80s Rockers Platinum Rockstars

The Platinum Rockstars Superstar Show hit the beautiful Belly Up in Solana Beach, CA for their second show on Classic Rock Night on July 23rd. The show was a tremendous success, with 587 paid attendance (just 13 rockers shy of a sellout) and a total crowd of 680+. This was only the show’s second visit to the Belly Up and it looks like it won’t be their last in 2010!

Friday’s show featured local faves FooU opening the show and getting the crowd fired up for the Platinum Rockstars. Many in the audience dressed in their 70s and 80s best in the spirit of the night.

The Platinum Rockstars show featured tributes to The Who (Zeppelin was cut due to another Zeppelin tribute scheduled for the following week), Boston, Journey, Van Halen, Def Leppard and Bon Jovi and included some special surprises in between sets.

Thanks again to uber-promoter Beau and the whole Belly Up staff for a great and successful night of classic rock ‘n roll!

The Platinum Rockstars Superstar Shows hit the fabulous Las Vegas Fremont Street Experience for fifteen big shows beginning Tuesday, July 6th through Saturday, July 10th. It was an incredible five hot nights of rock ‘n roll with temperatures soaring above 100 degrees on stage most evenings. A hardy group of rockers made it out to the show every night and many new fans attended multiple nights.

The Platinum Rockstars Superstar Show put out their best effort every night and had the pleasure of making a passle o’ new friend such as Lorna from the United Kingdom:

“I had the privilege of watching these guys on Fremont Street on my last night in Vegas, and I was absolutely enthralled and thought they were brilliant.  I hope you come to the UK sometime soon.  If you get the chance to see these guys don’t miss it.”

The Fremont Street Experience is a series of outdoor free shows that run throughout the summer. The 2010 season’s Fremont Street Experience shows feature tributes to artists of the 1970s.

Platinum Rockstars tributes included Led Zeppelin, Boston, Van Halen, Foreigner, Bon Jovi and more. If you missed this great concert experience in downtown Las Vegas, never fear: more shows are in the works! Thanks again to all our fans for making this a trip to remember!

David Victor as Jon Bon Jovi

The Platinum Rockstars: The Bon Jovi Experience made their debut performance of this dedicated all-Bon Jovi tribute at the Ontario Convention Center at the Ontario Orange Grove Festival on Saturday, June 19th at 9pm.

This dedicated Bon Jovi tribute band was created due to overwhelming demand from Platinum Rockstars fans and booking agents for an all-Bon Jovi show, first seen in the popular Bon Jovi segment that’s a part of every Platinum Rockstars Superstar Show. Vocalist/frontman David Victor is a gifted impersonator of many popular rock star vocalists in the Platinum Rockstars, but perhaps his most accurate vocal impression is Jon Bon Jovi. The Bon Jovi segment that closes every Platinum Rockstars show has proven to be one of the most popular tributes in the show.

The Bon Jovi Experience also features two new members to the Platinum Rockstars family: bassist extraordinaire Dario Seixas (Stephen Pearcy, Firehouse, Takara) and our fantastic new keyboardist, Oleg Ginzburg.

Great racing and great 70s and 80s classic rock ‘n roll were on tap at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway as the Platinum Rockstars Classic Rock Superstar Show made its NASCAR debut at the Shelby 300 on Saturday, February 27th.

The Platinum Rockstars performed three blazing sets of classic rock at the Neon Garage showcase stage over the course of the day. The first set featured tributes to Led Zeppelin and Boston and started at 10:00 AM (yes, we mean in the morning! These racers get up early.)

Despite the cold a great time was had by all in attendance! Thanks to Bruce, Steve, our “road crew” of Carrin and Nicole, and NASCAR for making this event one to remember!

Hello Again, San Diego!

David Victor of Platinum Rockstars

The Platinum Rockstars rolled into the San Diego area on Saturday, February 20th at the Belly Up Tavern in beautiful Solana Beach, CA. This show was their first back in the San Diego area since October 2009 and was an amazing success, with 450+ attending at the band’s first visit to the Belly Up.

The Belly Up is a beautiful live music venue and plenty of live music was on tap with Damn The Torpedoes, an amazing Tom Petty tribute act kicking off the show. DJ Man Cat kept the night interesting with the Jaegermeister Girls taking the stage between the Platinum Rockstars sets.

Our thanks to Beau and the whole staff at the Belly Up for helping us make the Platinum Rockstars debut there an amazing success!
