Summer is here, people, and that means you're expected to step up your "recreational activities" game. Yes, I know the nice year-round weather fools you into thinking summer's not special, or that it may be an inconvenience in some way (and you're partially right), but that doesn't change the fact that the best live music—outdoor shows, major tours, kickass festivals—all of this ramps up severely during summertime. So here, then, is the first installment of "Go See A Show!", the GofG guide to the L.A. live music you ought to check out in the next two weeks. More»

When two or more major entities merge into a single collaborative, anything is possible. Sometimes the result is productive, like when Rick Rubin produces Jay-Z, or the combination Pizza Hut/Taco Bell. Other times, you end up with something terrifying and hegemonic, like The Soviet Union. And then sometimes you've just got to shake your head in wonder at how something seemed like a good idea to anyone involved. Maybe it's too early to call, but that's kind of where I'm at with the "re"united NKOTBSB (yes, that does stand for New Kids On The Block + Backstreet Boys), a staggeringly insane 9-person "Man Band," if only because if someone is still calls you "boy" at the age of 45, you have bigger problems than music.

Combine over 1,000 screaming fans, 3 customized birthday cakes, a nightclub smack-dab in the middle of a casino and you get the 40th birthday party for actor/producer Donnie Wahlberg, not entirely gone from his days as 1/5 of the 90’s boy band New Kids on the Block (where there is no doubt how he garnered those 1,000 fans).

The 90's are the new 80's, and this week is proving it more than ever.  Not only did we get the news that L.A. Gear would be resurrecting this fall, but New Kids On The Block celebrated their album release party last night.  And what better way to do so than by being welcomed by the ultimate doorman himself, Wass Stevens, at Marquee nightclub?
