TOPPING OFF A SWEET SIXTEEN The festive exterior lighting will continue through the evening of July 4. Since its construction for the 1982 World’s Fair, the Sunsphere has been a signature landmark of Knoxville. Its observation deck is a popular attraction, drawing thou- sands of visitors. Because of the Sunsphere’s immense popularity, the City’s Spe- cial Events Department, in collab- oration with sponsor Lloyd’s Elec- tric Service Inc., chose to celebrate the City’s 225th birthday and Fes- tival on the Fourth with the special weeklong one-time lighting. At a cost of less than $5,000, Illuminating Design Inc. of Atlanta, Ga., will be temporarily installing LED lights that have been used by Disney, Space X, the U.S. Air Force and the National Football League. However, the commemorative lighting eventually could become a permanent amenity. Visit Knox- ville is seeking tourism grants that, if funded, would provide the per- manent infrastructure to illuminate the Sunsphere as a marketing tool to draw visitors and events to the City. “This is an exciting opportunity for Knoxville’s iconic landmark in Knoxville,” said Kim Bumpas, Pres- owell High’s Peyton Alford and Fulton’s Makenna Black are their school’s male and female Student-Athletes of the Year. ident of Visit Knoxville. “The teams Alford had a grade point average and earned run average that made him the Panthers’ honoree.

  • Joe Satriani WHAT HAPPENS NEXT
    Joe Satriani WHAT HAPPENS NEXT Ladies and Gentlemen, Meet Joe Satriani. On What Happens Next, the legendary guitarist reveals a new persona: himself. As fans know, Satriani hinted at the demise of his alter ego in 2015’s Shockwave Supernova album after that character threatened to battle Satriani for his very soul. As Satriani hit the road in support of the album, he discovered Shockwave Supernova, the latest in a long line of alien personas Satriani had created, was truly suffocating him—a process captured in a new documentary directed by Satriani’s son ZZ, which will debut at the Mill Valley Film Festival. “As I was doing the last few legs of the tour, I started to think ‘Wow, maybe this is real life.’ I am feeling like I should just drop this guy and figure out a way to do something very different.” What happened next was nothing short of a metamorphosis. “It was an internal artistic rebirth,” Satriani says. “I’m thinking, ‘No science fiction, no time travel, no songs about distant planets or aliens or anything like that.” Instead, Satriani looked inward, writing songs, he says, “about a human being, two feet on the ground, heart pumping, with emotions, dreams, and hopes. That seemed to be the direction I really was yearning for.” The stunning result is What Happens Next, the most accessible, straight forward rock album that Satriani has ever made. The set pulses with a vibrant energy from the dynamic opening track “Energy “to the stomp of “Catbot,” majestic crunch of “Thunder High On The Mountain,” spiritual grace of “Righteous” and sensuality of “Smooth Soul.” There’s a vulnerability to shedding the protective veneer that personas such as Shockwave Supernova provided.

    Chad Smith- At Home W ith Chad Smith "NewsBeat Special Edition" - 03/2002 Lounging beside his Piano-shaped pool in the hills overlooking Hollywood, Chad Smith throws back his head and cracks up. "I've done so many interviews over years, it's hard not to sound like a baseball player repeating the same old clichés." He mugs for the tape recorder: "I'm just taking it one song at a time!" Funny but true. Though not the first drummer with the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Smith became the band's most recognized after joining in 1989, drivind the Pepper's string of hit albums, while appearing nude on the cover of Rolling Stone and wearing an illuminated light bulb helmet at WoodstockII. Stunts like those earned him a bad- boy reputation, but watching Smith cradle his newborn daughter Ava, it's easy to see how his public persona defies reality. "I'm really just a regular guy," he admits. By Hollywood standards, he's right. Living in a house once owned by Cary Grant, Smith manages to live well in peacefull simplicity. The Furnishings are cozy and plush, while framed black & white photos. mainly of musicians complete the décor. "I started getting into photography four or five years ago," says Smith, who doesn't even own a camera. "There's a starkness to black & white that I like. I like the shadows." Classic shots of Jimi Hendrix, Max Roach, Elvin Jones, and Art Blakey line the hallways. Smith point to his prized photo, one of the few objects in the living room besides facing couches.

