DIO's "Finding The Sacred Heart - Live In Philly 1986" To Be Released Soon!

Ronnie James Dio made sure to always leave a lasting impression anytime he stepped on stage. To say that the Heavy Music world misses DIO is an understatement, but thankfully Niji Entertainment and Eagle Rock Entertainment are making sure that his legacy is always represented on a global scale.

This is why on May 28, 2013 they will be unleashing "Finding The Sacred Heart - Live In Philly 1986". This historic concert was recorded at The Spectrum in Philadelphia on June 17, 1986 during the second leg of the “Sacred Heart” tour, which featured NEW guitarist Craig Goldy. The show was issued in an edited form first on VHS and then DVD. Now for the first time, the full concert is being released as a double LP in the original running order and with remastered sound. It’s an extraordinary live show with a giant animatronic dragon towering over the stage and spectacular laers and pyrotechnics.

The DVD and Blu-ray versions offer fully restored film footage of the complete concert available for the first time. The audio on the 2CD and double LP is fully remastered.

The show features the Dio classics “Holy Diver,” “Don’t Talk To Strangers,” “Rock ‘n’ Roll Children,” “Sacred Heart,” “Stand Up And Shout,” “Rainbow In The Dark,” and “We Rock” plus other classic tracks from Ronnie James Dio’s career including “Heaven And Hell,” “Long Live Rock ‘n’ Roll,” and “Man On The Silver Mountain”.

Bonus Features [on DVD and Blu-ray] include a "Sacred Heart Tour" featurette, an interview from ’86 and a separate interview with Ronnie & Craig, as well as the “Rock ‘n’ Roll Children” music video and a Behind The Scenes feature.

Ronnie James Dio and the band deliver a blistering live performance featuring tracks from their first three albums alongside Black Sabbath and Rainbow classics. For those who never got to experience the powerful vocals and mammoth stage prowess of Ronnie James Dio before his passing in 2010, this is the perfect opportunity to view this legendary icon in all his glory.

Andrew W.K. Announces "The Human Party Machine Solo Tour"!

The self proclaimed King Of Partying, Andrew W.K., has announced plans to embark on his first-ever American solo tour, "The Human Party Machine". During this spring/summer jaunt, W.K. will be armed with only a microphone, a keyboard, and the will to survive as he brings his party to intimate club and bar settings across the country.

"“I’m truly excited and also terrified by what will happen at these shows",” proclaims W.K. “"It’s designed for maximum chaos and to put us as close to the abyss as possible. But we’re going to survive and thrive, because we’ll be in it together, arm-in-arm and heart-to-heart, becoming a human party machine made of blood, love, and courage. Get your friends together and let’s fucking do this!”"

The shows will find W.K. performing his fan-favorite party anthems, including "“Party Hard",” "“We Want Fun",” "“Long Live The Party",” "“I Get Wet",” "“You Will Remember Tonight",” and more.

On and off the stage, Andrew W.K. has maintained a furious delivery, a charismatic charm, and an energized enthusiasm that has kept his audience growing and excited. In recent years, W.K. has turned his positive message into motivational lectures at such Ivy League universities as Harvard and Yale, as well as speaking at a national My Little Pony convention this past fall.
