MEAT PUPPETS JOIN FERGIE & MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE
FOR 2008 CIRCLE K TEMPE MUSIC FESTIVAL
The Meat Puppets, a born and bred Phoenix-based group who have been credited with inspiring bands such as Nirvana and Soundgarden, have been added to the rock-solid lineup of the 2008 Circle K Tempe Music Festival, Arizona’s largest music festival. This year, the award-winning event, which is being headlined by Fergie, My Chemical Romance and Puddle of Mudd, will take place on Friday, March 28 and Saturday, March 29 at Tempe Beach Park. Tickets are limited and on sale now through Ticketmaster and Live Nation. The Meat Puppets will play on Saturday.
The core of the Meat Puppets is Curt and Cris Kirkwood, a pair of brothers born and raised in Phoenix. As teenagers, the Kirkwoods played in local rock & roll bands, primarily playing mainstream rock and hard rock. After graduating from Brophy, the brothers formed the Meat Puppets in 1980 with drummer Derrick Bostrom. Unlike the Kirkwoods' earlier bands, the Meat Puppets were directly inspired by punk rock; they were so committed to keeping the music punk that they refused to rehearse. Out of all of the bands that made SST Records a towering force in the American underground during the mid-'80s, the Meat Puppets lasted the longest, surviving where other bands fell apart. Not only do they play hard, loud, and fast, but they also have elements of the blues-rock of ZZ Top, the ambling folk-rock of the Grateful Dead, and Neil Young's country-rock and hard rock. As they grew older, the band has matured musically, developing an accomplished instrumental technique and moving closer to the traditional hard rock that was always underneath their punk. But they never quite abandoned their punk roots, even when they briefly broke into the mainstream in the early '90s.
Now in its 6th year, the Circle K Tempe Music Festival has grown to be more than music and is the largest music festival in Arizona. This year, the event boasts three stages of entertainment featuring national, regional and local acts including Fergie, My Chemical Romance, Puddle of Mudd, Cowboy Mouth, the Chris Parker Project, Dorsey and many more. The Big Bang Dueling Pianos will also have their own stage in the thick of the crowd at this year’s event on both days where they will be entertaining the crowd between sets.
In addition to the 30+ musical acts performing on the three stages over the weekend, the event boasts a number of sports, musical and kid-friendly attractions as well. These include: the Bud Light Sports Lounge with plenty of flat screen televisions so festival attendees won’t miss a minute of NCAA March Madness action; the Gatorade Sports Village with a free interactive sports area that includes foosball, pop-a-shot basketball, air hockey and foose ball; the SRP Lil’ Rockers Area with hands-on interactive instruments and music-related arts and crafts as well as karaoke and a children’s musical museum; the Rockstar Rockin’ Vert Ramp with extreme sports demonstrations; the Dillard’s Rock’n’Roll Fashion Show; the Landshark Lounge; and several interactive media booths.
The event is sponsored by Circle K, the City of Tempe, the Tempe Convention and Visitor’s Bureau, Dillard’s, SRP, Cox Communications, Arizona State University, Desert Ridge Marketplace, Tempe Marketplace, Gatorade, Budweiser, Landshark Lager, Rockstar Energy Drink, Arrowhead Mountain Spring Water, Southern Comfort, Barefoot Wine, Pepsi, Talk and Go Mobile, Frito Lay, Mentos, the Arizona Republic, College Times, AZ Central, Amp AZ, 104.7 KISS FM, 98.7 The Peak FM, 99.9 KEZ FM, 101.5 JAMZ FM, 103.9 The Edge FM and T.E.A.M.

JOSS STONE MAKES HER FIRST TRIP TO THE VALLEY
For immediate release: 05 March 2008
JOSS STONE MAKES HER FIRST TRIP TO THE VALLEY
PHOENIX, AZ –The Sanderson Ford Lincoln Mercury Music Series presents multi-platinum recording artist and GRAMMY winner JOSS STONE in concert at 8 p.m. Wednesday, April 2nd at the intimate Celebrity Theatre.
JOSS STONE sold more than 7.5 million albums worldwide; was nominated for four Grammy Awards; appeared onstage with James Brown, The Rolling Stones, Stevie Wonder, Elton John, Patti Labelle, Mavis Staples, Donna Summer, and Smokey Robinson; sat for an interview with Oprah Winfrey; starred in two major ad campaigns for the Gap; and performed for more than 200,000 people at the 2005 Live 8 Concert in London - all before reaching the ripe old age of 19.
Now 20, the soul diva has sold over ten million albums worldwide, and has won two BRIT Awards and one Grammy Award. The artist’s latest album, Introducing Joss Stone, released in March 2007, sold 118,000 copies in its first week, and was the highest-ever chart debut by a female artist from the U.K. since Billboard began deriving chart information from Nielsen SoundScan data in 1992. The album went Top 10 in more than 15 countries fueled by the hit singles "Tell Me 'Bout It" and "Tell Me What We're Gonna Do Now," featuring Common.
