THE BEATLES - MONDAYS 4:30pm-6:45pm
The Beatles are inarguably one of the greatest and most influential acts of all time, and introduced more innovations into popular music than any other rock band ever. Not only were they the most popular band of the era with the public and critics, they were also the most popular band of the era amongst their peers; bands from Steppenwolf to the Rolling Stones to The Beach Boys all cited The Beatles as one of their main influences. They were relentlessly innovative and imaginative, pushing the boundaries of rock and popular music, creating new trends in their wake. They synthesized all that was good about early rock & roll, and changed it into something original and even more exciting. The musical lessons in this show will be endless and varied on any instrument.
U2 - TUESDAYS 6:45pm-9:00pm
U2 have spent the vast majority of their career as the biggest rock & roll band in the world, a title that captures not only their popularity but their importance. Alone among all the groups to emerge from the post-punk era, U2 channeled their yen for moody, experimental aural textures into clearly defined rock anthems and ballads -- the kind of songs that fill arenas yet still seem personal. Much of that sense of intimacy can be attributed to Bono, a lead singer who gravitates toward grand gestures yet remains grounded by his belief in humanity and the revolutionary power of rock & roll.
NIRVANA - WEDNESDAYS 4:30pm-6:45pm
Prior to Nirvana, alternative music was consigned to specialty sections of record stores, and major labels considered it to be, at the very most, a tax write-off. After the band's second album, 1991's Nevermind, nothing was ever quite the same, for better and for worse. Nirvana popularized punk, post-punk, and indie rock, unintentionally bringing them into the American mainstream like no other band to date. While their sound was equal parts Black Sabbath and Cheap Trick Nirvana's aesthetics were strictly in rock. They set the standard for 90’s explosion of flannel rock!
VAN HALEN - WEDNESDAY 6:45pm-9:00pm
With their 1978 self titled debut, Van Halen simultaneously rewrote the rules of rock guitar and hard rock in general. By the early 1980s they were one of the most successful rock acts of that time. Additionally, Van Halen charted the most number-one hits in the history of Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart and they are one of the world's best-selling bands of all time, having sold more than 80 million records. This show has everything to offer, over the top vocals, innovative guitar work, rock solid, melodic bass lines. If music was a party then Van Halen threw the biggest and the loudest!
LED ZEPPELIN - THURSDAY 6:45pm - 9:00pm
What the Beatles were to the '60s, Led Zeppelin was to the '70s: a band so innovative they wound up creating the definition or rock music that still holds true today. Zeppelin ushered in the era of album rock -and arena rock. Other bands played on a similar field but Led Zeppelin carried a unique mystique cultivated by their album art, image , live show , and, of course, their music. Drawing upon electric blues, early rock & roll, and psychedelia, Led Zeppelin created a titanic sound. Underneath the epic guitar riffs, soaring vocals and crushing grooves there was a strong undercurrent of folk-rock, world music, funk, country and synthesizers creating an adventurous body of work that had a long, lasting influence on hard rock, heavy metal, and alternative rock.
