FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE DECEMBER 15, 2009 BOULEVARD CASINO PRESENTS GEORGE THOROGOOD AND THE DESTROYERS LIVE AT THE RED ROBINSON SHOW THEATRE FRIDAY, MAY 14 Coquitlam, BC – It was in 1976 when blues-rock guitarist George Thorogood assembled the Destroyers who came out of Delaware with bassist Billy Blough and drummer Jeff Simon releasing their debut self-titled album shortly thereafter. After moving to Boston, they released their second album, Move It On Over which struck big with the title track … an amped-up cover of a Hank Williams tune. They later added saxophonist, Hank Carter and further fame came in the 80’s through a signing to EMI Records which released a series of Gold records by the band. These included 1982’s Bad to the Bone (the title track is his best-known composition and 1988’s Born to Be Bad with the swaggering hit, “You Talk Too Much.” The 90’s saw more hitmaking with 1993’s “Get a Haircut” from the album Haircut. In 2003, they released Ride ‘Til I Die followed by a 2004 compilation disc, Greatest Hits: 30 Years of Rock which went Gold and topped Billboard’s blues charts for sixty weeks and won the magazine’s award for “Blues Record of the Year.” Their most recent album, The Dirty Dozen was released this past summer reaching #1 on the Billboard’s Top Blues Albums chart. The band has expanded through the years and now includes Simon and Blough along with new members, guitarist Jim Suhler and saxophonist Buddy Leach. George Thorogood and the Destroyers continue to tour always drawing in large audiences and will be performing at Boulevard Casino’s Red Robinson Show Theatre in May, 2010.

The Cultural Practice of Localising Mediated Sports Music
Kaj Ahlsved THE CULTURAL PRACTICE OF LOCALISING MEDIateD SPORts MUSIC The crowd gathers. Hellos with friends and familiar faces are exchanged before I make my way to my familiar seat. The latest news is discussed with those sit- ting next to me: who is injured, who is going to win the game for us, and do we have a good referee today? Someone is munching on a grilled sausage; another is saving it for half time. A third sips his coffee while children happily eat their ice cream. The friend to my left wears long johns in July, the friend to my right usually arrives late carrying his lunch, a plate of kebab. A popular song plays in the background, flags are waving in the wind, and the sun shines over the local sporting event. Suddenly, a march blares from the PA system and in the blink of an eye the focus of the crowd shifts towards the pitch. The crowd claps along to the instrumental German military march Alte Kameraden while the home and away teams walk on to the pitch. The supporter group announces its presence by bursting into one of their familiar chants. It’s game time in Jakobstad/Pietarsaari. The above example describes my personal routine of going to an FF Jaro1 football game at Keskuskenttä in Pietarsaari, Finland. This routine is repeated nearly once a week during football season, only the weather differs from game to game. From a cultural and musicological standpoint, what is interesting about this scenario is the fact that a German instrumental military march, written by 1 From now on simply Jaro.
