What Happens in Vegas...

Although the lovey-dovey picture suggests otherwise, Gif did NOT marry Tony Orlando in Las Vegas. But, a bond was forged nonetheless. Last year while attending a Sundance party, Gif met with Joe Jaworski from Showtime and suggested putting together an "industry band" for VSDA's Home Entertainment party in Las Vegas. Jaworski thought it as a great idea and voila - Gif compiled an all-star rock band, with its own private dancer, called The Replicators. Their first gig was opening up for Tony Orlando and Dawn at the "Music & Magic Under the Stars" party at the Bellagio Pool. Anyone who's had the opportunity to see Gif perform knows Tony must have been sweating like a whore in church when he caught the act he was slated to follow. Catch Gif with his local bands Bang Box and Lulu's in Crisis. I definitely plan to the next time I can stay out past 11 p.m.

Wow! Gif looks pretty buff. Literally rubbing elbows with big celebs. Tony's got quite a kung foo grip on him.

Looks like Bang Box is playing this Saturday, 8/6 at The Bell in Hand. Those fortunate enough to attend the Coldplay show shoud pop in for a good time...a good time rock 'n' roll. Wonder if Gif still rips into I Wanna Be Adored by Stone Roses.