The English soul and R&B singer-songwriter emerged to fame in late 2003 with her multi-platinum debut album, The Soul Sessions. Her second album, the also-multi-platinum Mind, Body & Soul, topped the albums chart in the U.K. and spawned the U.K. top ten hit "You Had Me". Both album and single each received one nomination at the 2005 Grammy Awards, while Stone herself was nominated for "Best New Artist".

2008 Honda Civic Tour Gives Fans the Chance to Hit the Pavement in Their Very Own Panic At The Disco-Customized Honda Civic Hybrid
Beginning Feb. 28 Visit HondaCivicTour.com for Shot at Winning One-of-a-Kind Ride
LOS ANGELES, Feb. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- The Honda Civic Tour is giving music lovers a shot at the ride of their lives by offering them a chance to win a Honda Civic Hybrid designed and autographed by the members of Honda Civic Tour '08 headlining act Panic At The Disco. Beginning Feb. 28, fans can enter to win this one-of-a-kind green machine by logging on to www.hondacivictour.com. Concertgoers will be able to see the car for themselves, and register to win it via an electronic kiosk at each stop of the nationwide tour, which kicks off April 10 in San Francisco.
"Not every band gets the opportunity to customize their own car," notes PATD guitarist Ryan Ross, "which is just one of the reasons the Honda Civic Tour is so cool. We spent a lot of time on the design to make sure it was something our fans would be truly excited about. And this particular car is a hybrid, so you really can't go wrong there."
Panic At The Disco will offer a preview of Honda Civic Tour '08 when they perform on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" March 25 to coincide with the release that day of their new album, Pretty. Odd. The tour has racked up sold-out shows in San Francisco, New York, Chicago, Atlanta and Orlando, with second dates added in those cities. In addition to these locales, PATD and Honda Civic Tour mates Motion City Soundtrack, The Hush Sound and Phantom Planet can be seen in East Rutherford, N.J., on May 4 as part of the Bamboozle music festival. Also appearing at Bamboozle: that highly coveted PATD-designed Civic Hybrid.
Panic At The Disco's eccentric aesthetic sensibility has resulted in a highly personalized reinvention of the car, making it the ultimate in fan memorabilia. Of course, as the leader in hybrid technology, Honda has seen to it that the Civic Hybrid gets an amazing EPA estimated 40 miles per gallon city and 45 miles per gallon highway for a combined 42 miles per gallon. The Civic Hybrid tricked out by PATD, meanwhile, comes with a cavalcade of tasty enhancements, many contributing to the exterior design's environmentally aware "Surreal Earth" theme (realized by Santini USA and DVS Designs with ALSA Corp Hawaiian Hues and Mystic paint and Candy Concentrates, the latter providing maximum color impact).
Anyone lucky enough to open the door to this beauty will find a custom-upholstered "time-machine" interior, with burgundy leather door panels and armrests, diamond-patterned leather seats and luxe buttoned headrests. The car's headliner -- the interior covering of the roof -- has been reconfigured in mocha suede and fitted with a clock that evokes Panic At The Disco's song "Nine in the Afternoon," the first single off their forthcoming album. If that weren't enough, the door panels, dash and floormats sport gold flourishes, and the windshield bears special accent lights. Perhaps even cooler is the crystal knob topping the gear shift, which has thus become the perfect device for transporting one back in time.
PATD's masterpiece also features a factory stereo head unit with a Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System(TM) combined with Alpine Electronics speakers, subwoofers and amplifiers; XM(R) Satellite Radio; 18-inch Konig Again racing-inspired rims with Dunlop Direzza DZ101 sport tires; Eibach Springs lowering suspension; a Honda Factory Performance (HFP) Aero Kit and Polished Exhaust Tip; and a Meguiar's professional car-care kit.
The desire to acquire this extraordinary work of vehicular art is expected to reach a fever pitch by the deadline for entry into the car-giveaway sweepstakes, July 31. (No purchase is necessary to enter; entry is limited to legal residents of the 48 contiguous United States and the District of Columbia who are 18 years of age or older.) Panic At The Disco will surely be thrilled for the winner of "their" Honda Civic Hybrid, but no one could blame them if they were also a little sad to see it go.
Honda began operations in the U.S. in 1959 with the establishment of American Honda Motor Co., Inc., Honda's first overseas subsidiary. Honda now employs more than 35,000 associates in North America. Honda currently has 14 manufacturing plants in North America, producing automobiles, light trucks, motorcycles, all-terrain vehicles, personal watercraft, engines, transmissions and other components. Nearly 8 of 10 Honda and Acura cars and light trucks sold in America are assembled in North America as well. Many of these products are now designed and developed at one of Honda's U.S. R&D centers. Honda annually purchases more than $17 billion in parts and materials from suppliers in North America.
Produced by Marketing Factory, the Honda Civic Tour brings innovation and environmental consciousness to the masses by combining the hottest in automotive technology with the hottest in music.
