2-Day Calendar Girl Music Festival
Rocks the LA Calendar Motorcycle Show Weekend July 18th-19th 2009
Just when you figured the annual LA Calendar Motorcycle Show Weekend, America's premier custom and performance streetbike event weekend couldn't get any hotter, producer Jim Gianatsis has turned up the burners one more notch. The exciting new 2-Day Calendar Girl Musical Festival, an incredible 2-day entertainment extravaganza of beautiful girls performing great music and sexy dances, has been added to the Motorcycle Show's weekend activities. A stand alone event for lovers of great music and beautiful girls, the Calendar Girl Music Festival will run non stop all weekend long and is included with general admission to the Calendar Motorcycle Show Weekend, plus the new Calendar Bike Show Bike Swap Meet and historic Queen Mary Ocean Liner. It all takes place each day in the beautiful Queen Mary Event Park in Long Beach, CA, the weekend of July 18th-19th, 2009.
The all female Calendar Girl Muisc Festival headlines with contemporary pop rock singer sonwriter and recording artists Kari Kimmel on Sunday and actress Elizabeth Nicole on Saturday, two of the most talented and skilled singer songwriters we've ever come across. Comparisons to legends like Carol King, Joni Mitchel, and Carly Simon, to more current artists like Avril Lavigne and Natasha Bedingfield almost fall short when describing the vocal and songwringing skills of both Kari and Elizabeth, who also happen to be drop dead georgeous to fit perfectly the theme of the Calendar Girl Music Festival and the world premier of the new 2009 FastDates.com Motorcycle PinUp Calendars
Kari Kimmel has written and recorded songs for numerous Hollwood movies including Disney's Ella Enchanted and the Wayan Brother's White Chicks, and TV shows Gimore Girls, Laguna Beach, the Bold and the Beautiful. She was originally signed with Virgin records a few years ago and they helped produce her first album A Day in the Life, but just before its release the music market took a down turn and Kari has since made the album available on her own on her website Kari Kimmel.com and her MySpace page. Kari also plays keyboards and guitar, has a style reminisant of her mentor Carol King, and another singer songwriter we like Vonda Shepard.
 |
Elizabeth Nicole, (left) just turned 20, got her start as a 10 year old child actor on TV soaps like Port Charles and 7th Heaven. Later In high school she turned her attention to music writing, singing and playing on keyboards some very sexy pop rock ballads in a style uniquely her own. We first came across Elizabeth and her incredible musical talent on her MySpace.com page about a year ago, hooked up with her as she performed at a couple of small venues around Los Angeles where she totally blew us away in person with her multi musical talents. We just had to have her a our Show before she became to famous. You can buy and download her full album of original songs on her MySpace page.
Ironically since graduating high school, Elizabeth has been leading a double life and has also been adding Hollywood movie actress to her resume. She currently appears as a backup singer in the current hit comedy Walk Hard - The Dewey Cox Story. Has just completed co-staring and singing in the feature musical scene teen drama - All Ages Night, and in the drama thriller Cornered! with Steve Guttenberg. |
This just could be a once in a lifetime opportunity to see and meet Kari and Elizabeth in person as they headline and perform exclusively for the Music Festival their longest extended full band sets ever. These two highly talented and attractive singer songwriters on the verge of breaking out, big time!
 Beautiful Calenar Kitten and adult film star Jayme Langford has a sweet tooth for music as well.
Pajama Band Joins the LA Calendar Bike Show
& Calendar Girl
Music Festival Weekend!
May 15th 2009 - The Los Angeles Calendar Motorcycle Show, in its never ending quest to provide wholesome family entertainment while enhancing the quality of artistic and cultural experience for brain dead motorcycle addicts, is excited to announce the addition of Pajama Band to our performance lineup with the Calendar Girl Music Festival included with July 18-19th 2009 event weekend at the Queen Mary Event Park in Long Beach, CA.
