Gwen Stefani and husband Gavin Rossdale share an intimate moment in Miami Beach

Gwen Stefani: The Concert Review

"I don't know what to feel like," human fashion doll and all around cutie-pie Gwen Stefani confessed last night to the screaming masses at the BankAtlantic Center.
"I feel totaslly relieved, but so sad."

This was the last show of Stefani's phenom "Harajuku Lovers" tour, but also possibly her last show for quite a while. The singer announced this week that she and equally genetically blessed husband Gavin Rossdale are expecting their first child next year.

And while the famously animated Stefani was in full energetic effect, with her identically-dressed back-up dancers and old-school/new school mix of fashion and fun, there was an emotional thread running through the air, as if Stefani was saying goodbye - actually, she said that the show marked "the end of a huge chapter for me."

That chapter was the part of the Gwen story that began "And now our heroine proves that she can make it on her own without her ska-pop band No Doubt." And she's more than proven that - note the deafening bellows from the mostly young and female crowd as she took the stage to "Harajuku Girls," her four Japanese sidekicks in frenetic step right behind her.

And check the screams of recognition and appreciation for "Rich Girl," or "The Real Thing," performed in a gorgeous old-fashioned bathing suit, in front of scenes of Stefani frolicking in the waves like a perfect pin-up.

But one of the show's emotional highpoints was during "Crash," an upbeat number accompanied by scenes of a low-rider bouncing on the screen, Stefani asked the
"Miami boys" in the audience to make some noise, and then announced "who I'm really here to see."

It was the girls, of course, who yelled their heads off at recognition of their specialness and the proud she took in them being their - "Imagine what it's like
to be me, with you supporting me all these years?" she said. A genuine "awwww" moment.

But not like the one that followed, as she asked the crowd to sing along with her - "Do it loud enough the baby can hear you!" she instructed.

This chapter of the Gwen Stefani story seems to be ending swimmingly. The next one oughta be a doozy, too.

Gwen Stefani Pregnant

Grammy-nominated pop star expecting first child
CHARLEY ROGULEWSKI
Five time Grammy nominated Gwen Stefani is approximately three months pregnant, according to US Weekly. The magazine reports that family members close to both Stefani and her husband Gavin Rossdale confirmed the news. This would be the first child for the pop star and No Doubt frontwoman, 36, and the second for the former Bush frontman, 38.
Douglas Rossdale, Gavin's father, told the London US Weekly office, "We are delighted." Stefani's mother, Patti, also confirmed the pregnancy to the magazine's Los Angeles office. The artists' publicists have yet to personally confirm the report.
The charismatic singer for pop-ska superstars No Doubt, Stefani broke out as a solo artist last year with the release of her debut, Love, Angel, Music, Baby. The album went on to sell big, and was recently nominated for five Grammys -- including Album of the Year and Record of the Year, for the single "Hollaback Girl." Stefani and Rossdale were wed in 2002. Their baby is reportedly due in June.

Harajuku Lovers Tour in San Diego-December 4,2005

“ I wish to meet Gwen Stefani.”

Gwen Stefani meets wish kid Jesse backstage.



Jesse’s nerves were a little less than rock steady. He was just seconds away from meeting Gwen Stefani, the entertainer he’s idolized since he was 9 years old.

Meeting Stefani was the wish Jesse, who is diagnosed with Friedrich’s ataxia, made after a visit from the Make-A-Wish Foundation. He briefly thought of traveling from his home in Rustin, La., for shopping spree in New York or Los Angeles. But those ideas wound up in the doghouse once he realized he could meet Stefani.
He traveled to San Diego to meet his idol before a performance at Cox Arena in 2005. The star cleared time in her schedule to meet Jesse, 15, before going onstage during her Harajuku Lovers’ Tour. her first as a solo artist.

Jesse was originally a fan of Stefani’s first band, No Doubt. He loved the upbeat, ska-drenched rock and reveled in the singer’s energetic performances. From the beginning, she was more than just a girl to him.

“Once I thought up meeting Gwen, my heart was set,” he wrote. “I guess I just liked her songs, her voice, her looks…and then just fell in love.”

