Donovan Leitch's new film featuring Jane's Addiction

Post by hydro »

I've been seeing this in a few reviews of the show last week.This is a quote from Duff's blog this week.
I got to fly down to L.A. last weekend and take part in one of the most fun gigs I have EVER played. Jane's Addiction played a show to be included in Donovan Leitch's film about Hollywood and the Sunset Strip. The band is allowing me to be a part of their history, and for that, I am deeply honored. Life is good indeed.

That explains why he is listed as a producer on the concert poster. I think the big underwriter, though, is BING, and it appears that they are doing a documentary on the sunset strip music scene when bands like Jane's and X were coming up. There are apparently more bands/acts that will be playing these sorts of shows over the summer:

nd that's not all... last week we kicked off a summer concert series taking place along L.A.’s famous Sunset Strip with Jane’s Addiction and in the lovely resort town of Montauk, NY with Pete Yorn. We'll be uploading videos from the private show to Bing Video so check back soon for behind the scenes footage of the concert. The concert series will continue through the summer with acts like the Pussycat Dolls and RATT. So how can you get in on the action? There will be chances to win tickets on the Bing Facebook page so stay tuned for those details and if you're not a lucky winner, we've got you covered with continuous coverage on Bing video.

Summer is always a great time to catch a music concert! Be sure to check Bing Music for all your music needs.

This is awesome news!
The more pro-shot footage out there the better as far as I'm concerned. :thumb:

Over on my photography facebook page, I posted my X photos and wrote "Marquee said Sunset Strip Summer Concert Series...does that mean we are going to get more shows like this all summer?!?! I certainly hope so! :)"

and someone who is involved commented...

"....we're putting these shows on for the sunset strip film we're shooting all summer. there will be plenty more..."

looks like it's going to be a really fun summer for you Vikkivale.I noticed this statement also in the youtellconcert guys review
And one last thing, make sure you follow all the venues of the Sunset Strip on Twitter (@theroxy, @theviperroom, @Key_club), because I have got a feeling they are going to be announcing a lot of secret shows over the summer.
