The Kings of Leon hold court at The Hollywood Bowl

The Kings of Leon’s, song sets were on fire last night at The Hollywood Bowl in Hollywood, CA.

It was a starry summer night as many familiar faces came out to praise their favorite Kings.

I personally think the Hollywood Bowl is one of the best places to see a concert, unless of course you were at The Coliseum in Rome for Billy Joel back in ’06.

‘Twas a magical evening with friends, wine, cheese and backstage passes.

The crowd lost their cool when The Kings of Leon sang “Use Somebody” but fortunately they heated things up with everyone’s favorite song “Sex on Fire”.

IGGY ROCKS WILLIAMSBURG FOR RAY BAN

Last night, Ray Ban put on a concert at the Music Hall of Williamsburg to celebrate the launch of their new collection of aviators. The brand smartly paired hometown heroes, The Virgins, with iconic rock gods, Iggy Pop & The Stooges for an absolutely electric night of music! Iggy drove the crowd, which included Chloe Sevigny, Kate Bosworth, Kelly Osbourneiggy-pop-ray-ban-01, into a mosh pit frenzy. For the encore, The Virgins even joined Iggy on stage for the classic, “No Fun,” which was the exact opposite sentiment of this amazing party!
