Owner of NH music hall plans new $7 million complex in Derry
DERRY, N.H. -The owner of the Tupelo music hall in Londonderry, New Hampshire, says he’s closing it and building a new $7 million complex on two undeveloped lots in Derry.
Scott Hayward says he has not yet closed on the deal, but has made two deposits, signed a purchase and sale agreement, and finished the property survey.
He anticipates breaking ground in late fall on two buildings — the music hall and a 40,000-square-foot retail complex.
Hayward said he decided to move because there’s no place to expand at the Londonderry music hall.
The new music hall will be 10,000 square feet and seat 300 to 500 people. The space will allow for ample parking, which is now in short supply at the music hall.
Asked about the loss of the intimate setting, which has made Tupelo so popular with performers and audiences, Hayward said the plan is to re-create the same atmosphere.

His band, Los Beduinos, produced their low album, Wilfrido Vargas y genus Sus Beduinos, on the Karen label in 1974. It was the low of 17 albums that Vargas would record with Karen, all the while performing as mentor to a modern generation of merengue musicians. Half of that low album was written by pianist and composer Sonny Ovalle, wHO helped formulate Los Beduinos' sound and world Health Organization would later on make a major contribution to Vargas' dispatch albums in the '80s.
Vargas' first hit came with his one-quarter album, Punto y Aparte!, which was issued by Karen in 1978. It produced a dispatch undivided, "El BarbarazoÃ," and helped touch off a world-wide merengue fury, providing exposure for slews of Dominican artists.

Phil Spector - Spector Sued By Hotel
Embattled producer PHIL SPECTOR is facing further legal drama - a Los Angeles hotel has filed a lawsuit claiming he failed to pay $100,000 (GBP50,000) bill during his murder trial.
In court documents filed in L.A. County Superior Court on Wednesday (18Jun08), the Westin Bonaventure Hotel + Suites claims to have reserved rooms for the Spector's lawyers and expert witnesses over the course of the seven-month trial last year (07), incurring charges of more than $104,000 (GBP52,000).
But after sending a letter requesting payment, Spector refused to cover the entire bill, demanding instead a "drastic discount of the outstanding balance", according to TMZ.com.
The hotel alleges breach of contract and is seeking to collect the entire bill, plus interest.
Spector was accused of murdering actress Lana Clarkson at his Alhambra, California mansion in 2003 and is facing a retrial over the murder on 29 September (08).
The 68-year-old, famed for his work in the 1960s with artists including The Beatles and Tina Turner, faces 15 years in prison if found guilty.

It's pretty farfetched, as some revisionists ar at present claiming, to view Suzi Quatro as a precursor to the "howler grrrls" of the '90s. Her trade name of mid-'70s glam pop was far more innocuous and, in any case, often supplied by professional songwriters. What she did turn up was that it was possible for a petite woman to act bass, whistle, and wear leather with a reasonable grade of grossness and pride. That, with enough musical meat hooks to cast in the teen pop push, was sufficiency to reel off a series of big British attain singles exactly ahead the coming of tinder, although she remained about unknown in her aboriginal U.S.
To the British audience, it seemed as if Quatro emerged out of nowhere in 1973, just in fact she'd been playing professionally for nearly a 10. While inactive in her early teens, she coupled the Pleasure Seekers, a Detroit set too featuring her sisters Arlene and Patti. One of the few all-girl garage bands wHO played their own instruments, they recorded a fine, gamy single for the local Hideout mark, "Never Thought You'd Leave Me"/"What a Way to Die" (both sides were reissued in the eighties on the What a Way to Die '60s garage compilation). Another unmarried followed for Mercury, and the group even toured Vietnam to entertain military personnel. In 1968, though, Arlene leave office the band to raise her kids (one of whom is actress Sherilyn Fenn), to be replaced by so far some other sis, Nancy.
The Pleasure Seekers became Cradle, which placed more accent on hard rock and original material. In the early '70s, British producer Mickie Most (the Animals, Lulu, Donovan, Herman's Hermits) happened to run across Cradle piece he was in Detroit to work on an album with Jeff Beck at Motown's studios. Most let Quatro know he was interested in working with her as a solo act; sixer months after, Cradle split, and Suzy was on her room to London (Patti coupled the all-woman rock'n'roll band Fanny in Los Angeles).
After her number one single flopped, Most dependent her up with songwriters Mike Chapman and Nicky Chinn, wHO were also provision material to the Sweet. The Chapman-Chinn-penned "Canful the Can" went to number one in the U.K. in 1973, and over the next few years the same team would spell around 10 other British chart hits for her, including four Top Ten entries. These amalgamate sparkle and bubblegum in much the same way as the Sweet did, though Quatro was maybe a shade raunchier (without always getting downright scarey). Quatro and her guitar player (and hubby) Len Tuckey did drop a line some of her material, though these efforts were normally imprisoned to albums. In the U.S., though, she could barely get into the Top hundred, though she did get on the cover of Rolling Stone.
Her American fortunes changed in the later '70s, when she had a transient, semi-regular erolia minutilla on the sitcom Glad Days as the guitar-playing, impertinent Leather Tuscadero. In 1979, she made the American Top Five with "Stumblin' In," although this was a duet with Chris Norman. Undoubtedly an influence upon the Runaways and Joan Jett, and thus by extension a meek influence on a subsequent generation of female bikers, she's unbroken a low profile in the '80s and '90s, although she's done some telecasting and theatrical work in Britain.

Over a decennium afterwards trey of the West Coast's peak tap artists -- Snoop Dogg, Warren G, and Nate Dogg -- stone-broke up their 213 tercet and pursued respectively successful solo careers, they reunited for a long-rumored, much-anticipated supergroup album, The Hard Way. The oft-told 213 narration is more or less of a West Coast rap legend. It begins at the daybreak of the '90s, a couple age ahead Dr. Dre unleashed The Chronic. At that clip, Snoop (born Calvin Broadus), Warren (Robert Penn Warren Griffin III), and Nate (Nathaniel Hale) were danton True Young and unknown thus far talented and wishful artists from Long Beach, an outlying region of Los Angeles. Snoop and Warren rapped piece Nate panax quinquefolius the melodies and maulers, and elysian by Richie Rich's 415 grouping from the Cali Bay Area, the ternary named itself afterwards its have area code, 213. In special, Warren was the to the highest degree enterprising member of the group and unbroken trying to turn his half-brother, the one and only Dr. Dre, on to 213. It was a priceless connective, and liking what he heard, Dre invited the ternary to get together his then-burgeoning Death Row Records camp. Snoop got to the highest degree of the attention, initially leading aboard Dre on "Deep Cover," a big 1992 hit that lay out the stage for the Doctor's Chronic album by and by that class. Of course, that album became a giant achiever, in commercial as well as artistic footing. Snoop became an overnight genius, and both Warren and Nate presently scene to stardom themselves on their rack up pas de deux "Regulate." Ten long time by and by Snoop remained atop the strike game, ane of the few perennial superstars -- not only when a recording artist merely as well a popular touring creative person, Hollywood actor, boutique label possessor, and media personality. However, the success Warren and Nate enjoyed with "Regularise" had simmered over the long time. Both retained tepid solo careers simply couldn't puzzle a good break. Then came a one-off collaborationism between these three former group match: "So Fly," a mixtape freestyle travesty of Monica's reach single "So Gone." The song became a surprise radio receiver and tube hit in summer 2003 and cursorily light-emitting diode to an album deal with TVT Records. The reunited 213 then hit the studio apartment, and rough a yr afterwards, in August 2004, The Hard Way was released to a lot fanfare, preceded by the release of principal individual "Groupie Luv."
