More Acts Announced for VH1 Rock Honors Weekend

by Heather Scoville

hal.jpgVH1’s Rock Honors will be paying tribute to Heart, Genesis, Ozzy Osbourne, and ZZ Top in an awards show to air May 24th on VH1. Already confirmed musical acts include Keane, Gretchen Wilson, Alice in Chains, Queens of the Stone Age, and Nickelback. The show is shaping up to be a great musical treat and the promos have begun appearing on VH1 during its CelebReality lineup.

I was very excited, however, to hear about the latest musical act to be added to the pre-show. I have no problem admitting I absolutely adore Hal Sparks and everything he does. Probably best known to VH1 fans for his snarky commentary on the “I Love the 80s” shows, Hal is a comedian and musician (even beyond his short stint on “Celebrity Duets”). Hal’s band, Zero 1, will be playing at a pre-show during the Rock Honors weekend. I happen to be on his Friends List over at MySpace, and here is the bulletin he sent out about his new gig:

Good News!

My band and I have been asked to play the opening show for VH1 Rock honors weekend in Los Angeles!

The show will Benefit the Save The Music Foundation!

——-> May 17th at The Hard Rock Universal : 8 pm!

This’ll be our debut gig before the tour and our first time in front of a big crowd since the album was finished!

They are honoring Ozzy, Genesis, Heart and ZZ Top so you can expect us to do a couple of fun cover tunes as well as originals from the new record!

I am using far too many exclamation points!!

Thanks!!!

Hal

p.s. - I’ll post more details as I get them. The week prior they are doing a big spread in the LA Weekly that will have more info.

p.p.s - big thanks in advance to ESP guitars and Line 6

If you’re in the LA area that night, go support Hal and the Save the Music Foundation and send me some pictures and I will post them here!
