Tiesto Returning to Borgata in March

Wednesday, January 18th, 2012

Announced today, the world’s most popular DJ, Tiesto, will be spinning his way back to Atlantic City this spring.

Following a pair of highly successful appearances at the Borgata just last month, Tiesto will return to the Event Center March 30. Doors are set to open at 10pm.

Tickets go on sale Jan. 21 at 10am.

During Tiesto’s last time in Atlantic City in December 2011, one of several visits to the Borgata he’s made since the property first opened, both Kanye West and singer James Blunt (who wound up body surfing into the crowd) caught him. See pics from Tiesto’s Event Center show in December below.

The Atlantic City beach bars are opening, such as Sammy’s at Bally’s; (see photo below and click here to see video from last year’s grand opening); the Trump Plaza Beach Bar; Hilton’s Beach Bar — and don’t forget The Deck at the new Golden Nugget Atlantic City.

Jason Bonham Interview: ‘This Ain’t No Led Zeppelin Cover Band.’

Tuesday, May 3rd, 2011

acw_jasombonham_200ATLANTIC CITY — The son of the late Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham talks to Atlantic City Weekly for this coming issue (May 5) in advance of his Led Zeppelin Experience show at the Borgata Music Box Friday night.

Here’s a preview of the interview, conducted by Ed Condran for Atlantic City Weekly:

“I have had some moments of authenticity,” Bonham tells Atlantic City Weekly. “I have actually played with the band [Led Zeppelin]. Not many of them [Zeppelin cover band musicians] can say that.”

Well, actually, none of them could make that claim. The surviving members of Led Zeppelin have done very little since John Bonham’s death. And from the looks of things, it doesn’t appear that Robert Plant is hoping to re-live his glory days. So where do you get your dose of Led Zeppelin? Well, Jason Bonham hopes you check out his band.

Read this week’s issue online at acweekly.com or in print for the entire interview.

Finally, Atlantic City is looking forward to the return of Robert Plant this June at the Borgata. It will be the third time Plant has played the Borgata in the past six years. His last show was with Alison Krauss.

Tony Boloney’s Goin’ Mobile

Wednesday, March 30th, 2011

acw_tony_boloneys_mustauche_Mobile_400
“We aren’t disclosing any information about where the truck will go and what it will serve, but I will confirm that we are already contracted to vend at over five festivals, have a few confirmed semi-permanent locations, and have been contacted by countless private and public parties to book the Mustache Mobile over the summer”, says Michael Hauke, owner of Tony Boloney’s and its new Mustache Mobile.

“We actually just booked a film set staring some big-name celebrities to provide bad-ass catering during the three-day shoot.”

A contributor to Atlantic City Weekly, who wishes to remain nameless and “undercover,” for the time being, tells us that after a tip regarding the final preparations for Tony Boloney’s Mustache Mobile, that said contributor, “followed the truck up north on the Garden State Parkway to Freehold [Bruce Springsteen's hometown] where the truck was being outfitted.

“And I was able to snag a shot of the truck!”

To land this scoop, remarkably, our undercover contributor — who took the candid shot above — tells us, “I had to make-up a story just to get in the door while they were working on it, but it looked nuts!”

Sources from inside Tony Boloney’s organization say the food truck will be serving Tony Boloney’s: “Big ‘Ol Subs and Indigenous Pizza ‘Street Style,’ which is how they serve it —  un-cut, then wrapped to eat and walk.”

Plans for the Mustache Mobile are still being finalized, but expect to spot it in the coming months, as it will, according to sources, be driving up and down the Atlantic City, Margate, Ventnor, Longport and Ocean City areas starting soon.

Sources also say the blue-painted food truck has been confirmed as a vendor  at both the Atlantic City Dave Matthews Band Caravan, as well as the Appel Farm Arts & Music Festival in Elmer, both scheduled for June.

And let’s not forget Tony Boloney’s second Pizza Slaughterfest, slated for May 14.
