AJOBO: An Invasion of the British Kind (Heading Your Way!)
Last fall, the British Invasion 50th Anniversary Tour zig-zagged its way around the East Coast and a handful of dates out west, but for all of you Midwesterners, the next few weeks are going to be busy for you. (Cancel your plans now — really.) In addition to stops in NY, NJ, Boston, and Virginia, the legendary lineup of Peter Asher, Denny Laine, Chad & Jeremy, Billy J. Kramer, Mike Pender, and Terry Sylvester will bring this once-in-a-lifetime, multimedia concert experience to Chicago, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, and more. If you haven’t gotten your tickets, do so quickly — seats are selling fast! (Links are below.)
If you need more convincing (and if you do, you should probably question your life choices because this one is a no-brainer), check out the wealth of REBEAT coverage from the last go-round, including interviews and a stunning pictorial of exclusive photos from the road. Then, of course, get those tickets!

This Week on REBEAT!
– We’re celebrating the British Invasion 50th Anniversary Tour with a special Staff Picks and JUKEBOX fit for the occasion, along with a look back at some of Brian Epstein’s artists NOT named “The Beatles.”
– KC (of the Sunshine Band) is back with a brand-new album of ’60s covers, along with a tour. We’ll chat with him about what recording the album was like, as well as his musical legacy.
– Marvel Comics might be big business onscreen these days, but that wasn’t always the case. What most moviegoers don’t realize is that the franchise made many, many failed attempts before 2008’s Iron Man finally hit with audiences. Jim Ryan takes us through some of the most notable flops.
