It’s just nothing but soda bread and Jameson’s on the road.
It’s starting to feel a little leprechauny in here. It’s kind of making us want to fiddle and scream about beer and what gits the English are. With only 3 days to go until St. Patrick’s Day, Wasted Space is starting with the Celtic rockers. The Young Dubliners hit the stage with Reckless in Vegas tonight. Continuing their run-up to St. Pat’s, meanwhile, McFadden’s at the Rio is running Bloody Sunday with assorted green beer, car bomb and Irish breakfast specials. Click for more words and pictures »
Wait, what? The Iron Sheik turned up at Wasted Space last night because … we don’t know. Maybe someone told him Hacksaw Jim Duggan was waiting for him inside with an eight ball. Everyone who was at Wasted Space for The Alkaholiks were lucky the Sheik didn’t run around putting people in the Camel Clutch and teaching them his own personal brand of humility. Also fortunate that Michael Richards decided to stay at home.

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club took to Wasted Space inside the Hard Rock Hotel Sunday night. They’re touring a new album, Beat the Devil’s Tattoo, the eponymous single for which sounds like a poor man’s White Stripes with more slide guitar, or a dirge(ier) remake of “Oh, Death.” But that’s neither here nor there, as the Internet is mostly concerned with OK Go’s creating the Rube Goldbergiest video of all time. This goes with the first version of the same video involving a marching band and Ghillie suits. We’re not sure what any of this has to do with Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, but we appreciate any music video that has something in common with Call of Duty.
Perpetually leather-clad rockers Black Rebel Motorcycle Club brings their brand of Jesus and Mary Chain-influenced late-period alt-rock to Wasted Space inside the Hard Rock Hotel straight from the heady days of the early Aughts, when every band had to have a weirdly long name. We’re looking at you … And You Will Know Us by the Trail of the Dead. Warning: Band not as Motorhead-y as logo would suggest. Click for more words and pictures »
What? Johnny Cash would’ve loved KFC’s new grilled chicken. Try a bucket today.
It does seem like the kind of night that just makes you want to flip off a camera, doesn’t it? Johnny Cash tribute act Cash’d Out is at Wasted Space inside The Hard Rock Hotel for the Delia’s Gone-iest entertainment option of the evening. Jaxy and the Three 57s and Cadillac 9 open. It’s just in time for tomorrow’s release of Cash’s American VI: Ain’t No Grave on what would’ve been Cash’s 78th birthday. It’ll be the third Cash record released since his death in 2003. Your move, Tupac. Click for more words and pictures »

Solid weekend for Tito Ortiz, who not only celebrated his 35th birthday at Lavo with wife Jenna Jameson after watching the Super Bowl yesterday, but also spent Saturday night after UFC 109 adding insult to injury for Mark Coleman after his loss to Randy Couture.
It’s a classy move, but then, we suppose the UFC isn’t exactly the top hat-and-monocle set. (Note to self: Call Dana White re: Extreme Top Hat-and-Monocle Cagefighting league.)
Elsewhere in the weekend in UFC, Dana White and Chuck Liddell were hanging out at Wasted Space on Friday where they gave away 60 tickets to the Saturday fight at Mandalay Bay. This is exactly why Gary Bettman couldn’t get casual fans back after the NHL lockout. He wasn’t personally appearing in Toronto bars and handing out tickets. Click for more words and pictures »