The days leading up to his visit with Stefani included touring the San Diego Zoo, enjoying the beach in La Jolla and shopping at some of San Diego’s hottest stores. But he could barely think about any of that as Stefani walked into the dressing room, creating his favorite moment of the wish.

They spent about 20 minutes talking about her recording plans and things they had in common – such as their birthdays being only a day apart. After their chat, Jesse went to the front of the house for the concert.

Stefani still had a surprise for him: She invited him onstage while she performed the single “Hollaback Girl.”

“I was terrified,” he admitted, “but I had to do it.”

Being in front of more than 12,000 people was quite an experience for Jesse. But it was nowhere near as exhilarating as spending some one-on-one time with Stefani and finding out that she was every bit as gracious as he imagined she would be.

“She was absolutely what I expected her to be,” he said, “and she was just absolutely perfect.”

DONATE IN HONOR OF THIS WISH

Hollaback Girl

Dec 1, 2005 12:00 PM, By Marian Sandberg
There's a first time for everything. And Gwen Stefani's first solo excursion around North America, The Harajuku Lovers Tour 2005 in support of multi-platinum album Love. Angel. Music. Baby., is also a first in visual design, with the largest use yet in the US — eight in all — of Coolux's Pandoras Box media servers. Add to that loads of Barco MiPIX panels, a bunch of Christie projectors, a full motion control screen system, a slew of moving lights, and performance environment design by Justin Collie, and you've got yourself an all-out spectacle, complete with full band, about a dozen costume changes, and a dance troupe of eight.

But what is all this Harajuku hullabaloo anyway? Harajuku is an area in Tokyo known for its eclectic shopping and the teens that hang out there. This district represents some of the most trendy youngsters in the world, usually sporting some fashion craze a year before we see it and donning a much cooler and more advanced cell/PDA well before you do. Stefani has embraced this style, helped bring it to Western pop culture, and used it to clearly redefine herself as something very different from the

sporty-funky front woman of decade-long successful band No Doubt.

Ray Woodbury, creative and tour director, worked closely with Stefani to set the overall tone and look of the tour to communicate the artist's new style. They collaborated, Woodbury wrote a 25-page treatment addressing the overall look and flow of the show, reviewed it with Stefani, tweaked it, brought it to Collie and his team to get input, returned to Stefani, and the process continued (rinse, repeat).

“For this show, I really wanted new information and new concepts for people to see,” says Woodbury. “The creative goal was to make every song appear almost as a chapter in a book, with a clearly defined look for each segment. The appearance of a one-dimensional show is really not there, but the flow is there, catching the meaning of songs through digital images, while not over-stimulating the audience. You watch the screens and the entire show instead of just Gwen…it's an overwhelming visual and musical experience, and that was the goal.”

Collie felt that, if they were able to project different environments, they would be able to achieve the many looks Woodbury and Stefani wanted without having to spend an inordinate amount of money to stage so many scenes.



“Gwen has ideas based on the videos and the songs, so she's very involved,” says Collie. “As a designer, you have to go from Alice in Wonderland to pirate ships to a Japanese cartoon city, so you wonder, ‘How are we going to do that with a certain budget?’”

After attending a demo for the Pandoras Box media server, Collie knew he could achieve something he had been conceptualizing for quite some time with Artfag partner Spike Brant. “It occurred to me that something Spike and I have discussed often is not having a physical stage set creating your environment, but rather be able to create that environment with imagery, thereby being able to change the environment quite easily. Doing multiple large physical sets — even though they're just shapes of projections on them — I felt like we achieved quite a lot with a relatively small budget.”

Collie ended up using eight Pandoras Box media servers in pairs to project — via a combination of Christie Digital S12 12kW DLP Roadies and X10 10kW DLP Roadies — onto several curved and non-planar projection surfaces, giving the effect of wrapping around 3D images. Each image sequence is, therefore, generated from two sources, in many cases onto screens that yo-yo up and down at intervals via a motion control system provided by SGPS. The system for the screens — and the Austrian curtain from Superior Backing used to open the show — is run by Jessie Sugimoto.

