〜ロビー／グー・グー・ドールズの「ROBBY'S LOBBY」〜
日本人の奥さんを持つ根っからの親日家ベーシスト、ロビーがバンドの近況やいろんな情報を教えてくれる人気コラム「ROBBY'S
LOBBY」！誌面から1月遅れで彼が執筆した英文ママの掲載です。 Hey Hey In Rockers and Welcome once again to Robby's Lobby, our monthly meet up?here?in the pages of the mighty In Rock! We've been busy?traveling with Goo Goo Dolls as we did our first multiple date residency in Las Vegas which was at The Showroom at The Venetian?hotel. The Showroom is an awesome room built a couple?of decades ago for the Phantom?of The Opera Musical, they've since converted it to a showroom and it's super vibey, it kind of reminds me of The Beacon Theater in NYC. Oh, by the way, we released a video on Facebook / Meta of a show we recorded there months ago, it's all made w/ virtual reality to operate with the META headset, check it out if you get a chance! The 5 shows we did at The Venetian were all a little different from each other, a little different of a setlist, different opening numbers and some deep cuts for the more engaged fans! All 5 nights were sold out and based on our conversations with the promoter after the?show it looks like we'll be coming back at some point to try it again when we can fit it into the schedule! After the run of shows we attended the American Music Awards at The MGM Arena as we were nominated for Throwback song of the years along with 4 Non-Blondes and Black-Eyed Peas (who were the eventual winners of the award). It was a great experience for us and a cool opportunity to do some major press and catch up with some friends including Steve Aoki and our friends from Hootie and The Blowfish as we wandered around the event. John and I decided to take our daughters with us on the red carpet, John's daughter?Lili?is 9 and my daughter Hana is 14, they had a great time watching all of their favorite pop stars, and aside from the uncomfortable moment of 100s of cameras snapping in their faces got to enjoy the night with us! We saw performances by BTS, KATSEYE, 21 Pilots, Keith Urban, Carol G , Sombr and many others, it’s always a fun night when you’re rubbing elbows with these folks, but it’s nice to be home too! And I’ll get to stay here for almost 10 days, it’s pretty rare these days to be able to stay at home for any significant amount of time, so I’m gonna chill and spend some time hanging with Hana and trying to be normal while my wife Miyoko visits family Japan for the week! Ok, I’ve included some pics from the event, and thanks so much for stopping in to visit The Lobby this month, we’ll be back next month with more goings on from the world of goo …. All the best and have a great month! Peace Robby