Some ticketless music fans looking for seats at the box office right before the big event were sent back out into the night, vowing to buy tickets to the rest of the series in advance, but in typical small-town, off-season fashion, most of those turned away came back in, happily having found attendees with spare tickets due to “no-show” friends still too buried in the snow to make it past the Shinnecock Canal. (For those who could not make it but purchased tickets that were not used by others, Nancy and Bay Street have offered that those tickets may be turned in for one of the future Fireside Sessions shows, as long as ticket holders contact the box office in advance.)

  • RHCP AU2019 Inc ADL
    Presented by Live Nation, Triple M and Mix 94.5 The summer forecast is hot, red hot…!! RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS Australia 2019 MELBOURNE, AU (November 16, 2018) - Live Nation is thrilled to announce that RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS will make a long-overdue and highly-anticipated return Down Under in 2019. Playing their first Australian headline tour in twelve long years, Red Hot Chili Peppers will bring their unique funk-rock sound and high-energy performances to Australia and New Zealand for arena and outdoor shows this coming February - March. Ticket pre-sales begin next week. After sold-out US and European tours during 2017 and 2018 the Peppers most recently undertook three massive headline shows at Lollapalooza South America. The Peppers are one of the most successful acts in rock history, often performing in front of stadium and festival audiences in excess of 100,000. The Australian tour will start with a rare intimate show at Hobart’s Derwent Entertainment Centre - the first time the LA-based band will have travelled to Tasmania. Following their one-off Tassie show, Red Hot Chili Peppers will play arenas in Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne; open air shows at Hope Estate in the Hunter Valley and at A Day on The Green at Mt Duneed Estate, Geelong, before their final Australian show at Perth’s NIB Stadium. The Peppers will also headline the 2019 Superloop Adelaide 500 post-race concert on March 3. The band is expected to play a set comprising of a selection of tracks such as ‘Dark Necessities’ lifted from their current and eleventh studio album, The Getaway (which spent two weeks at #1 on the ARIA Chart), plus greatest hits and classic album tracks such as: ‘By the Way’, ‘Can’t Stop’, ‘Snow (Hey Oh)’, ‘Otherside’, ‘Californication’, ‘Under The Bridge’ and ‘Give It Away’.

  • Red Hot Chili Peppers Are an American Alternative Rock Band Formed in Los Angeles, California in 1983
    1. INTRODUCTION The Red Hot Chili Peppers are an American alternative rock band formed in Los Angeles, California in 1983. For most of its career, the group has consisted of vocalist Anthony Kiedis, guitarist John Frusciante, bassist Michael “Flea” Balzary, and drummer Chad Smith. The band's varied musical style has fused traditional rock and heavy metal with various elements of funk, punk rock, hip hop, and pop. In addition to Kiedis and Flea, the group originally featured guitarist Hillel Slovak and drummer Jack Irons. However, Slovak died of a heroin overdose in 1988, resulting in Irons resigning. Irons was replaced briefly by D. H. Peligro, before the band found a permanent replacement in Chad Smith, while Slovak was replaced by an upcoming guitarist Frusciante. This line-up recorded the band's fourth and fifth album, 1989's Mother's Milk and 1991's Blood Sugar Sex Magik. Blood Sugar Sex Magik was a critical success and sold over twelve million copies. However, Frusciante grew increasingly uncomfortable with the band's success and left the band abruptly in 1992. Kiedis, Flea, and Smith employed Dave Navarro of Jane's Addiction for their subsequent album, 1995's One Hot Minute. It failed, however, to match the critical acclaim of Blood Sugar Sex Magik and sold less than half the copies of its predecessor. Shortly afterwards, Navarro was fired from the band due to creative differences. Frusciante, while absent from the band, developed a severe drug addiction and nearly died. In 1998, he completed rehabilitation and, at Flea's request, rejoined the band.
