910 Live Presents Double Platinum Selling Fuel

by admin on Sep.02, 2010, under Nightlife Industry

(GREATER PHOENIX, Ariz.) – 910 LIVE, the Valley’s new home for live music and entertainment, is

proud to present Fuel Saturday, October 23 at 8:00 p.m. Doors for the show will open at 6:00 p.m. Selling

over 3.5 million albums in the U.S., Fuel has toured the world, headlining venues and opening for bands such as

Aerosmith, Kid Rock, Creed, 3 Doors Down and recently Bon Jovi.

Advanced tickets priced at $20 are available now by calling 602.244.8444 or visiting www.910liveaz.com. Tickets

will increase to $25 the day of the show.

Since they burst onto the scene with their 1998 full-length debut Sunburn, Fuel has been a staple on rock

radio. After the massive success of “Shimmer,” Fuel released 2000’s Something Like Human, which featured

the hit singles “Innocent” and “Hemorrhage (In My Hands),” achieving double platinum status. After

3 years filled with touring, Fuel released 2003’s Natural Selection, which featured the hit “Falls On Me.”

Fuel is primed to pick up where they left off with their latest release, Angels And Devils, to add to an already

formidable list of achievements. Brett Scallions, original lead vocalist, is joined by Guitarist Yogi (Buckcherry/

Wallflowers), Bassist Brad Stewart (Shinedown), and Drummer Ken Schalk (Candiria) in the re-ignited Fuel. The

original line-up of Fuel has not been together since 1997, when original drummer Jody Abbott left the band.

“There is only one original of anything” exclaims Scallions, “and that includes Fuel. The original lineup with Carl,

Jeff, Jody and myself will always be something special to all of us, and our first Fuelies (a term for Fuel fans) but

it has been thirteen years since the original lineup was intact, and since then many great musicians have come and

gone. The lineup I put together for Fuel is not meant to replace or diminish what any of the original members

created. Just the opposite, it is to give our fans a live destination, and to keep the Fuel name alive for a new

generation to discover. Maybe someday we’ll all get on the same page and play together again, but life happens

and the next thing you know you just can’t jump on a bus and take off for a month, let alone a year.”

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Once you turn on the GPS on your mobile device, icons of various nightlife venues (see Nightlife Venue Types) will appear on your screen as you point the device in any direction, revealing real-time specials and deals for a 3 mile radius of your location. This is the next step for the nightlife industry! ALL search engines are simply irrelevant when discussing nightlife, and how much bombardment can we really handle on Facebook from our “favorite” venues? There’s really no way to describe this besides the experience itself.

Callz are live venue messages (created by the venue’s marketing department/owners) which are targeted to the nightlife crowd! These feeds are either 12, 24, or 48 hour messages that are meant to inform crowds of last minute specials, incentives, and/or anything venue owners may find ‘urgent’ for users to know!

HOW DO I DOWNLOAD THIS APP?

Simply goto the Android Market (Droiders) or App Store (iPhoners), download “Layar” (a browser) for FREE, and lastly, search for: JUNGLEBARS.

Using JungleBars.com, a user will know exactly what’s going on around town! A powerful search bar will enable users to view information for any day of the week, filtering out any venue type, or any special, by any music genre, age group, and so much more!

100% of our users have all described this website using the same expression: AMAZING! The modern design, smart navigation, and information architecture of the site is psycho-visually perfected. We are freely advertising, with full confidence, that no information-based website will be the same once we launch JungleBars to the public.