Much of the video content development for the variety of screens and the 3'×3' panels of MiPIX — which line the fronts of two levels of decks on stage — was provided by Sophie Muller, who directs most of Stefani's music videos, including original footage of Stefani herself that was a combination of remixed music video content and some shot originally for the show. Additional content, such as animation sequences and cartoon bubbles, was created by UK-based Hello Charlie. Collie's own company executive produced some of the content, including a jumping car sequence that plays across all screens, which was shot by John Martinez of M-Designs in Palos Verdes, CA.

The eight Pandoras Boxes serve the screens on stage as well as the MiPIX. Some of the imagery is SMPTE to ProTools and triggered by Fast Forward hard disks, sent via the video director's switcher to act as a live input, and then to the Pandoras Box as a live input back onto the screens. In short, everything runs through the Boxes with the exception of the two IMAG screens that flank the stage.

Video programming on the media servers was done by Breck Haggerty, Pat Brannon, and Steve Gilbard, but even Coolux creator Jan Hüwel was present during rehearsals and was around to build some cues while training the crew on the server.

With media files coming in from different sources and as late as the third show, the programming team was often dealing with content that was being delivered in a variety of formats that didn't necessarily match, according to Gilbard. “Some came in with variations in frame rates and pixel size and aspect ratios, and there's a slight difference in the rate at which they refresh,” he says. “This causes a slight jitter on the screen — caused by little issues in how the encodes were originally done.”

With eight layers across eight servers and every server having two outputs, keeping track of what is doing what was no small challenge during rehearsals, according to Gilbard. Luckily, Coolux had just started to develop remote software that allows the operator to look at any of the servers and build dynamic views remotely. It also allows multiple viewers and lets the operator upload between different systems from one place.

There are four servers at midstage center directly over a center throne atop the MiPIX-lined decks where Stefani enters from a lift within. The other two stacks are right behind the PA. “The projectors are around 8' to 12', depending on the venue, above the top of the screens, which means the bottom of the screen is about 35' to 37' below it, which is a really long keystone,” says Gilbard.

Placement was an issue almost from the beginning. The creative team went from the original design using a super grid to a modified version due to logistical issues with some of the venues. Production manager Jimmy Pettinato, who also has a lighting design background, helped come up with a lot of what Woodbury refers to as “the reality of what we can or can't do or a better way to do things to be able to perform it each night.”

Changing the grid to assure most of the gear would translate well to most of the venues — which vary in size from smaller theatres to arenas — meant modifying the video sources. “Our angles changed radically, by four or five percent,” says Gilbard. “We were already short on throw distances for projection, and that change meant we had to re-evaluate the way we were doing it…the angles of the projectors, especially to the side screens, are extremely severe, and the only way to keep in focus is to treat every projector as a completely separate device so they can dial them all in. By being able to do true 3D keystone correction and adjustment, we could dial it in on a dynamic basis on as many points as needed. That was a big challenge. The upstage center screen is almost a 45° angle from where the projectors sit to the bottom of the screen.”


In order to add some additional live punch to the show, video director Danny Whetstone jockeys a good deal of content via a combination of isocameras and other playback footage that is SMPTE time-coded from Stefani's music videos. Those images then go back to lighting director David “Fuji” Convertino at front of house, who delivers all the video streams to the various locations as he operates and calls the show from the MA Lighting grandMA console. Each server gets a separate SDI video feed, so anything can be routed to any server independently from the Ross Synergy4 broadcast digital SDI 64 input video switcher.

Each day, Convertino and Whetstone use two grandMA consoles independently to program and tweak both lighting and video. Come show time, the consoles go into a master-slave mode, run on one console in a grandMA network with three Network Signal Processor (NSPs). Convertino operates the entire show from one board, and the other is used for additional DMX universes.

“The grandMAs are set up with my views and Breck's,” says Convertino. “This made programming very easy for us since Justin and Breck dealt with the media server world, and I dealt with just lighting during programming.”

"The media server itself has a live input, and I send everything to that input during the show,” adds Whetstone. “When Fuji calls for the live input, that's when my feed comes in.”

As a video director, Whetstone has a vested interest in getting the perfect shot to feed to the live input to get regurgitated by the servers in some shape or form. It was important, therefore, that the lighting jibe not only with all the video going on, but also for the camera. “Justin insisted on using truss spots, and not a lot of designers do that,” says Whetstone. “But we have video screens, and we're using cameras, and Justin knew we needed spots. Something as simple as having four spots is a huge help for the video side. Lighting wise, I was concerned the MiPIX might pose a challenge for the camera, but it looks great on camera.”

