Don your pancho and grab some amigos because it’s time for some good ol’ fashioned bingo!

Yo Miami’s bringing you the same game you remember playing as a kid, only now you win free booze and tacos instead of those crappy plastic dinosaurs. Our host, Casa de HaHa’s Daniel Reskin, will keep you on the edge of your seat (or falling out of it) while he calls out the numbers and entertains you with his antics in between games.

Prizes are going to include everything from free drink tickets, to tacos, to t-shirts and more! And make sure you get there in time for the last game which’ll be filling out a full card instead of just 1 row and the prize will be a package including a $25 bar tab! (Oh yea, did we mention the 1/2 price drinks from 5-8pm?)

So come out, get your senior citizen on, and learn why the old folks do it right.

As a special treat we have the artist GG painting one of the picnic tables outside! He’s going to be starting earlier on and finishing up during Bingo. He’s also offering up one of his “Fado” character tshirts as one of the prizes.

About Amalia…

Amália Leandro’s paintings have been shown in Miami Beach at “Art for Life” at Halo, “Art for a cause gallery” 2007, Tangerine restaurant, Crobar Miami during Art Basel 2004, and her paintings were on display at Blue from 2004-2009. She was born in Toronto, Canada to Portuguese parents, and after many travels she has made Miami her home base for the past 12 years.
In 2004, her passion for painting took her to the Art Center on Lincoln Road in Miami Beach, where she studied briefly with Pablo Contrisciani. It was there that she created the basis of her “Blue” series.
Amália is also a DJ/songwriter/spoken word artist, spinning DJ sets that range from a small lounge,corporate event, private party, mega club or after hours. Amália was featured in the Ocean Drive Magazine October 2004, Beach Patrol section, as one of “The people who make Miami”. She was also on the cover of The Miami New Times, May 6-12 2004, where she appears as one of Miami’s tech-house djs. A “renaissance gal”, as quoted in Ocean Drive Magazine.
Her art work is inspired by her love of House Music, dancing, and living in Miami Beach. “Art is an expression of what you see, or what you feel. It doesn’t have to mean anything. It just is.”- Amália Leandro

Orchestra Miami to present the Florida premiere of Kurt Vonnegut’s
“An American Soldier’s Tale”
In celebration of iconic American author Kurt Vonnegut’s 90th birthday, Orchestra Miami will present the Florida premiere of “An American Soldier’s Tale”, with music by Igor Stravinsky and new libretto by Kurt Vonnegut. Vonnegut’s gripping libretto replaces the traditional story by
C. F. Ramuz with the true story of private Eddie D. Slovick, who in 1945 became the only U.S. soldier to be executed for desertion since the Civil War.

Commissioned in 1993 by New York Philomusica, this edgy and provocative piece was not heard again until 2006, after a legal fight with the Stravinsky estate. Rarely performed since the 2006 New York revival, Orchestra Miami has obtained exclusive rights from the Vonnegut Estate to perform this important work on the occasion of what would have been Mr. Vonnegut’s 90th birthday.

Seven musicians from Orchestra Miami will perform the original Stravinsky score, conducted by Elaine Rinaldi. Directed by renowned Miamian Michael Yawney, the play will feature Ivan Lopez, Kristoff Skalet, Francesca Toledo and Matthew Glass.

The performances will be on Saturday, November 10 at 8:00 at PAX (Performing Arts Exchange), located at 337 SW 8th Street, Miami, FL 33130 and Sunday, November 11 at 7:00 PM at the Pinecrest Gardens’ Banyan Bowl, located at 11100 SW 57 Avenue, Pinecrest, FL 33156. Tickets to the PAX performance are $25 and tickets to the performance at Pinecrest Gardens are $25 and $30. Tickets can be purchased online at www.orchestramiami.org or by calling 800-838-3006. $10 student rush tickets will be available at the door for students with valid ID.

Neither Yemeni nor a blues band, this nine-piece Israeli-American group has recently taken the international music scene by storm. Conceived from vocalist Ravid Kahalani’s vision, Yemen Blues is an explosive brew of West African grooves and American jazz, blues and funk.

