MAKE PLANS TO SEE THE BAND BEFORE WE DISAPPEAR!
Jun 13, 2009

Broken Vegas has been steadily playing shows for nearly 5 years straight with limited breaks. We have met some amazing people along the way and have developed an incredible fan base...perhaps the best fans any band could have!

We have spent a great deal of time putting together an amazing array of cover tunes to make our decades of rock tribute the best it can be, and it has become one of the most talked about sets in the Chicagoland area. In addition to that, we have been able to write and record original songs that people have really latched on to.

To that end, we have a great deal of BV music to get out to our fans. So, we are planning on hitting the studio late in August and will not be doing shows during our recording, mixing, etc...process. The goal would be to knock out the new recording ASAP and get that into the hot hands of our BV fans quickly and then get back out to play. Afterall, Broken Vegas is an original band that loves to rock the shows with the best rock tunes of the last 4 decades!

 So, the point is...let's get our Broken Vegas family together as often as possible over the next 2 months! We have some really cool shows at some really cool places where we can celebrate a great run of shows over these past years. Let's have a summer to remember!

Peace, love, and rock and roll

Mike, Beau, Ricky, Matt

SO WHAT DO YA PLAY????
Nov 30, 2008

Sometimes it's tough trying to get people who don't know us to understand what it is that we as the BROKEN VEGAS band actually do. Are you original? Cover? Combo? Acoustic? Well, the answer is YES! So going forward, our mission is to get that message out!

BROKEN VEGAS can play 4 decades of cover tunes from the Doors through Nickelback. We classic rock, we 80's hair rock, we grunge, we modern rock, and with our straight ahead original rock sound, we can weave those songs in as well to introduce you to the future of rock. (Van Halen, Foo Fighters, Motley Crue, Creed, Pearl Jam, 3 Days Grace, Nickelback, Marilyn Manson, Tom Petty, Prince, Anthrax, Beastie Boys, Daughtry, Bon Jovi, on and on and on and on). You could hear ANYTHING at a BROKEN VEGAS show!

 So spread the word...get to a show...BROKEN VEGAS is taking off and you don't want to miss a minute of it! IT'S NEVER THE SAME SHOW TWICE! So don't be fooled be imitations!  ( :

  Next show: DECEMBER 12th - DURTY NELLIES - Palatine, IL - 10p

September Variety!
Aug 21, 2008

Plenty of opportunities to see the band in September. So, since it's too hard to choose just one, we thought we'd mix up the show types and add even more tunes so that we stay true to our form of making it a truly different show each time out! Stripped, full out rock, new originals, covers, dancing pandas, and much, much more! See the "concerts" section for more details!

2 GREAT (and unique) SHOWS FOR AUGUST!
Jul 29, 2008

Because we like to keep things fresh and keep you on your toes (and because we listen to your requests!) we have added 2 shows for August that we think will be great opportunities to see us a little differently!

Show #1 - Sunday (yes Sunday!) - Aug. 10th - 3p - Sideouts in Island Lake! - "Budweiser and 95.1 WIIL Rock welcome Broken Vegas "stripped" (our acoustic show) to Sideouts for a Sunday Fun Day. An early set time on a Sunday afternoon and we'll play nearly 3 hours!!!

Show #2 - ALL AGES Original Rock Fest! - Sat. Aug. 16th - 7p (but the event starts at 1:30p!) - Penny Road Pub - South Barrington! (This show is outdoors!!!) Many of you have asked for an all ages event, and here is a perfect one! Some of the best original acts will congregate and rock the outdoor venue at Penny Road. Broken Vegas will go on after 7p for a short set, but there is going to be rock going all day!

SEE...What'd I say? Different eh? Acoustic, all-ages, Sunday, sponsored...all kinds of new, yet...it's always BROKEN VEGAS!

See you there!
