Judas Priest Tickets featuring Testament in Seattle

By: Spencer    Category: Wamu Theater at Qwest Field Tickets, Concerts

One of the earliest Rock bands is coming to Seattle. Judas Priest is straight out of the 70’s and they want to see you. Come to the WaMu Theater for the show. Here is some info from wikipedia:

Judas Priest have influenced all metal music since the late-mid 70s either directly or indirectly. Their influence was so important that MTV.com named Judas Priest the second most important band in heavy metal, just behind Black Sabbath.

In addition to the sound, Judas Priest are also known for being revolutionaries in heavy metal fashion. Rob Halford began incorporating a macho/biker/S&M style into his look as early as 1978 (to coincide with the release of their album Killing Machine), and the rest of the band followed. It became a mainstay in heavy metal; soon, several other bands, particularly of the NWOBHM and early black metal movements, began incorporating Halford’s fashion into their look as well. This sparked a revival in metal in the early ’80s, and catapulted them to fame, in both the mainstream and underground. Even in the present, it is not uncommon to find metal artists sporting such a look at concerts.

On few occasions Judas Priest music has also served as score music to serve the heavy metal cliché. A good example is an episode of the German crime investigation series Derrick called “Verlorene Wuerde” (German for “Lost Dignity”), first aired May, 31st, 1991. In this episode a young drug addict is also a fan of heavy metal music. As he is quizzed by the police in his apartment, “Painkiller” by Judas Priest and “Psycho Holiday” by Pantera plays from the stereo system.

NKOTB is coming to the Seattle area. They haven’t been here for a long time. If you are ready to get your boy band on, come to the Tacoma Dome for the show. Here is some info from wikipedia:

New Kids on the Block (also known as NKOTB by their fans) is an award-winning American pop group that enjoyed success in the late 1980s and early 1990s. They won two American Music Awards in 1990 for Favourite Pop/Rock Band, Duo, or Group and Favourite Pop/Rock Album for Hangin’ Tough.

Assembled in Boston in 1984 by producer Maurice Starr, the members consisted of brothers Jordan and Jonathan Knight, Joey McIntyre, Donnie Wahlberg and Danny Wood. The group went on to sell over 70 million albums worldwide, generated hundreds of millions of dollars in concert revenues, and having been widely regarded as pioneers of the boyband genre, paved the way for acts like Backstreet Boys and *NSYNC in the US, as well as Take That and Westlife in the UK. The group broke up in 1994. They reunited in April of 2008, and are now planning a new album and an international concert tour in the fall.

Green Bay Packers at Seattle Seahawks Tickets in Seattle

By: Spencer    Category: Qwest Field Tickets, Sports

Brett Farve and the Packers are coming to Seattle to play the Seahawks. Brett may not be with them for long so it is better to see the game now. Come out to Quest field.

The Green Bay Packers are a professional American football team based in Green Bay, Wisconsin. They are currently members of the North Division of the National Football Conference (NFC) in the National Football League (NFL) and are the third-oldest franchise in the NFL.

The Packers are the last vestige of “small town teams” that were once common in the NFL during the 1920s and 1930s. Founded in 1919 by Earl “Curly” Lambeau (thus the name Lambeau Field in which the team presently plays) and George Whitney Calhoun, the Green Bay Packers can trace their lineage to other semi-professional teams in Green Bay dating back to 1896. In 1919 and 1920 the Packers competed as a semi-professional football team against clubs from around Wisconsin and the Midwest. They joined the American Professional Football Association (APFA) in 1921, the forerunner to what is known today as the National Football League (NFL).

St. Louis Rams at Seattle Seahawks Tickets in Seattle

By: Spencer    Category: Qwest Field Tickets, Sports

The St. Louis Rams are coming to Seattle to play our team. I don’t think that they will have a chance, but they might as well try. Come to Quest Field to see the game.

The St. Louis Rams are a professional American football team based in St. Louis, Missouri. They are currently members of the Western Division of the National Football Conference (NFC) in the National Football League (NFL). The team has won two NFL Championships and one Super Bowl.

The Rams began playing in 1936 in Cleveland, Ohio. The NFL considers the franchise as as a second incarnation of the previous Cleveland Rams team that was a charter member of the second American Football League. Although the NFL granted membership to the same owner, the NFL considers it a separate entity since only four of the players (William “Bud” Cooper, Harry “The Horse” Mattos, Stan Pincura, and Mike Sebastian) and none of the team’s management joined the new NFL team.
