Artist: Home Cookin’
Date: Friday, June 24
Time: Midnight
Cost: $10
Description: Combining a delectable array of original soul, rock and funk, Home Cookin’ delivers it with a serious amount of eye-popping energy and the popular Vegas-based act is back in action. In these times of canned soul-less music, Home Cookin’ makes it a point to sock it to fans every time with slammin’ original funk. Home Cookin’ swells to a massive 10 talented players, including a five-man horn section. With their 1997 debut album “Mmm, Mmm, Mmm,” and their 2000 release of “Pink in the Middle,” Home Cookin’ made a name for themselves on the West Coast and have been voted “Best Local Band” and “Best Local CD” several times during those years. Having been compared to the likes of Tower of Power, they have been shakin’ the butts of West Coast audiences for more than a decade. Home Cookin’ was one of the first local Las Vegas acts to play top casino showrooms on the strength of their original material rather than covers. Their music remains a legacy to the Las Vegas scene.

Artist: dredg
Date: Saturday, July 30
Time: Midnight
Cost: $15
Description: Bay Area rock band dredg will soon release their new album, Chuckles and Mr. Squeezy, which is the fifth release in more than 15 years.

For nearly eight months, beginning last winter, the band members sent songs back and forth over e-mail, allowing the tracks to slowly build and layer under individual microscopes. The resulting album is almost like opening a new chapter of a book. The players are familiar and it still sounds like the work of the same artist, but the tones have shifted and the setting’s changed.

Although the tones and pacing shift as the album progresses, the songs all fall under the category of what Hayes calls “dark pop.” “The Thought of Losing You,” driven by a surging guitar riff, achieves emotional depth through simplicity rather than over-complication, while “Upon Returning” pairs rough-edged guitars with Hayes’ ambient vocals that soar in juxtaposition with the grinding instrumentals. A shadowed mood hovers under the music, lending a sense of pensive introspection to the songs, but in the end the album emerges as a beacon of optimism.

Artist: Dilana
Date: Friday, August 26
Time: Midnight
Cost: $14
Description: Born in Johannesburg, South Africa, the girl known by age two as Dilana Smith discovered a love for music at an early age, participating in school and church choirs as an escape from an unpleasant home life. Inspired by such visceral singers as Janis Joplin and Tina Turner, she left school at sixteen to follow her own dreams and soon found herself with a promising music career in Holland, becoming one of the country’s most coveted live acts. Her 2000 album Wonderfool scored five singles, four videos and a string of touring and festival gigs throughout the region.

By way of Houston, she made it to L.A. and wound up auditioning for “Rock Star Supernova.” Although most fans expected her to win, Dilana came in second to Canadian vocalist Lukas Rossi during the competition’s finale. Unfazed, America’s newest rock vixen mounted an initial solo tour and more recently opened for Rockstar Supernova, earning consistently stellar reviews.