Squeeze!” an hour-long theatrical post-minimalist composition based upon the oft-overlooked 94th chapter of Herman Melville’s Moby Dick.  Written for The Living Earth Show in 2012, the piece features custom-designed quartertone instruments (a vibraphone and a guitar) to present a warped hour-long etude, interspersed with theatrical staging and textural, performance-based “interruptions.”  “Squeeze! Squeeze! Squeeze!” explores the distorted soundscapes of Pink Floyd and The Jesus and Mary Chain, the physical and mental endurance of Michael Gordon’s “Timber,” the seemingly indeterminate theatrical events of John Cage’s “Happenings,” and the meditations on the relationships between art and sexuality found in the works Julius Eastman.

Guitarist Travis Andrews and percussionist Andrew Meyerson are The Living Earth Show, a San Francisco-based classical duo, presenting dynamic performances of amplified, electro-acoustic contemporary chamber music.  The Living Earth Show’s upcoming season includes performances of works written for the group by such composers as Samuel Carl Adams, Timo Andres, Adrian Knight, Luciano Chessa, Dan Becker, Chris Cerrone, Nick Vasallo, Andy Akiho, Ken Ueno, Jon Russell, and Damon Waitkus. The season will also feature the United States premiere of Brian Ferneyhough’s Renvoi/Shards, composed in 2008 for quartertone vibraphone and quartertone electric guitar.

Buck and the Preacher –
A 1972 American Western film starring Sidney Poitier as Buck and Harry Belafonte as the Preacher. Buck is a trail guide leading groups of former slaves trying to homestead in the West, immediately after the American Civil War. The Preacher is a swindling minister of the “High and Low Order of the Holiness Persuasion Church”. Together, they protect a wagon train from bounty hunters. (Adventure/Comedy/Drama/Western)

No Way Out –
The Biddle brothers, shot while robbing a gas station, are taken to the prison ward of the County Hospital; Ray Biddle, a rabid racist, wants no treatment from black resident Dr. Luther Brooks. When brother John dies while Luther tries to save him, Ray is certain it’s murder and becomes obsessed with vengeance. But there are black racists around too, and the situation slides rapidly toward violence. (Drama/Film-Noir)

The Best Years of Our Lives –
The story concentrates on the social re-adjustment of three World War II servicemen, each from a different station of society. Al Stephenson returns to an influential banking position, but finds it hard to reconcile his loyalties to ex-servicemen with new commercial realities. Fred Derry is an ordinary working man who finds it difficult to hold down a job or pick up the threads of his marriage. Having had both hands burnt off during the war, Homer Parrish is unsure that his fiancée’s feelings are still those of love and not those of pity. Each of the veterans faces a crisis upon his arrival, and each crisis is a microcosm of the experiences of many American warriors who found an alien world awaiting them when they came marching home. (Drama/Romance/War)

Iron Weed –
Albany, New York, Halloween, 1938. Francis Phelan and Helen Archer are bums, back in their birth city. She was a singer on the radio, he a major league pitcher. Death surrounds them: she’s sick, a pal has cancer, he digs graves at the cemetery and visits the grave of his infant son whom he dropped; visions of his past haunt him, including ghosts of two men he killed. That night, out drinking, Helen tries to sing at a bar. Next day, Fran visits his wife and children and meets a grandson. He could stay, but decides it’s not for him. Helen gets their things out of storage and finds a hotel. Amidst their mistakes and dereliction, the film explores their code of fairness and loyalty. (Drama)

Chops –
CHOPS is a documentary about a high school jazz ensemble in Jacksonville, Florida that is accepted to compete in the Essentially Ellington Festival at Lincoln Center in New York City against other top-tier high school jazz ensembles. The film interviews individual musicians about their love of their instruments and the music itself, and shows the ensemble as they face the challenges inherent in learning and practicing music as difficult as that composed by Duke Ellington. After the hours of practice, they arrive in New York City and meet Wynton Marsalis, who helped launch (and is one of the judges in) the Essentially Ellington Festival. (Documentary/Music)

Yentl –
Dramatization of “Yentl, the Yeshiva Boy,” by Isaac Bashevis Singer (1902-1991); originally published in Yiddish c. 1960, then in English c. 1983. The story: In an Ashkenazic shtetl in Poland, Yentl Mendel is the boyishly klutzy daughter and only child of long widowed Rebbe (“Talmud Teacher”) Mendel, who teaches Talmud (a codification of Jewish Law) to local boys – and to Yentl, but secretly because girls were not allowed to learn the law in those days. When her father dies, Yentl is all alone in the world. She takes the momentous decision to leave the village and – disguised as a boy and calling herself by the name of her late brother, Anshel – seeks and gets admitted to a Yeshiva, to study the texts, traditions, subtleties and complexities of Torah, Talmud, etc. She befriends Avigdor who is engaged to Haddas, but her family discovers his brother committed suicide so they call off the wedding (in case Avigdor possesses the same madness)… (Drama/Musical/Romance)

