Lisa Lisa just released her first album since 1994′s LL 77. It’s called Life N Love. And, she’s been touring non-stop for years. Now, her shows will include not only the ’80s hits, but this new stuff, too.
San Antonio, you’re in luck (sorry, Austin ; though, it’s not like we’re miles and miles away) — Lisa Lisa is hitting your town on Thursday, September 6, 2009, at The Industry Nightclub and you have a chance to get on her personal guest list.
Now, Lisa Lisa’s ’80s Fashion Flare Photo Contest is open to other cities, too, but air fare is not included in the prize. You’ll have to get your own booty there if you win and don’t live in San Anto.
Check the flyer for the details and click it to go to Lisa Lisa’s Official MySpace Page Blog about the contest. The contest ends next Tuesday, September 1, 2009, and the winner will be announced the following day, Wednesday, September 2, 2009.
Univision’s 5th annual Premios Texas 2009 take place next Thursday, August 13, 2009, right here in the ATX. In celebration and anticipation of the event popolio is hosting a ticket giveaway (read more about the show and the popolio giveaway here) as well as featuring nominated and/or performing Premios Texas Artist pop quizzes as a weekly countdown to the event EVERY WEDNESDAY.
Third up are latin hip hop it band and Austin’s own, Los Bad Apples, fresh off their songs, “Pobre Corazon” (listen below), being featured on the June 23rd episode of MTV’s Paris Hilton’s My New BFF and, “Luxury,” on yesterday’s season finale. Representing for the group is lead vocalist Anita Benner. Like VALLEJO, they are nominated for Best Austin Band. Good luck choosing between the two. You can vote here. Bet they are performing, too. And, I gotta’ say Anita’s got some taste. “It Takes Two” is one of my big time all-time favorite old school jams, too.

This, That, or the Other
1. Underground OR Mainstream? BOTH! 2. Maintain Artistic Integrity and Vision OR Make a lot of Money? (or both)?? BOTH! 3. Studio or Stage? BOTH! 4. Spirituality or Hedonism? BOTH! 5. Make Love, Have Sex, OR %$*!? BOTH BOTHBOTH!!!
Fill in the Blank 6. Music is my one addiction. 7. I’m musically inspired byother great artists/music/performers.
8. My favorite old school joint is“It Takes Two” by Rob Base and DJ EZ-Rock.
9. If I was a super hero I’d be Linguilady (just made that up) = my superpower would be to speak all languages.
10. Sex, Drugs, and Rock & Roll should change to Love, Laughter, and Passion.
Short Answer 11. I make music because: It brings me the same intense joy that I imagine a mother feels when she holds her newborn for the first time. Of course, sometimes babies come out kinda’ scary-looking, but you love them equally knowing they’ll grow up to be beautiful! 12. I want my fans to: Know how much I appreciate them. 13. If I could share one thing about myself it would be: In my fantasy world I’d have a theme song playing and a bunch of backup dancers following me everywhere I went…shamon! 14. Wild Card! The secret to good songwriting is to stay up all night singing Michael Jackson tunes while b*boys break dance to the music. I wrote the best song of my career the next morning! 15. I want my musical legacy to be: Vini. Vidi. Vicci.
Listen to “Pobre Corazon” from Los Bad Apples’ self-titled debut. Check out their official site for more.
