	featured news Korn, the Game, Nas, +44 Rock Youth Volunteers in Hollywood Tue, 03 Apr 2007 11:04:13 Exclusive Boost Mobile RockCorps concert rewards four hours of community service Last Friday, 3,000 very excited teenagers packed into Hollywood’s Kodak Theater—home of the Oscars—to see an exclusive concert by Korn, the Game, Rise Against, Young Jeezy, and +44 (featuring Mark Hoppus and, when he’s not injured, Travis Barker from blink-182). The star-studded Boost Mobile RockCorps concert, hosted by Nick Cannon, was a reward to Los Angeles-area volunteers (largely youth) who logged at least four hours of time in communities like South Central L.A., fixing up basketball courts in playgrounds, picking up trash from vacant lots, and giving a fresh coat of paint to a rundown community center, among other activities. Despite energetic sets from +44 and Rise Against, and an elaborate and intense closing set by Korn, the rappers dominated the evening in both stage time and crowd response. Native son the Game literally brought the roof down—or at least a part of it—when his relentless bass dislodged a light bulb from the ceiling and sent it smashing to the feet of an unflappable usher. In addition to the announced headliners, fans were also treated to guest appearances by Nas, Xzibit, and the Fixxers (DJ Quik and AMG). RockCorps volunteers were responsible for around 40,000 hours of community service in 8 cities last year; this year, the program has expanded to 13 cities. In each city, marquee live performances will be offered in exchange for four hours of service—"Got 2 Give 2 Get," as the organization’s slogan goes. Judging by all the people leaping out of their seats at the Kodak for several hours, the concert was a satisfactory reward. —Adam McKibbin 04.03.07 ...Back to News Home     more ARTISTdirect news Korn, the Game, Nas, +44 Rock Youth Volunteers in Hollywood Tue, 03 Apr 2007 11:04:13 John Lennon's Piano Goes on Peace Tour Tue, 03 Apr 2007 11:04:02 Peter Bjorn and John Tour With Fujiya & Miyagi Tue, 03 Apr 2007 10:04:55 Kaiser Chiefs Head to North America Tue, 03 Apr 2007 09:04:41 Keane Announces Summer Tour Mon, 02 Apr 2007 14:04:12 The Fall Shuts Down Hammersmith Palais Mon, 02 Apr 2007 13:04:06 iTunes and EMI to Offer Unrestricted Downloads Mon, 02 Apr 2007 11:04:48 Dizzee Rascal Releases New Album, "Maths & English" Mon, 02 Apr 2007 11:04:18 They Might Be Giants Release New Album, Announce "Secret" Tour Mon, 02 Apr 2007 11:04:03 Ashlee Simpson Teams up with Robert Smith Mon, 02 Apr 2007 09:04:46 Underworld Play Three U.S. Shows Fri, 30 Mar 2007 15:03:45 Lou Reed to Launch New York Venue Fri, 30 Mar 2007 14:03:31 U2 Start Work on New Album Fri, 30 Mar 2007 12:03:47 Sage Francis Tours, Releases New Album Fri, 30 Mar 2007 12:03:17 Andrew Bird Tours Fri, 30 Mar 2007 08:03:52 Mooney Suzuki Survives, Releases New Album Fri, 30 Mar 2007 08:03:46 Jarvis Cocker Needs an Opening Band Thu, 29 Mar 2007 15:03:11 America's Favorite Music Supervisor Starts a Record Label Thu, 29 Mar 2007 12:03:38 Bono Becomes a Knight Thu, 29 Mar 2007 11:03:57 Art Brut to Release Second Album Thu, 29 Mar 2007 10:03:55 Ted Leo & the Pharmacists to Tour Forever Thu, 29 Mar 2007 10:03:37 "Spider-Man 3" Soundtrack Goes Indie Thu, 29 Mar 2007 09:03:58 Michael Jackson Commissions Robot Version of Himself Thu, 29 Mar 2007 09:03:38 DJ Jazzy Jeff Returns With New Album Wed, 28 Mar 2007 15:03:18 Smashing Pumpkins to Play First Comeback Show in Paris Wed, 28 Mar 2007 13:03:51 Modest Mouse Scores a #1 Album Wed, 28 Mar 2007 12:03:39 Tegan and Sara Unveil New Album Details Wed, 28 Mar 2007 09:03:45 Korn and Evanescence Co-Headline Family Values Tour Wed, 28 Mar 2007 09:03:15 Tapes 'N Tapes to Tour Wed, 28 Mar 2007 09:03:02 OKGo, Terra Naomi Nab First YouTube Awards Tue, 27 Mar 2007 16:03:40 Justin Timberlake Announces Second Leg of U.S. Tour Tue, 27 Mar 2007 16:03:35 The Hold Steady Announce Spring Tour Tue, 27 Mar 2007 14:03:47 Snoop Dogg Denied Entry Into UK Tue, 27 Mar 2007 12:03:53 Five Questions: The Bastard Fairies Tue, 27 Mar 2007 12:03:00 Sonar Festival Line-Up Announced Tue, 27 Mar 2007 09:03:25 Slayer and Marilyn Manson Tour Together Tue, 27 Mar 2007 08:03:48 Rush Announces New Album, Extensive Tour Tue, 27 Mar 2007 08:03:39 Happy Mondays to Release New Record Mon, 26 Mar 2007 14:03:57 Arcade Fire Cancels European Dates Mon, 26 Mar 2007 14:03:03 David Bowie Curates New York Festival Mon, 26 Mar 2007 13:03:56 Spoon Unveils New Album Details Mon, 26 Mar 2007 10:03:47 Damien Rice Parts Ways with Backup Singer Mon, 26 Mar 2007 10:03:40  more hard rock Static-X Cannibal 04/03/2007    $12.99  Chevelle Vena Sera 04/03/2007    $14.99  Shadows Fall Threads of Life 04/03/2007    $12.99  Madina Lake From Them, Through Us, To You 03/27/2007    $9.99  Clutch From Beale Street to Oblivion 03/27/2007    $12.99  Sevendust Alpha 03/06/2007    $14.99  Chimaira Resurrection 03/06/2007    $11.99  Korn MTV Unplugged 03/06/2007    $14.99  more hard rock albums  apparel DC Shoes Raleigh Military Cap $21.99  DC Shoes Star Visor Beanie $17.99  DC Shoes Stretch S/S T-Shirt $19.99  DC Shoes T-Star S/S T-Shirt $19.99  DC Shoes Chop Star S/S T-Shirt $23.99  more apparel
