Rolling Stones Anniversary Gig in London??

Wednesday, May 25th, 2011

Always on the look out and keeping our ears close to the music ground, we really love it when a story floods through cyberspace that promises to make dreams come true!

Catching wind recently of perhaps the start of something truly magical, legendary Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards has hinted of a special gig to take place in the band’s homeland London next year!

Talking to the press recently, Keith gave us all that shining ray of hope saying “Something’s blowing in the wind,the idea is there. We kind of know we should do it, but nobody’s put their finger on the moment yet.”

The guys in action back in 1973

This event would mark the 50th anniversary of their first ever live show as ‘The Rolling Stones‘ which is no mean feat! To mark 50 years of anything is a special occasion, a birthday or wedding, but achieving half a century as a band…..now that’s something special!
For now all we can do is wait and hope that we’ll once again get to see these guys do what they do best and play those songs that defined a time in music and made them who they are, fingers crossed!

Cant wait that long to get a taste of the biggest rock band in the world….ever!!? Then check out our range of Rolling Stones designs that are the perfect way to show some true music love this summer.

Facebook Competition

Friday, April 15th, 2011

Spurred on by our latest Facebook competition, Amplified towers has been looking back at the weird and somehow strangely wonderful music videos of old, and boy oh boy did we find some beauties!!

We thought we’d share a few of our faves or well…not so favourite videos with you guys. Enjoy!

First up we have what we can only describe as two dads dancing at a wedding. Two music greats Mick Jagger and Bowie coming together for 1895′s live aid can surely only be a good thing right?? You decide.

We stumbled across this real clanger of a music video. Jammed full of dodgy video effects, random moments and some cringe worthy dance moves to match the lyrics, David Hasselhoff’s not so classic video just had to make the list. Enjoy!

Not the worst? If you know any as bad or even worse videos, enter our Facebook competition to win a cool £25 to spend on Amplified tees at SugarBullets.co.uk. Good luck!

Stone Roses to Reunite??

Tuesday, April 12th, 2011

Every once in a while, we catch wind of rumours that spread promise and hope across the music land telling tales of bands of old putting differences aside, dusting off the stage clothes and reuniting once more!

Most of the time these fantasies are short-lived or bands few cared about to begin with, however hearing the words ‘Stone Roses‘ and ‘reunite’ together we just had to know more!!

Amplified Newness!

Wednesday, January 26th, 2011

Believe it! We have even more new and exciting designs and artists that have just rocked or about to rock their way onto the Amplified stage!

U2

Well! Another band that needs no introduction, U2 has been rocking nations with their big and ‘textural’ guitar chords and even bigger vocals! Starting out as a more post-punk style group, U2 evolved with the times to include a more pop rock style, however have always managed to retain a certain ‘U2ness’ within their writing and playing styles which clearly works!
U2 have become one of the biggest bands in the world since the late 80′s through sticking to what they do best and releasing a colossal 12 studio albums!

U2 are well known for expressing their political and religious opinions both on and off stage over a number of decades, as well as their not so secret charity work.
This amazing new design features some of the classic hits by the band including, ‘Surrender’, ‘The Refuge’ and ‘War’. We love the contrast of the vivid reds on the cool white tee. What a way to stand out from the crowed!
Watch out for this epic tee, it’s going to rock your world! 0