Whetstone adds that they're using a 25% fill on the MiPIX, which seems to work well for both camera and audience viewing. Video for three songs is actually click-tracked to the band, using elements from the music videos directed by Muller. For others, Whetstone shoots via an isocamera, and that content is fed to various screens, depending on the song.

On the lighting side, Collie and his team kept the looks as tight as possible to integrate with the scale of video. “In approaching lighting, you have to really be aware of where your screens are and keep the lighting off them,” says Collie. “Because of all the dancers and movement on stage, I was forced to push the lighting out even further and watch levels more.”

Collie's first concept was to make many of the looks of the video — as opposed to the moving lights — mirror the beat of the music. “Originally, I actually tried to stylize it a little differently. I wanted to minimize the cliché lighting — the obvious flashing and sweeping,” he says. “I tried to do much more of that with the content, such as flashing the car video sequence on the screen — bumping on the imagery, rather than on the lights — but Gwen felt like she wanted to have a more dramatic, rock-n-roll style lighting. If an artist expects all that, and they don't get it, they have a certain discomfort level, where they feel like nothing visual is happening.”

And Collie was able to make the lighting more dramatic for this now-solo act. When the singer performs with No Doubt, the lighting design must maintain the equality of all band members, and it often “limited the drama levels,” according to Collie. This time around, Stefani preferred to use her solo status and the lighting to a dramatic advantage.

“The whole issue of projection being the very core of the show and with such a complex set up, we really had to figure out how we were going to do that first and make it work on a day-to-day basis,” adds Collie. “That way Fuji could just touch it up in the manner of a preset focus — pan and tilt type focus for the lights — so it became no more of a chore than that for him. We didn't get it right the first few times, but once we figured that out, we went on. And it did impact the amount of programming we did, but to use new stuff, we had to accept this.”

“With all the video, there was a lot of adding and deleting of looks, so that we didn't wash out the screens,” adds Convertino. “The integration of lighting and video artistically was mostly making the lighting looks match what was on the screens. Once the cue blocking was done, we started to get into what colors and looks would match the video content the best.”

Collie notes that serving as the designer for all visual elements of the tour provides a real advantage in creating a unified feel for the show. “Being able to create that look as one piece, I didn't have to fight with the lighting guy,” he says. “We're not coming in to light around the projections. We're coming in to set the scene — the lighting and the projection.

“What we're doing on the show is pretty unique, and it's the first time I think it's been attempted — the ability to project onto any area or any zone on the stage, multiple screens, three dimensional screens,” he adds. “I don't think it was possible until now to be able to manipulate projected images to this degree.”

The tour is set to finish this month in Florida.

Harajuku Lovers Tour in Anaheim - November 28, 2005

Gwen Stefani: A star comes home

Gwen Stefani of Anaheim has taken the music universe by storm. Her adoring fans couldn't wait to welcome her back at the Pond.

By RICHARD CHANG
The Orange County Register


ANAHEIM - Cara Worden wore a shirt that said "Love" with a capital L.

Hanna Stetson wore a shirt that read "Angel." Erica Van Skike wore "Music," and Sydney Weedon wore "Baby." Together, the 12-year-old girls from Tustin spelled out the title of rocker Gwen Stefani's solo album: "Love. Angel. Music. Baby."

"We're obsessed with Gwen Stefani. We love her," said Worden, who attended the Stefani concert Saturday night at the Arrowhead Pond of Anaheim with her friends. "She's different. She doesn't care what anybody else thinks about her.

"We're, like, so excited. This is where she's from. She's coming back to where she's from."

Indeed, the lead singer of Anaheim ska-rock band No Doubt did return home for the first headlining performance on her own here Saturday night. Stefani, 36, has launched an extremely successful career as a solo artist, and the legions of fans who attended the sold-out show at the Pond were proof of her popularity.

"I just love her, I love everything about her," said Kashmir Kaiser, 23, of Anaheim. "I love watching her dance. I wish I had that much energy. Whenever I see her on a magazine cover, I want it. I have to have it."

