 Megadeth
Live DVD |
PR reports: MEGADETH and IMAGE ENTERTAINMENT
have confirmed the March 6, 2007 release of "THAT ONE NIGHT: LIVE IN BUENOS
AIRES" live DVD. The show was filmed live at Obras Stadium, Buenos Aires,
Argentina on October 9, 2005 before a rabid audience of over 25,000 fans.
The 90-plus minute film and CD features songs encompassing MEGADETH's career,
ranging from their 1986 album Peace Sells…But Who's Buying through 2004's
The System Has Failed. A CD version will be released March 27.
"This was one of the greatest nights of
my life," says MEGADETH founder and frontman DAVE MUSTAINE. "I am glad
I was able to document it and share it with you. 'That One Night' is a
lesson in metal fanaticism by some of the best participating, most frenzied,
and intense concert-goers in the world! I have waited ten years to show
the rest of the world how much Megadeth and Argentina love each other.
If seeing this doesn't convince you how lethal a Megadeth concert in Argentina
with some very close personal friends can be, don't worry…you're already
dead."[see full story for track info]- Click

Moore 10 Spot |
PR reports: While i-Tunes set the standard
by offering tracks for just $.99 each, the 10 Spot label has been launched
with the digital download customer in mind. Believing in the mantra “10
Tracks, 10 Bucks, Every Time” 10 Spot stands firm with their new price
point. The label’s debut artist Shannon Moore has been compared to The
Pretenders’ Chrissie Hynde, Aimee Mann, KT Tunstall and Sheryl Crow to
name a few, but ultimately has a style all her own. Shannon defiantly knows
how to deliver a song and captivate an audience. Born and raised in Houston,
Shannon received her first guitar at the age of 10 and completed her first
song When It Rains by the age of twelve. http://www.myspace.com/shannonmooremusic.com

Cure Night III |
PR reports: Heavy metal has always been a
very giving and unified community – despite what some of its detractors
may say. All you have to do is look at the billiards night that Concrete
Marketing has put together for Tuesday, March 6th at Slate Plus (54 West
21st Street, b/t 5th and 6th), which will benefit Pediatric AIDS, Leukemia
& Cancer Research. This is the third installment of Concrete Marketing's
themed charity events (first two covered Hair Metal and Prog Rock) which
will be all about Classic Heavy Metal! Think Maiden, Priest, Metallica,
and Sabbath. The DJ will be spinning the best of the best and we expect
everyone to break out their best leather to participate in the evening's
festivities.
Along with the loud music, it would not
be a metal night with out ample liquor and hot metal babes. Slate and their
distributors will be providing an open bar for the first hour while the
'Hustler Club' is providing the evening's dancers, Vivid starlets will
be mingling with patrons, the cast from "Stairway to Hell" will perform
a number from the show, Gwar will make an appearance in costume, and a
number of surprise celebrities have also RSVP'd.[see full story for more]-

Malajube has a deep understanding
of when to retard, build, and crescendo musically, making Trompe~L'Oeil
a quality listen. There are definite points that do not match the minimum
amount of masculinity expected in American music though, and make for a
difficult sell. (3 stars)
