Darien, NY- Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers returned to the Darien Lake P.A.C. for their second concert in two weeks. The first concert, on Aug 14 was completely sold out, so an additional show was added. Although this particular performance wasn’t a sellout, there was still a great turn-out of approximately 10,000 fans enjoying a beautiful summer evening. With the concert industry struggling like it has been over the last few months, this was a great testimony to the popularity of Tom Petty and for his reputation of putting on an amazing live show. The 59 year old singer/songwriter/guitarist and Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame inductee is more popular now than ever before and not just in the WNY area. Petty now appeals to generations of Rock fans who seem to really appreciate the brilliance of his music. And Petty and the Heartbreakers are are by no means resting on past laurels, their most recent release 'Mojo' has the band playing some of the most stripped down, raw and inspired music of their career.

The multi-platinum selling band from Buffalo, NY - The Goo Goo Dolls will be releasing their ninth studio album this week."Something for the Rest of US" is a 12 track, hit filled, mature and profound Cd that will help catapult the band to a new and exciting level. The Goo Goo Dolls spent over two years perfecting this Cd and it was time well invested. Audience's that have seen the band perform this summer have had the honor of hearing many of the new songs and have reacted in a very positive manner to the new material. The band's current single "Home" is in high rotation on many adult contemporary radio stations throughout the country and the video is climbing the Vh1 top 20 countdown.
The Goo Goo Dolls are currently on a massive tour of North America that started in April and will conclude on Oct 30 in Salamanca, NY. The band will then head over to the UK for a brief tour.
During a break from his hectic schedule, our good friend and Goo Goo Dolls bassist/songwriter Robby Takac was kind enough to call us here at RockMusicStar. We discussed the new Cd plus much more. Here's what Robby had to say. To read the interview click here.