Kaiser's friend Alicia Tucker said she remembers when No Doubt used to play at Cal State Fullerton when they were students.

"It's awesome to see her home," said Tucker, 24, of Anaheim. "It's a huge deal, with all her friends and family here. I used to see her aunt and uncle eat dinner on the corner. I saw her shoot a music video in Anaheim. It's a little weird she's here without the band. This is all new. But I don't think she's any less on her own."

Stefani's fans - the majority of them female - wore T-shirts with her face and logos on them. They carried L.A.M.B. purses from her clothing line, and wore L.A.M.B. sneakers that cost between $120 and $150 a pair.

"Gwen Stefani could make Band-Aids and I'd buy them," said Kim Vu, 19, of Garden Grove.

"She's awesome," said Raquel Valenzuela, 18, of Los Angeles. "She's talented, beautiful, gorgeous, sexy. I've seen her twice."

Though Stefani's solo album was released a year ago, she's still maintaining a high level of popularity and acclaim. Last week, she won an American Music Award for favorite female artist. She was nominated this month for a People's Choice Award, and her single "Hollaback Girl" recently made history as the first song ever to be commercially downloaded 1 million times.

While most Arrowhead Pond fans seemed to be coming from Orange and Los Angeles counties, some drove in from Palmdale and cities farther away. One group flew in from Australia.

"She's huge in Australia," said Erin Gorton, 22, of Brisbane. "When (No Doubt) came for their 'Rock Steady' tour, they sold out every show."

A few folks said they preferred when Stefani was singing for No Doubt. But they were in the minority.

It was the hometown fans who were the most proud of Stefani and her return to Orange County.

"She's very down-to-earth, honest, and she's from O.C.," said Cinthia Garcia, 20, of Costa Mesa. "She's a great role model for kids. She hasn't been in the media in a bad way. She's a good girl."

Stefani and opener M.I.A. will perform again at the Pond at 7:30 p.m. Monday.

Gwen Stefani and Black Eyed Peas in Concert at the America West Arena in Phoenix - October 16, 2005

Gwen Stefani - 'Harajuku Lovers" Tour

The Harajuku Lovers Tour 2005 is Gwen Stefani's first solo concert tour in support of her solo album, Love. Angel. Music. Baby. Reviews of the tour were mostly positive, many lauding Gwen as the new Madonna. On this tour Gwen brought pirates, break-dancers, marching band and her four Harajuku Girls to the stage and transformed herself from albino Snow White to Californian chola-girl to 21st Century Marilyn Monroe. Openers for the North American tour include the Black Eyed Peas, M.I.A., and Ciara.

Stefani's first solo concert tour coincides with the launch of her Harajuku Lovers line of accessories. Stefani announced on her official website that she will be producing a Harajuku Lovers Tour DVD, which took place on her first tour stop in her hometown, Anaheim along with her second solo album, The Sweet Escape. Release date is set to be December 4th internationally and December 5th in the United States. Not because of the songs but because of Stefani's profanity filled on-stage persona, the DVD will carry a Parental Advisory sticker (a clean version will also be released).

SET LIST

The typical tour setlist featured tracks from Love. Angel. Music. Baby.,
and in addition, Stefani introduced two new songs to the line-up;
"Wind It Up" and "Orange County Girl".

Sweet Charity

There's no doubt about it--with the recent smash single "Hollaback Girl," Gwen Stefani is at the top of her game in the music world. But that doesn't mean she won't make time for friends. In fact, on September 18, the pop diva brought hubby Gavin Rossdale to catch good friend Christina Applegate in the musical comedy hit Sweet Charity. After the standing ovations, Broadway.com caught up with the galpals backstage.

