Aka Dave Grohl, Joshua Homme and John Paul Jones–will be bringing their tour to The Joint on Saturday, April 17. Tickets go on sale Saturday, February 13 at noon.

The band is touring in support of their debut album that was released in November 2009 on DGC/Interscope Records. The self-produced 13-song record features the debut of the studio versions of the material Them Crooked Vultures unveiled at its August 9 debut at Chicago’s Cabaret Metro and played on a first series of shows throughout a handful of UK and European cities and portions of the eastern U.S., wrapping up with an October 15 appearance at New York’s Roseland Ballroom.

Many people have asked how the band was formed. Dave first came up with the idea of him, Joshua and John playing together. Joshua thought it was a great idea but wasn’t really aware how serious Dave was until Dave essentially set him and John up on a blind date, inviting both of them to his 40th birthday party in January 2009 at Medieval Times in Buena Park, CA. He had the two seated together and was able to observe their chemistry from his perch while being knighted and cheering on the Blue Knight.

When asked to describe the band’s sound, their response was “It sounds like the guy from Queens of the Stone Age singing and playing guitar with the bass player from Led Zeppelin and the drummer from Nirvana.”  Fans are encouraged to come up with their own descriptions when they check out this blend of great musicians at The Joint on April 17.

SATURDAY, February 13th
KIM KARDASHIAN HOSTS THE QUEEN OF HEARTS BALL AT LAVO
A PRE-VALENTINE’S DAY AFFAIR IN CELEBRATION OF LOVE

** Red Carpet** Media check in at 9:30 pm/Arrivals at 10 pm
Doors open at 10 pm.   Cover charges are as follows: Gentlemen $30, Ladies $20, locals are complimentary.

Tito Ortiz spent Sunday at LAVO watching the big game and having a belated 35th birthday celebration.  Joined by Jenna Jameson, mother to their twin boys and friends, Ortiz started the day downstairs at LAVO, which had been set up for ideal game watching with TV’s everywhere and an array of Italian offerings.  The party continued at with a late night dinner at TAO Asian Bistro, enjoying Sea Bass and a Steak special while chatting about his upcoming UFC reality show that is taping now.  After dinner they returned to LAVO where Ortiz was feted in the nightclub. Taking over a VIP table the group drank Mandarin and Seven-Up cocktails, except Jenna who didn’t drink at all.

One of the oddities about the Lettuce Entertain You Enterprises restaurant empire is that, for all the various concepts the company operates, there isn’t a single Mexican restaurant, at least not since Hat Dance was closed many years ago to make room for Nacional 27 (given N27’s longevity, not a bad move).

Well, all that will change sometime in the middle of March, when Lettuce unveils an as-yet-to-be-named Mexican concept.

It will be an informal cantina and taqueria with a mesquite-fired wood grill, and a fairly traditional menu that will feature organic chicken and gulf shrimp. The beverage program will include housemade sangria and “out of this world” margaritas. And for folks in a hurry, a walk-up taco stand up front will let customers grab and go, street-food style.

There is a catch. The restaurant is opening in Las Vegas, on the site of Lettuce’s Cafe Ba-Ba-Reeba outpost on the Vegas strip. That restaurant will close on February 15 to make room for the new concept.

Poker Player Vanessa Rousso, who rates among the top five women in poker history in all-time money winnings, celebrated her 27th birthday at TAO on Friday. GoDaddy and ALL IN Magazine helped host the festivities, which began with dinner at TAO Asian Bistro and ended at a VIP table in the nightclub. Rousso was surprised when presented with a cake and spent the night enjoying the sounds of DJ Crooked.

Friday night David Copperfield was spotted dining at LAVO. The magician was accompanied by a female companion and enjoyed the Roasted Beet Salad, Burrata Salad and Spaghetti with Kobe Meatballs.

TAO brought Vegas to Miami for the big game with a Superbowl Party at Wall Nightclub inside the W Hotel in South Beach.   A few notes from Friday night’s festivities include:

Celeb DJ Swizz Beatz, producer of Jay Z’s Empire State of Mind, playing the song over and over again for Alex Rodriquez and Derek Jeter who were sitting across from each other but never said hello.

Dave Annable of the hit  ABC show Brothers and Sisters and his girlfriend Odette Yustman walking the red carpet hand in hand.

Chris Rock arrived at TAO’s Super Bowl party asking for good friend Jamie Foxx, after learning he was not in the building he opted to sit with fellow funny guy David Spade until Jamie Foxx finally joined him and then they both jumped on the mic, with Chris Rock singing the Run DMC song line “I’m the KING of ROCK”.

Kristen Cavallari was ecstatic after visiting the Motorola gifting suite by the pool at TAO’s pop-up Super Bowl party at W South Beach where she received her new Droid phone.

After last week’s season premiere marking the show’s final season, “Lost” actor Josh Halloway attended TAO’s pop- up Super Bowl party at W South Beach’s Wet & Wall.

Saturday night Holly Madison hosted Holly Bowl, a pre-game party at LAVO.  The star of Peepshow and E!’s Holly’s World arrived sporting a #18 Peyton Manning jersey, Colts hat and striped knee socks, leaving no doubt she is rooting for Indianapolis in Sunday’s big game.

Joined by friends including Playboy Playmate Laura Croft who celebrated her birthday at TAO on Thursday, Holly fueled up for the big game by carb-loading on Italian favorites from LAVO’s kitchen before heading upstairs to the packed nightclub.  Taking over a VIP table she was a true cheerleader, dancing with pom poms to the sounds of DJ Skratchy while fans clamored to take pictures with the blond bombshell.  Holly even took to the stage as the crowd chanted her name over and over.  She grabbed the mic and screamed “Hello Lavo Las Vegas! Welcome to the Holly Bowl!”

Saturday night TAO hosted the Official After-Fight party for UFC 109 Relentless presented by Aliens vs. Predator. Fighter Rashad Evans arrived with wife LaToya followed shortly by his co-host for the evening, Rachelle Leah, host of UFC All Access and former Octagon girl.  Melvin Guillard, who won a UFC 109 preliminary fight, current WEC champ Urijah Faber and Mark Munoz, who is set to fight in UFC 112 taking place in Abu Dhabi all came to TAO for the post-fight party.

Rapper Flavor Flav arrived just after midnight and made his way around the club taking pictures.
