Ghostbar has become a magnate for celebrities
in Dallas.
In the last two years, the nightlife hot spot has attracted Jessica Simpson
and Tony Romo (locale of the special New Year’s Eve kiss); Paris
Hilton; Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz; Brody Jenner
(MTV’s The Hills and Laguna Beach); Luke, Andrew and
Owen Wilson with gal pal Kate Hudson (first public sighting of
the “it” couple); Justin Timberlake; Lily Tomlin; Jamie Foxx;
Clint Eastwood; Chris Tucker (Rush Hour, Jackie Brown)
and Producer Steve McEveety (Braveheart, Passion of the Christ, We
Were Soldiers, Immortal Beloved), to name a few.
Last year, Ghostbar’s One-Year
Anniversary shined with luminaries Nick Cannon and celebrity DJ Steve
Aoki who both manned the turntables, model/actress Devon Aoki, and
socialite/model Brittny Gastineau. This year’s anniversary will
continue the tradition of being a memorable star-studded event.
ABOUT THE CELEBRITY HOSTS:
Travis McCoy of Gym Class
Heroes,
traveling this summer on the Warped Tour, has made a name for himself, first
appearing on a nationwide MC Battle on MTV’s show Direct Effect in 2002
in addition to several side music projects such as Bernie Allen, Tequila
Mockingbird, and music video appearances. This will be McCoy’s second
visit and sleepover event at Ghostbar (his first was the Labor Day Sleepover in
2007).
As the Ambassador of Hip-Hop, Biz Markie first surfaced on the music scene in
the early '80s as a pioneer of Beat Boxer & Emcee with DJ Marley Marl & the Legendary
Juice Crew All-Stars. He broke into the music industry with such songs as
Make the Music With Your Mouth, Biz and The Vapors and his
mainstream hit Just a Friend. He has made guest appearances on
albums by The Beastie Boys, Cannibus, Morcheeba, and Will Smith; toured with
Chris Rock earlier this year; and even played an alien parody of himself in the
movie Men in Black II. In 2005, he appeared and won the challenge
on the first season of Celebrity Fit Club, a reality tv series which
followed eight overweight celebrities as they try to lose weight through diet
and exercise. Biz Markie is known to have an impeccable collection of
vinyl and sneakers. This spring, he made history as an emcee for a party
in India
for billionaires Shashi and Ravi Ruia, collecting a record appearance fee of Rs
350,000. (Wikipedia)
British bloke Luke
Solomon has
been a fundamental part of the underground house scene for over a decade now
and his contribution over the years has been nothing short of phenomenal.
Luke began his professional DJ career in 1990 with a residency at Middlesex
University, which is where he met cohorts Justin Harris, Rob Mello, Kenny
Hawkes and eventually Derrick L. Carter, whom he formed the legendary Classic
Recordings. Luke also formed a recording partnership with Justin Harris,
and the two are the masterminds behind the label Music For Freaks and their
band Freaks, which enjoyed a top ten hit last year with the re-release of their
classic The Creeps. In January 2008, Luke Solomon debuted his
first solo album, The Difference Engine, released on Rekids, one of Britain’s
top-notch dance labels.
Looking back at artists who have
shaped the face of popular music over the years, each possessed an originality
that could be embraced by listeners irrespective of the style. The
Big Red Rooster follows
in this path with a mission of fusing its members’ creative visions into a
unique blend of undeniably appealing music. Ambitious threads of hip hop,
rock, R&B, funk, reggae, and many other styles permeate their highly
original sound that they continually refine and are proud to call their
own. When these talented six artists – EJ Anthony (drummer), Phil Griffin
(bassist), DJ PAC, Ted Lauck (guitarist), MC Multi-Id, Reyez (vocalist) –
perform live, their bold-faced passion, relentless energy, and genuine
camaraderie ensure that they rouse the crowd and rock the party.