Paris Blues –
Ram Bowen and Eddie Cook are two expatriate jazz musicians living in Paris where, unlike America at the time, Jazz musicians are celebrated and racism is a non-issue. When they meet and fall in love with two young American girls, Lillian and Connie, who are vacationing in France, Ram and Eddie must decide whether they should move back to America with them, or stay in Paris for the freedom it allows them. Ram, who wants to be a serious composer, finds Paris more exciting than America and is reluctant to give up his music for a relationship, and Eddie wants to stay for the city’s more tolerant racial atmosphere. (Drama/Music/Romance)

Patch of Blue –
Accidentally blinded by her prostitute mother Rose-Ann at the age of five, Selena D’Arcy spends the next 13 years confined in the tiny Los Angeles apartment that they share with “Ole Pa”, Selena’s grandfather. One afternoon at the local park, Selena meets Gordon Ralfe, a thoughtful young office worker whose kind-hearted treatment of her results in her falling in love with him, unaware that he is black. They continue to meet in the park every afternoon and he teaches her how to get along in the city. But when the cruel, domineering Rose-Ann learns of their relationship, she forbids her to have anything more to do with him because he is black. Selena continues to meet Gordon despite Rose-Ann’s fury, who is determined to end the relationship for good. (Drama)

Calling all ghouls and ghosts… it’s Serendipity 3’s 1st Halloween on Lincoln Road and will feature three deliciously gruesome cocktails for the occasion. Not for the faint of heart, these cocktails might be an eye sore, but will do more than spook the taste buds.

The Brain Hemorrhage is a $7 shot of peach schnapps and Bailey’s with a few drops of oozed grenadine, surgically concocted to create the illusion of a bleeding brain.

The Bleeding Heart Martini is a $10 delicious libation of vodka, simple syrup and candied baby beets, the sight may be ghastly, but those brave enough will fall in love.

The Pumpkin Martini is a $10 sinful blend of vanilla vodka, amaretto, pumpkin purée, a splash of simple syrup and a dash of cinnamon mixed together for a sweet treat.

The witches are brewing their delicious kettles of concoctions at Serendipity 3 on Lincoln Road every night up to and including Halloween to get poisoned by one of their potions.

In 1966, the Beatles stopped touring. Of course, they kept making records. Really great records. They just never performed them live.

The Fab Faux picks up where the Beatles left off as live performers. The Beatles tribute–heralded as the best in the world by everyone from Rolling Stone to Paul McCartney–performs the Beatles’ latter records as faithfully to the recordings as possible. They leave the wigs at home.

The group is led by Jimmy Vivino of Conan O’Brien’s band and Will Lee of David Letterman’s. Lee is a Grammy winner and has performed with three of the Beatles. The Fab Faux is five piece–a necessity for performing the Beatles’ complex masterpieces–and brings a horn section and a string section to round it out.

It’s been a year and a half since the Fab Faux’s last visit to south Florida. In that time, their live appearances have only generated more buzz. In Los Angeles last year, Gary Oldman made a surprise appearance and introduced the band, while Bill Mayer, Bill Bob Thornton, Jeff Bridges and many more famous Beatles lovers looked on.

At their Parker Playhouse concert, the Fab Faux will perform Magical Mystery Tour in its entirety, followed by a second set of selections from other albums. The Fab Faux is the one band any Beatles fan must see. http://www.thefabfaux.com/

Opening Reception – Following the Line
Friday, 11/02/2012, 06:00 pm – 09:00 pm
LopezNicola-BoneDry-webGirls’ Club
117 NE 2nd Street ,
Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33301
Webpage Link

Girls’ Club presents Following the Line, featuring works by thirty international artists using hand-drawn line as the primary unit of expression. Curated by Miami gallerist Carol Jazzar, the works in Following the Line are created in many mediums, including graphite, ink, colored pencil, layered mylar, etching, aquatint, lithography and hand-drawn animation.