Stefani's L.A.M.B. Line Roars at Fashion Week End

By Elizabeth Lazarowitz
Reuters
NEW YORK - Pop star Gwen Stefani helped wrap up New York's Fashion Week Friday with the runway debut of her L.A.M.B. fashion line, adding a dash of drama to a week of largely subdued styles.
Designers this week largely brought out muted colors, simple silhouettes and tailored looks, reflecting a national mood marked by tentativeness over the war in Iraq, soaring gasoline prices and rising mortgage rates.
"There were not the elements of overt sexuality. Everyone felt it was time to get away from that," Henri Bendel fashion director Scott Tepper said. While the turn in fashion tastes cannot be entirely pegged to the social climate, "when you see a khaki or an olive green as your accent color, clearly the mood is not utterly optimistic," he said.
While the usual glitz, glamour and celebrity sightings were still prevalent, a few in the fashion crowd acknowledged the devastation in the Gulf Coast region, where Hurricane Katrina left hundreds dead and thousands homeless.
The organization that runs Fashion Week, 7th on Sixth, sold T-shirts, with proceeds to be donated to victims. Supermodel Naomi Campbell was set to stage a star-studded "Fashion For Relief" benefit show Friday. Kenneth Cole, known for making political statements on the runway, appeared at the end of his show in a Red Cross T-shirt with an 800 number on the back and urged attendees to make donations.
Subdued Sophistication
Embellishments of all kinds -- crystals, embroidery, beading -- were evident on the catwalks this week, as were feminine details such as ruffles and flowing, full skirts. Even those designs came off more sophisticated and subdued than the flashy, over-the-top feeling of many collections last season.
Neutral colors were back in vogue, contrasting with the bold, bright hues of last spring. Calvin Klein, Zac Posen and Proenza Schouler all stuck largely to white, beige and gray. Fashion staple black showed up in force in collections by Narciso Rodriguez, Michael Kors and Vera Wang.
Big belts, high waists and buttoned-up looks were in, replacing the low-slung, belly-baring fashions seen in recent years.
The L.A.M.B. ("Love. Angel. Music. Baby.") show marked the latest attempt by a pop star to cross over into the world of haute couture. This spring, Jennifer Lopez made her New York runway debut with her "Sweetface" label to mixed reviews.
While the fashion elite are somewhat skeptical of celebrity brands, Stefani's 2-year-old line has already won over some fashionistas and has been selling well at department stores like Saks Fifth Avenue and Bloomingdale's.
"I'm not doing it for the fashion world," she told Reuters before the show. "I'm doing it for me."
Still, she admits to being a neophyte in the world of haute couture. "I know that I'm a baby at it, and I'm just starting, and I want to be in this for a long time, so don't be too tough on me yet," she said.
The show was not short on drama, with models emerging from tricked-out cars next to the runway that bounced at various times during the show. The clothes, which ran the gamut from gangster-style motorcycle jackets to sexy, ruffled halter dresses, seemed to hit the right note with the fashion crowd.
"It was everything that we were hoping for," Tepper said. "Everything draped beautifully, and it's a collection that spanned a lot of different age groups."
Stefani, dressed in baggy pants and a simple white tank, described her latest endeavor as a mix of Mexican gangster, Rasta, English countryside and old-fashioned Hollywood. "Something I've always done is mix and match, but it's about making it all work together."

STEFANI BEHIND PUSSYCAT DOLLS SUCCESS

PUSSYCAT DOLLS singer CARMIT BACHAR credits GWEN STEFANI with kickstarting his band's phenomenal success.

HOLLABACK GIRL hitmaker Stefani was so impressed when she performed alongside the saucy burlesque act she took it upon herself to introduce them to her music bosses.

Pussycat Dolls' debut single DON'T CHA subsequently rocketed to number two in the US and number one in the UK.

Bachar says, "Gwen had performed with us before, and one night she brought along her record label bosses.

"They loved the show and wanted to develop a band from it, so we started auditioning performers."

Adrian Young-Good cause for celebrating a good cause!

An unamed friend, Andrew & Darren Carr with Adrian Young.

The event raised a total of $6500.00, a figure that was match dollar for dollar by NAMM for a grand total of $13,000! All proceeds were donated to Mr. Holland's Opus Foundation which refurbishes musical instruments and provides them to schools and young musicians who otherwise might not have access to them.

Some of the prizes that were in the silent auction included a Tama signature snare drum signed by Stewart Copeland, a Zildjian cymbal and gong signed by the attending celebs and a highly coveted "game worn" G- string graciously donated by Adrian Young. Strawberry pancakes will never be the same.

