Gigi to tour U.S. cities again
Local outfit Gigi, a rock band that has scored hits such as
Angan (Daydream) and Terbang (Flying) is expected to stage a
four-date show in cities in the United States.
Starting on Sept. 16, the band will play arenas in east-coast
U.S. cities.
The band will open their tour on Sept. 16 in Whiskey Dix
Saloon, Philadelphia, before heading on to Washington when they
will rock the crowd in Jammin Java club on Sept. 18.
After a five-day break, Gigi will continue their tour by
performing at South Ballroom in West Lafayette on Sept. 24,
before wrapping up their tour in Boston on Sept. 25, management
of Gigi said in a statement made available to The Jakarta Post on
Monday.
This is the second time in a year that Gigi is performing in
the U.S.
Earlier on April, Gigi performed before American crowds in
Seattle, Houston, Los Angeles and New York.
Following the April U.S. tour, the band was on the brink of
breaking up, with guitarist Dewa Budjana pursuing a solo project
and lead singer Armand Maulana leaving for Hollywood to join
talent contest Rock Star: INXS.
Gigi, which was at the peak of its popularity in the mid-
1990s, is artistically in the doldrums, with its best efforts
being a greatest hits collection and the soundtrack to a dismal
movie. -- JP

Clarkson cancels gigs due to bronchitis
LAS VEGAS: Bronchitis has forced Kelly Clarkson to cancel three
more concerts in Nevada and Washington.
The "Breakaway" singer called off two performances in
California last week. Clarkson had hoped to be well enough to
perform, but was still feeling ill at a sound check on Friday,
according to a statement from RCA Music Group.
Clarkson had been scheduled to perform on Friday in Reno, on
Saturday in Las Vegas and on Monday in Spokane, Washington, as
part of her "Hazel Eyes" tour.
The canceled concerts will be rescheduled, and purchased
tickets will be valid for the new dates, the statement said. --