Manifesting the close connection to the artist’s hand and thought, drawings have historically been defined as intimate. Some are smaller in scale. Some are conceived as preparatory to final works in other media. Drawings may commit fleeting, ephemeral concepts to paper, itself a less permanent support. The persistent vitality of drawing today, developing alongside high tech digital and moving image media, will be emphasized. Linear works that owe their inspiration to drawing will craft an “expanded” definition of drawing in use today.

A catalog designed by Augusto Mendoza will accompany the exhibition and includes essays by curator Carol Jazzar, independent curator and writer Sue Spaid, and poetry by Denise Duhamel.

A year-long schedule of artist talks, workshops and film screenings invite the public to share Girls’ Club’s investigation of drawing in contemporary art. For details of events visit: http://girlsclubcollection.org/events.

Exhibition on view:
November 2, 2012 – September 30, 2013

Exhibition: November Contemporary
November 2 – November 24, 2012

November Contemporary is the 6th event of a series that features painting, sculpture, installation, photography, performances, collage and video of international artists.

Nina Torres Fine Art has established the first waterfront gallery in the heart of Downtown Miami, in what it promises to be Miami’s true cultural destination: the Miami Arts & Entertainment District.

The brand new 8,000 square feet gallery space across the street of Margaret Pace Park is located at 1800 North Bayshore Drive, in a high-rise building adorned with fountains and with breathtaking views of Biscayne Bay, Miami Beach and the Port of Miami.

About her invitation to join at the group show November Contemporary the young artist is very happy. But what is it that makes her work so different? Carmen Graber replies: “My acrylic paintings are often formed by photographs I find in magazines, books and other visual media. The focus of my interest lies on composition and the protagonists’ pose in the images, as well as the openness in interpreting their actions. A special meaning lies in the gesture that indicates cultural, social or political discrepancies. In my work, the motive of the child is a symbol not only for what is in the present but also always for what will be in the future and therefore stands for duration. Although the motifs are taken from reality, I have taken them from their context. The result is equivalent to my inner point of view. You can see it in my works Comprehension, Summerday, Amor and Girl with Cat.”

Carmen Graber, born 1979 in Landau/ Germany, is constantly on the search for contradictions, inconsistencies or alienations. In her latest series Carmen Graber expands her art to the integration of ad-hoc photos that show spontaneously taking scenes of the day-to-day live. The figures seem to act as on stage. She succeeds in reflecting the discomfort and depression of modern society in simple gestures, posture and directness of the people on display with their dreamy facial expression.
The recent exhibition at Nina Torres Fine Art Miami offers an opportunity in-depth reflection upon Carmen Graber`s individual works – to be visited from November 2 to November 24, 2012.

Participants of the USDC will get a taste of what it’s like to be in the pros with this event, which will include both Solo (non-caged) Class and Tandem (caged) Class competitions with driver payouts to the top three in each class. A panel of judges will be on hand to score each participant based on four criteria of Speed, Angle, Line and Style.

Pre-registration for Solo Class costs $75 per person, or $150 for Tandem Class, both including a driver and two crew members. Payouts for Solo Class will be $250 for first place, $150 for second place and $75 for third place.

Preliminary vehicle inspections for the event are available by appointment at Jackson Performance in Pompano Beach, as well as during weekly Wednesday meetings at Starbucks near Sheridan Street and Flamingo Road in Pembroke Pines.

Registration is open to those 18 and older (or 16 with parental consent) with proper driver safety equipment, and who have use of an automobile that meets USDC technical requirements. To register, please visit http://www.jackson-performance.com/ and click on the USDC link to the left.

One of the world’s most powerful sports figures, former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson, will bring his popular Broadway show, MIKE TYSON: UNDISPUTED TRUTH, to The Pavilion at Seminole Casino Coconut Creek on Saturday, November 10 at 9 p.m. This will be the only performance in Florida, giving fans a special chance to see the show and learn more about the star.

MIKE TYSON: UNDISPUTED TRUTH is a rare, personal look inside the life and mind of one of the most complicated men ever to wear the heavyweight belt. Directed by Academy Award nominee Spike Lee, this riveting one man show goes beyond the headlines, behind the scenes and between the lines to deliver a must-see theatrical knockout.

