BROKEN VEGAS "update" - WE'RE BACK!!!

Jan 15, 2010

Hello BROKEN family!

Just a quick message to give you a little insight into what's what in BV land!

Great news! We're back!!! Starting Jan. 30th, we are officially back to the live scene and will begin our 2010 assault at Tailgaters in Bolingbrook. We'll continue on 2/19 at Ballydoyle in Aurora! We haven't seen many of you for a few months now so we'd love to get reacquainted!

In other news, the new BV recording is going VERY well! Drums, bass, and guitars are done. Mike is working on vocal tracks and is about half done. Then it's on to background vocals, fun overdubs, and then we mix it all together. We're thinking we'll have it by late March. Can't wait...

Well, spread the word about the upcoming shows....new songs, new vision, same great rockin' time!

BROKEN VEGAS...is ALL IN! Are you?

SERIOUSLY...WE'RE PROGRESSING!

Then, we'll be sending the finished product to New York for mastering and then to duplications with the finished product available by March. Look for announcements about hou you can get in your advance orders and a chance to pay the band a visit in the studio as a special guest and take in all of the behind the scenes fun!

We'll be back on stage 1/30/10 at Tailgaters and then 2/19/10 at Ballydoyle in Aurora. Much more on tap for after that and there are a lot of special announcements that are forthcoming!

Looking forward to seeing everyone soon! Thanks to all of you for the well wishes you've sent about this recording and what we are embarking on in 2010. We truly have the best fans around!

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 October and will only have limited live appearances during the writing process (Sept/Oct) and 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 at heart and soul an original band that loves to rock the live stage more than anything!

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
