GOD FORBID Announce Hurricane Sandy Benefit Show!

On October 29th, 2012 the east coast experienced one of the largest Atlantic hurricanes on record that affected millions and destroyed thousands of homes, businesses and communities in its path. Hurricane Sandy made landfall in Atlantic City, New Jersey and ripped its way through New York City and other coastal communities. New Jersey melodic Metallers GOD FORBID were personally affected by this storm as were their fans, family and friends. They are very pleased to announce that on Friday, January 11th at The Boneyard in Atlantic City they will be participating in Revive The Shore Part III, a concert series that will benefit areas affected by Hurricane Sandy. Doors open at 6 PM and tickets are available for $15 dollars in advance or $18 at the door. More information can be found HERE.

Vocalist Byron Davis comments, “We would like to wish everyone a belated Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. With that being said we should take this time and reflect on how tragedy can turn ones world upside down; we need to be grateful for the ones we have in our lives and remember those who have lost everything.”

He continues, “This benefit show gives us the opportunity to let our fellow New Jerseyians know that we have not forgotten them and will honor their struggles with pride. For one night, we will all come together for remembrance and fun to raise contributions that will help re-build communities and people’s spirits that were affected around the Jersey Shore. We are looking forward to seeing New Jersey stand together united. See you there!”

GOD FORBID has been rocking out for nearly fifteen years, sweeping the nation with one of the most promising forms of melodic Thrash Metal. With their sixth album, 'Equilibrium' (available now via Victory Records) under their belts, GOD FORBID has been touring continuously across North America. They rounded out 2012 supporting SHADOWS FALL throughout the US and an extensive run on the Trespass America Tour with Metal heavyweights FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH, KILLSWITCH ENGAGE, TRIVIUM, EMMURE and more. Fans can expect to see more of GOD FORBID’s powerful and dynamic live stage performance this New Year and should stay tuned for upcoming tour announcements here.

Sandy Strikes At Sammy Hagar, His Atlantic City Bar Suffers Severe Damage - Images Available!

And news of the damage caused by that bitch Sandy continues to surface. One of the most affected areas was Atlantic City, New Jersey. It has been confirmed that Sammy Hagar‘s Beach Bar & Grill was severely damaged by the massive storm. Hagar says, "Hope all Redheads and Beach Bar & Grill staff are safe and dry! Here is a look at the damage — we will rebuild!"

Located at Bally's Atlantic City Hotel and casino since May 2010, the restaurant is only open from May through Labor Day weekend. Profits from the Beach Bar & Grill go to the Hagar Family Foundation, which supports local children’s charities.

Hagar owns nightlife venues in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, Las Vegas and St. Louis, and with his branding on this oceanfront deck, Bally's remade the beachfront bar an outdoor destination with nightly entertainment and all-day deals on drinks.

Record-setting shows are already in the books for 2012 in Miami Beach and Chicago, respectively. Expectations for EXXXOTICA Atlantic City debut couldn’t be bigger.

"Atlantic City was one of the first cities we looked at when we started EXXXOTICA, and we are proud that our 17th show will be there,” said J. Handy, director of EXXXOTICA. "Many of our exhibitors and attendees based around there have asked us to bring a show to that area since they miss the old East Coast Video Shows from the 1990’s, and as it is with everything we do, we’re looking to do this bigger and better than it’s ever been done before with many of the trademark features of all EXXXOTICA Expos, plus a few NEW and exciting events.”

Those attending the show can expect a jam-packed entertainment stage with amazing shows featuring everything from nationally known musical acts to the sexiest burlesque shows and more.