For nearly three decades, Tyson has been a legend both in and out of the ring. Tenacious, talented and thrilling to watch, Tyson embodies the wit and flair of a truly larger-than-life personality. With nicknames like “Iron Mike,” “Kid Dynamite,” and “The Baddest Man on the Planet,” it’s no surprise that Tyson was once the most feared fighter in all of boxing. He won his first 19 professional bouts by knockout, 12 of them in the first round, and one look at the long list of his victories and accomplishments is all that it takes to see that Tyson is one of boxing’s all-time greats.

While most fans know that he was once the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world, few realize that before Tyson, no boxer had ever won the three biggest belts in prizefighting – the World Boxing Council, World Boxing Association and International Boxing Federation world heavyweight titles. He holds the record as the youngest boxer to achieve that feat at the age of 20, and none, besides Tyson, have ever owned them simultaneously.

Throughout his career, Tyson became well known for his fierce and daunting boxing style. He was ranked No. 16 on Ring Magazine’s list of “100 Greatest Punchers of All Time” and No. 1 in the ESPN.com list of “The Hardest Hitters in Heavyweight History.” He has also been inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame as well as the World Boxing Hall of Fame.

Tickets start at $145* and are available at www.ticketmaster.com. *Additional fees may apply

The chic affair draws upon the artistic talents of Haute Couture Fashion Designer Ozcar G., Photographer Yobe Crespo, and Fine Artist Leonor Anthony, featuring a SILENT AUCTION of exclusive, one-of-a-kind items, designed and handcrafted by the evening’s showcased artists:

An original Ozcar G. couture evening gown
Five pairs of pointe shoes belonging to the ballet’s principal dancers, hand-embellished and decorated by Ozcar G., himself
Five enlarged, original, autographed photographs of Miami City Ballet’s leading ladies modeling Ozcar G.s’ designs, by Yobe Photography
Original fine art work by Leonor Anthony
Handcrafted Shiroiy D. Cama White Sapphire Earings

MIAMI, FL (October 1, 2012) – At the forefront for the 2012-2013 season open of the Miami City Ballet, Haute Couture Designer Ozcar G., Fine Art Photographer Yobe and Painter Leonor Anthony fused arts to create a fundraiser towards the Shoe Fund of the Miami City Ballet via Project Pointe. This collaborative effort between fashion designer, fine art photographer, and painter produced a final outcome to be exhibited and auctioned during the opening night. Project Pointe was imagined by Jennifer Carlynn Kronenberg, in order to raise funds towards the costly toe shoes worn by ballerinas, pointe shoes last for one performance only, and the Miami City Ballet dancers go through more than 3,000 pairs per season with an average cost of $70 per pair. A one-night-only event is planned for Friday, October 19, 2012 in the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts – Peacock Rehearsal Room as part of the Artist’s Circle VIP Reception. The auction will be open to the general audience attending the performance that night. Participants of the auction will be invited to the Artist’s Circle Dessert Reception post production, where the winners will be announced.

The exhibit will feature a one-of-a-kind gown by designer Ozcar G. worn by principal dancer Jennifer Carlynn Kronenberg, which will be auctioned that night. Alongside the dress there will be five one-of-a-kind pointe shoes beautifully embellished by designer Ozcar G.— these toe shoes have been previously worn by the principal dancers for the 2012-2013 season (Tricia Albertson, Mary Carmen Catoya, Jeanette Delgado, and Patricia Delgado). “Every gown I make has a story and this particular one is very dear to me and I want the Miami City Ballet and one very lucky lady to take it home and at the same time benefit this magnificent cause” said Ozcar G. when presenting this gown for the auction.

As an integral part of the auction, Yobe, the photographer, contributed five photographic master pieces and these pieces will be on exhibit during the reception prior to program one, during the intermissions and post production. The photographs showcase the five principal dancers wearing five unique gowns by Ozcar G. and which are face mounted using a contemporary and unique way onto acrylic. These fine art photographs also transpired into a limited edition Poster designed by Yobe, which will be exhibited and presented to the patrons of the Miami City Ballet whom offer donations above $100 towards Project Pointe. “Each of the ballerinas gave their very best to Project Pointe and the collaborative effort created a synergy which in turn became this amazing work of art and ultimately will benefit the Miami City Ballet.” expressed photographer Yobe.