SATELLITE PARTY: PERRY FARRELL's New Band Play First-Ever Show

According to MTV.com, fans packed West Hollywood's Key Club to capacity Monday night (July 18) to see Perry Farrell's (ex-JANE'S ADDICTION) new band, SATELLITE PARTY — which also includes NO DOUBT bassist Tony Kanal and ex-EXTREME guitarist Nuno Bettencourt — play their first-ever live show. Cheering on the band was Kanal's NO DOUBT bandmates Adrian Young and Gwen Stefani, who had hubby Gavin Rossdale (ex-BUSH) by her side. LIMP BIZKIT's Fred Durst and AUDIOSLAVE's Tom Morello were also in attendance.

SATELLITE PARTY's lineup for the Key Club show and upcoming Lollapalooza appearance will consist of the following:

Perry Farrell (JANE'S ADDICTION, PORNO FOR PYROS) - Vocals
Nuno Bettencourt (EXTREME, POPULATION 1, DRAMAGODS) - Guitar, Backing Vocals
Tony Kanal (NO DOUBT) - Bass
Steve Ferlazzo (TRIBE OF JUDAH, POPULATION 1, DRAMAGODS) - Keyboards
Kevin "Figg" Figueiredo (POPULATION 1, DRAMAGODS) - Drums

Perry Farrell Plans A Satellite Party For Lollapalooza
Thursday June 23, 2005 @ 03:30 PM
By: ChartAttack.com Staff

Perry Farrell
Apart from watching The Pixies and The Arcade Fire perform, Lollapalooza attendees will also get to witness the unveiling of Perry Farrell's latest strange incarnation — Satellite Party, his new music/theatre project.

Speaking to Billboard.com, the Lollapalooza originator and ex-Jane's Addiction frontman said Satellite Party is made up of himself, former Extreme guitarist Nuno Bettencourt, bassist Tony Kanal of No Doubt fame and percussionist Gabriele Corcos.

Farrell said the group's concept revolves around the idea of holding crazy parties. After one such party escalates into a riot, the party's organizer (Farrell, natch) becomes seriously injured and is sent to the hospital. But wait! The complete weirdness doesn't stop there. The injured man meets a beautiful night nurse at the hospital. Since there's no way to paraphrase what comes next, here are Farrell's words, verbatim: "While listening to the radio together in the evenings as he's recuperating, he gets a vast visitation of energy through the radio, which is pretty much an invitation to a satellite party. Their souls leave, as do other souls on earth, because that certain station pulls them up to a party with a galaxy of stars" in a place called Dogstar.

The group, which Farrell says combines theatre with house, hip-hop and rock music, have yet to align themselves with a record company, but Farrell said there's been interest. They are planning a currently untitled debut for release next year. It will feature Flea and John Frusciante of The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Fergie of The Black Eyed Peas, Porno For Pyros' Peter DiStefano and members of Hybrid, including New Order bassist Peter Hook.

No Doubt drummer Adrian Young can be wild about his hair ... and golf
The Grain of the Game
By Tod Leonard
UNION-TRIBUNE STAFF WRITER
May 3, 2005

In the Bag Books

The first time Adrian Young, the sometimes outrageous drummer for the band No Doubt, walked into the clubhouse at Old Ranch Country Club in Seal Beach for a post-round beer, the mere doffing of his baseball cap produced cold stares and nearly audible gasps.
Because, he says with a grin, "You can't really hide a mohawk."

No, you can't hide a mohawk haircut, or pink spikey hair, or little pigtails sprouting up a couple of inches off your otherwise bald dome.

Some rock 'n' rollers make a statement with their tattoos, others with their piercings. For Young, it's all about the coiffing, and the folks at his country club, which he joined to feed his golf obsession, just had to get used to it.

"They're fine with it now," he said. "It helps when they find out you can play."

The Orange County native can play. While Alice Cooper is the rocker best known for his golf, Young is well on his way to becoming great with a second set of sticks. He already is a 2-handicap with a seven-day-a-week practice habit and plays regularly on the celebrity golf circuit.

Two weeks ago at the Toyota Stan Humphries Celebrity Classic, Young shot 74-73 and tied for 19th.

"I'm way more into golf than I'm into music," Young said in an interview at Morgan Run.

