Incubus & Deftones 2015 Tour with Special Guests Death From Above 1979 and The Bots

• The Incubus legacy: across 20 hard-rocking, genre-bending years, the band has landed four #1 hits on the Billboard Alternative charts (including “Drive” and “Love Hurts”) and six studio albums that went Gold, Platinum, and multi-Platinum
• The Deftones legacy: seven critically acclaimed albums, 10 million records sold, and a distinct type of hard rock that “thrives on conflict and chaos,” according to The New York Times
• Trust Fall (Side A): the latest EP of new music from Incubus that guitarist Mike Einziger says is “pretty indicative of where we are now. This is what the band sounds like in 2015.”
• Koi No Yokan: Deftones’ latest release, which incorporated elements of shoegaze and psychedlia, and was hailed as one of the top albums of 2012 by both Spin and Revolver
• Rolling Stone’s take on dance-punk duo Death from Above 1979: “Returning a decade later, they’re still crushing violent, angular riffs, but they’re also writing catchier songs. A throwback to a throwback that’s better the second time around.”
• Rolling Stone’s take on garage punkers, The Bots: they named the duo “Most Likely to Succeed in 2014” after their head-turning set at Coachella

Give Mom an unforgettable experience this Mother’s Day by treating her to dinner at one of Landry’s restaurants and giving the gift of a lasting memory with a custom photo canvas from Picture it on Canvas.

Using the website’s simple interface, visitors upload the pictures of their choice and can adjust the placement before sending them off for printing. Once finished, the canvases are stretched and wrapped across .75” thin bars, allowing the works to be hung without the need for a frame or dried macaroni border.

Landry’s, Inc.

Landry’s, Inc. operates more than 30 restaurant brands with only two main goals: good food and good memories. Thankfully, each of their venues has a signature element that’s hard to forget, whether the Oceanaire’s fresh seafood—flown in daily—or Rainforest Cafe’s animatronic wildlife that’s almost as realistic as the Amazon’s wind-up monkeys. Steak and seafood spots feature prominently on the list of Landry’s locations, including Morton’s The Steakhouse, Vic & Anthony’s Steakhouse, and McCormick & Schmick’s Seafood & Steaks. But there are standouts in other genres, too, such as the Italian trattoria known as Grotto.

Run–D.M.C. and Friends

• Run–D.M.C.: as a trio, Queens natives Joseph “Run” Simmons, Darryl “D.M.C.” McDaniels, and the sadly deceased Jam Master Jay made all kinds of hip-hop history as the first rap act to top the charts and earn a Grammy nomination
• History-Making Single: While the group broke ground again and again in the ’80s with hip-hop versions of nursery rhymes and musical odes to tennis shoes, they’re perhaps best remembered for their take on Aerosmith’s “Walk This Way.” Recorded with Steven Tyler and Joe Perry, the track became a mainstream pop hit, sent their album Raising Hell to the top of the R&B charts, and yielded the first rap video on MTV.
• The Sugarhill Gang: this seminal collective is often credited for bringing hip-hop to the mainstream with their 1979 Top-40 hit, “Rapper’s Delight”
• Whodini: the trio of Jalil Hutchins, John “Ecstasy” Fletcher, and Drew “Grandmaster Dee” Carter filled the early ’80s with memorable laid-back jams such as “Magic Wand” and “The Freaks Come Out at Night”
• Naughty by Nature: if you’re “down with O.P.P.,” then you know the Grammy-winning trio behind that 1991 hit, as well as their singles “Hip Hop Hooray” and “Jamboree”
• Also Appearing: DJ Jazzy Jeff | Grandmaster’s Furious Five

H.O.R.D.E. Festival

• Blues Traveler: The eclectic band behind “Run-Around” and “Hook” does a lot more than execute Grateful Dead-esque jams and freight-train harmonica solos at their live shows. They also created H.O.R.D.E. in 1992 as a collaborative traveling concert with likeminded bands. It’s been recently resurrected, much to the delight of their audience.
• 311: These Omaha genre benders broke into the mainstream by fusing rap, reggae, and hard rock on their self-titled album in 1995. It went triple-platinum thanks to the singles “Don’t Stay Home,” “All Mixed Up,” and “Down,” and paved the way for a decades-long career that’s resulted in 11 records, their own cruise, and an unofficial holiday named after them.
• Big Head Todd & The Monsters: Formed in 1986, these blues-rockers soared to platinum status with 1993’s Sister Sweetly, which featured the melancholic rasp of frontman Todd Park Mohr. That same vibe and sound is found on their latest release, 2014’s Black Beehive, whose title track is an homage to the late Amy Winehouse.