In addition to the other auction items,Expressionist artist Leonor Anthony has contributed an original oil on canvas masterpiece executed in her signature style and created specifically for the Miami City Ballet.This painting depicts ballerina pointe shoes painted on a large format ( 36” X 48”) and aptly named “In Her Shoes”. Leonor explains what inspired her: “I chose to paint this particular image because the shoes are the vehicle that enables the dancer to show us their craft. I wanted to express the wear and tear on the feet, as well as the shoes.For me, this painting represents a love of beauty, a love of dance.” Leonor’s piece contributes greatly towards the ultimate goal of Project Pointe. This exhibit moves seamlessly between haute couture, paintings and fine art photography. All of the pieces explore rich textures and vibrant colors.

This entire body of work is heavily influenced by the classical rhythms and imagery of the Ballet, executed by masters of their trade with one single purpose in mind: to support the Miami City Ballet and their Shoe Fund. The entire auction could help raise close to $100,000 for Project Pointe. For those wishing to attend the opening night of program one of the Miami City Ballet, please, visit www.miamicityballet.org for more information.

Miami runners are prepping to be hit with a tsunami of color on February 2, 2013 as they take on Color Me Rad 5K. As white-clad participants wind through Sun Life Stadium, they’ll be bombarded with color throughout the course until their face, shirt and body cross the finish line looking like a silkscreened tie-dyed hippie. Finishers, coated from head to toe in blue, green, pink, purple and yellow, will then toss individual bags of color in the air every fifteen minutes—not to summon rain from heaven—but to create a final explosion of color in celebration of their accomplishment. A portion of the proceeds of the race goes to The Miami Dolphins Foundation.

Compositions that paint an afro-cuban face with a transplanted american smile that only finds home in a jaded heart. 1,000 Fuegos presents ancestral sounds entombed by the filter of today’s modern pop perspective. All the way from Hialeah, FL – a concrete melting pot of cultures spanning from the Caribbean, South and Central America and the US- this music transcends our modern concept of diversity.
Currently residing in Portland (OR), this firey movement continues to gather local strength and support through regular performances for more than a year and will be releasing their first official EP in December (2011) including recordings from Miami *Phat Flow ( and Portland. With this EP, 1000 Fuegos will expand by performing throughout the NW and California. Recordings for a full-release begin in late October for a release in March of next year.

5550 NW 40th Street,
Coconut Creek, Florida 33073
Webpage Link

Seminole Casino Coconut Creek is offering the chance to “feel the noize” and see the rock and roll phenomenon Quiet Riot at Nectar Lounge FREE on Saturday, October 20 at 9 p.m. The Los Angeles quartet became an overnight sensation thanks to their monster 1983 smash album Metal Health.

The American heavy metal band, best known for their hit singles “Metal Health” and “Cum On Feel the Noize,” was founded in 1973 by guitarist Randy Rhoads and bassist Kelly Garni. The original line-up featured Rhoads and Garni with lead vocalist Kevin DuBrow and drummer Drew Forsyth. Their current lineup consists of lead vocalist Scott Vokoun, drummer Frankie Banali, bassist Chuck Wright and guitarist Alex Grossi. Quiet Riot began by regularly opening for Van Halen in several local clubs, before either act had a record deal, and the co-influence can be heard between Randy Rhoads and Eddie Van Halen.

Metal Health’s title track had been released as the album’s first single and reached No. 31 on the charts. The song’s success could be attributed to its appearance in the 1984 movie Footloose, as well as its popularity as a heavily-rotated video on MTV. The album stormed up the U.S. charts, duly reaching the number one spot and going platinum five times over in the process at that time.

In 1983, Quiet Riot’s second single “Cum On Feel the Noize” was released. A cover of the 1973 hit by Slade, the single spent two weeks at No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and was the first heavy metal song to make the top five on that chart. The success of the single helped carry the album Metal Health to the top of the Billboard album chart, making it the first American heavy metal debut album to ever reach No. 1 in the U.S. To date, the sales of Metal Health have exceeded the 10 million mark worldwide.

Quiet Riot returned to the studio to record 1984’s Condition Critical, which went on to sell over 2 million copies in the U.S. and included another chart-ready Slade cover in “Mama Weer All Crazee Now” and the self-penned “Party All Night.” The group has since gone on to release several successful albums and tour worldwide, and has been ranked on VH1’s “100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock.”