He's had a lot more time for golf lately. No Doubt, the ska/rock band fronted by striking blond singer/actress/icon Gwen Stefani, hit the big time 10 years ago with its multiplatinum "Tragic Kingdom" album. The three-time Grammy-winning group has since cruised on the millions it made, producing only three more original albums. It hasn't done a major tour since 2002.

When No Doubt was on the road, Young was its most outrageous performer. For years he manned his drum set in the nude, later switching to a G-string and then boxer shorts. At times, he has cross-dressed, bra and all, just for the shock value.

The theatrics made for a bizarre transition when Young slipped on his polo shirt and golf shoes the morning after a concert, often playing solo.

"Two totally different worlds," he said of music and golf. "At night, we'd have all the excesses that go with the rock 'n' roll lifestyle, and in the day I'd go out on the beautiful golf course."

Sometimes, he did try to mix the two.

"I know there were times that I went to the first tee in the morning legally drunk," Young said. "That wasn't too good for my game."

Young, who is 35 and has a wife and 4-year-old daughter, is serious enough about his golf now that on the Saturday night before the Humphries tournament's second round, he said he allowed himself only a couple of beers after playing with another band, Bow Wow Wow, in its San Diego appearance.

"I wanted to be competitive," he said with a shrug.

Young regularly hammered 280-yard drives at Morgan Run, and he putted in a 30-foot birdie from off the green to end the first round. But he also suffered his frustrations, including a missed tap-in from about 12 inches on one hole. The misfire prompted him to angrily fling his putter across the green.

"In most parts of my life I handle things really well, but nothing makes me more angry than golf," he said. "It's an evil game."

Yet he can't get enough. Last month, Young attended his first Masters, and on that Sunday afternoon he soaked up the atmosphere of Tiger Woods' victory from Augusta National's clubhouse veranda. Whatever color his hair was, you couldn't see it under his traditional green Masters cap.

"It was," he said with a huge grin, "epic."

Annabella, Leigh and Phil drove South to join Adrian, who was already in the San Diego area for the Stan Humphries Celebrity Golf Classic, which was underway at the Morgan Run Resort in Rancho Santa Fe. Adrian had two days of practice rounds before the weekend’s main event, so the band’s soundcheck on the Friday had to be scheduled around the golf. Despite some mid-afternoon rain, which held up play for a while, Adrian made it to the venue to join the rest of the band by 6.30 pm. After sound check, Leigh and Annabella went back to the hotel to relax, while the rest of the posse grabbed a bite to eat.

A loyal bunch turned out on this rather damp and dull evening, but things soon warmed up when the band hit the stage at just past 11 p.m. Afterwards, Leigh, Annabella and Phil hung around, chatting to fans, while Adrian turned in for an early pre-competition night. The abstinence from the usual rock & roll antics paid off over the next couple of days – Adrian shot 74-73 and tied for 19th.
The band would like to thank Josh Board, Randall Adkins, Stacy Green, Chris Olson, Max and the Brick By Brick crew.

No Doubt Man Bangs Drum
Adrian Young joins percussion collective for L.A. show
COLIN DEVENISH
No Doubt drummer Adrian Young has a gig on January 20th -- at Chain Reaction in Anaheim, California -- but no idea what instrument he'll be playing.
"It's going to be a little bit of a spontaneous thing," he says. "I could drive there and pull a hubcap off my Cadillac and bring a drumstick and be a participant."
Young will be performing as part of Bang!, a percussion collective that leans heavily on alternate forms of percussion crafted from recycled aluminum and plastic materials. Items used as instruments include oil drums, garbage cans, paint buckets, satellite dishes, fire hydrants, kitchenware and car parts. Bang! is the brainchild of the Start drummer Frank Zummo and got underway after an late-night, impromptu, all-percussion jam session.
"My friend said, 'I want all of us to jam right now,' but there was only a DJ in the bar -- there was no band," says Zummo. "So he tells the staff we all wanna jam, and the staff brings out buckets, kegs, et cetera. They cut the music off, and we started playing to this packed bar for a half-hour. It was amazing! People went crazy!"
The members of Bang! -- which also includes Jamie Miller of Snot, Bobby Alt of S.T.U.N. and Adam Alt of Circus Minor -- pride themselves on being street performers, and the crew recently completed a four-month engagement at the Los Angeles-area amusement park Magic Mountain.
