Warner Drive CD Release at the Roxy Friday, Feb. 25th


Warner Drive is a straight up Rock and Roll band out of Hollywood, CA. Their music is intense, well-crafted and highly original. The band also puts on a high energy, balls to the wall, full on rock and roll show.

On Friday, February 25th, at the Roxy Thearte, Warner Drive will be releasing their brand new album, "K-Go", to a full house of fans.

This is Warner Drives second album and if its predecessor is any indicator of what to expect we're all in for nice lil surprise. Well written, catchy, original rock music.

This group has a ton of impressive accomplishments to date. It's one thing to be a good band, another to have good songs, and yet another to have the motivation and drive to do something with all of it. This is the case with Warner Drive. From selling out the Hollywood House of Blues to playing with the Killers, they did over 250 shows in 2010... thats very strong. It's made them a band you want to go see because you know it's going to be a great show.

So on Friday evening head to the Roxy and see an incredible rock and roll band play their asses off and drop their new album K-Go.

In the meantime, here's Warner Drive's brand new single, OK K-Go

Nic Adler of the Roxy Theatre interview on todays Sunset Strip with the Los Angeles Business Journal


CLICK FOR FULL ARTICLE

I picked up the Los Angeles Business Journal today and what did I see on the front cover? Nic Adler, manager and co-owner of the historic Roxy Music Theatre in an interview with the LA Biz Journal. I recommend you click the link below and read the whole article and get a feel for for the energies and circumstances that are actively shaping what we know of as the modern day Sunset Strip, a place we all love.

Adler discusses the interesting predicament of running a venue with such a rich musical and cultural history, while still pushing to innovate and take chances to keep competitive in the Los Angeles nightlife scene.

the Roxy's past is so intermingled with popular music, live music, music industry and "the scene" that as I read I couldnt help but think of how today's bands, especially local ones are factoring into this equation. We all know the stories (some of you were there) of the sold out guns and roses and motley crue shows and the energy (and revenue) of that past time and place. but we all know that that time is gone, and attention needs to be on the future- Theres definitely still great music (and working bands) happening all over the strip and with guys like Nic actively engaged in moving his club forward the resurgence is already underway. SSMF 2011 anyone?
