Taylor Swift New ‘Band Hero’ Commercial
Posted on 05. Nov, 2009 by CSS.
Music sensation Taylor Swift takes the virtual stage in an all-new edition of Band Hero premiering this month.
Swift fans will be able to live their musical fantasy by performing hits like “Love Story,” “You Belong With Me,” and “Picture To Burn” as Taylor Swift — or alongside the star — on the Band Hero stage.
“Anything that encourages people to pick up an instrument and play, I’m fully behind. And, I’m really excited about Band Hero, because not only are fans getting to play my songs, but I’m actually in the game,” Taylor, a singer/songwriter/guitarist said of the game back in August. “There are so many awesome things that go into being in Band Hero, like getting to customize my band to look like my touring band, and it’s so cool for people to feel like they are experiencing one of my concerts. This is one of the closest things out there to going to see me perform!”

Spice Girls 2012 Olympic Reunion Performance
Posted on 02. Nov, 2009 by CSS.
The Spice Girls are in talks to perform during the opening ceremony of the 2012 Olympics Games in London, according to British music mogul Simon Fuller — who turned the group into the most successful girl band of all-time during their chart reign in the late ’90s.
“They stand for so much in British music history and I can’t think of a better time for them to get back together for another performance. The demand for them as a band is as strong as ever,” Fuller said.
“They will not want to be performing hits like Wannabe in their 40s, but it’’s amazing how often people talk about another reunion. And I think if they do it, it’’s going to be in 2012.”
The event will be seen by an estimated two billion people. The most successful British bands since The Beatles, the Spice Girls have sold more than 65 million records worldwide. In 2007, the hit-makers briefly returned for a reunion tour.

U2 Berlin Wall Performance November 5
Posted on 28. Oct, 2009 by CSS.
U2 will perform a free concert to help the city celebrate 20 years since the fall of the Berlin Wall, MTV announced on Tuesday evening.
The Irish rockers will perform in front of the Brandenburg Gate on Nov. 5 during the network’s Europe Music Awards, hosted by Katy Perry. The band’s performance will be beamed via satellite to the awards ceremony at Berlin’s nearby O2 World Arena.
The Berlin Wall fell Nov. 9, 1989, ending almost 30 years of separation between east and west. In a statement Tuesday, U2 manager Paul McGuinness said it would be exciting to be in Berlin, “20 years almost to the day since the wall came down.”
U2’s 1991 album Achtung Baby was partly inspired by the band’s stay in the city.
