in comedy doing stand-up in little comedy cafes, and now she’s selling out theaters across the country. Her comedy comes off as if she’s just one of the ladies in the hair salon making fun of Britney Spears. She tears down pretentious stars without taking herself too seriously. Even the Obamas admitted they watch her talk show. Chelsea will be playing shows across the country from May to Novemeber.