A unique entertainment experience, Pajama Band features the vocal talents of beautiful new 2010 FastDates.com Calendar Sex Kitten, Hustler Honey Jayme Langford / JaymeLangford.com. Between her extensive modeling and acting career, being a pre-Med University student and exhibiting precision Hula-Hoop skills, Jayme figured she also has what it takes to be an accomplished lead singer, guitarist and trumpeter in time for this year's Calendar Bike Show Weekend. Jayme is not new to music, having taken music and pianno lessons all her life. But after picking up a new pink guitar and plastic trumpet from Guitar Center on Hollywood Boulevard just a few months ago she thought, "Damn, I'm not busy enough, why don't I start a girl porn star rock band as well!" Who were we to talk her out of it?
 Beautiful Janna Jordan will be beating off on the drums as girlfrind Jayme provides oral vocal stimulation.
Performing with Jayme in Pajama Band are her famous adult starlet girlfriends, Jana Jordan / ClubJannaJordan.com also a Fastdates.com Calendar Kitten, Hustler Honey and Penthouse Pet, and Louisa Lanewood / LouisaLanewood.com. The band will be making its professional world premier debut at the 2009 LA Calendar Show Weekend on Sunday the 19th performing their exciting new hit "Fuck You Until You Die" which has music critics raving, in what can only be described as pornicopia of visual and audio excitement guaranteed to leave their many new found fans breathless on the verge of cardiac arrest. Music critics are already raving that these girls have given new meaning to the genre "Hard Rock"!

Weapons of Mass Seduction!
Purrfect Angelz Continue to Heat Up the LA Calendar Motorcycle Show
Hi Res Image: Russell Mitchell / Exile Cycles and the Purrfect Angelz
http://www.FastDates.com/BikeShow2006/06LABikeShow.AngelzRussellHiRes.jpg
Los Angeles, January, 2009 - So why does Russell Mitchell, star of TV's Build or Bust and featured custom bike builder in our Iron & Lace Custom Motorcycle Pinup Calendar, have such a big smile on his face?
It's because we just told him all those beautiful girls he's posing with of the famed Purrfect Angelz show group will be performing all weekend long in expanded performances guaranteed to decimate attendees at the Los Angeles Calendar Motorcycles Show, America's premier custom and performance streetbike event.
The Purrfect Angelz have performed at the Calendar Motorcycle Show the last 3 years in their original 5-girl group, performing two 20 minute sets on stage each day to the screaming admiration of jammed pack crowds. But we can never have too much of a good thing, particularly where there's beautiful singing, lap dancing, fire twirling, burlesque shaking, cart wheeling, lingerie and bikini clad girls involved. The fame and the size of the group has been growing these few years (for obvious reasons!) and Purrfect Angelz show director Lisa Ligon asked if she could bring their newer, bigger, better, tighter, bouncier, curvier, more perfectly endowed 9-girl Purrfect Angelz Show to blitzkrieg the Calendar Show from this year on. Who were we to tell her "No"?
The biggest performance day for the Angelz at this year's Show will take place on Saturday where the previous two 20-minute show sets will now serve just as a warm up teaser for 3, yes that's THREE different 1-Hour Purrfect Angelz Stage Shows! from their 3 different world and cross country tours.
The Angelz's feature stage shows will kick off at 12 noon on Saturday with their first one hour show called "Honky Tonk Ba Donka Donk" which they performance at major country and western music venues across America. Cowboy chaps and tiny bikinis never looked this good in Broke Back Mountain. Then at 2:30pm will be their "Salute the Troops" a patriotic medley from the Angelz's USO Tour which they performed for our troops in Afghanistan -with their Weapons of Mass Seduction so obvious we don't need George Bush to find where they're hiding (but you can mount your own invasion at the Angelz's picture autograph table afterwards). The Angelz will wrap up the day at 6pm with the "Biker Babe Banging Bash" which they perform at major biker events across America including Sturgis and Daytona - guaranteed to get the fans up, and bring the house down, and help close just the first incredible day at the world's hottest Motorcycle Show!
 MEOW! Oh my god, how Purrfect is this? But are you man enought to survive it for 4 hours on Saturday with even more beautiful girls, and then again on Sunday! Oh yah, there'll be some cool bikes there, too...
