BBQ Kings Rock The Seahorse Nov. 3rd

Al Gore, Bono and Leonardo DiCaprio Not Attending
BBQ Kings November 3rd Show at the Seahorse Tavern


For Immediate Release


October 24, 2007 -- Halifax roots-rock band the BBQ Kings have confirmed that climate change activists Al Gore, Bono and Leonardo DiCaprio will not be attending the group’s November 3rd show at the Seahorse Tavern in Halifax.

In their quest to reduce greenhouse emissions, the BBQ Kings actively discourage big-name celebrities from attending their gigs. It is also very likely Bob Geldof, Bonnie Raitt and Jackson Browne won’t be sitting in with the band when it plays its Halifax gig.

As part of their environmental credo, the BBQ Kings encourage their international fans to use personal carbon credits to barbecue, rather than fly in fossil-fuel-hungry planes to attend their performances. The band contends that one Louisiana-style barbecue creates 38,000 times less carbon dioxide than a commercial flight from Galway to Graceland.

Known for crossing international time zones and musical styles -- often in the same song -- the BBQ Kings will serve up a whole new mess of originals and a new suite of well-grilled covers when they play The Seahorse on November 3rd.

The fabulous World Beat band Neon Mesa will open the show at 8:30 p.m. Environmental crusaders in their own right, Neon Mesa promotes the use of compact fluorescent lights, rather than neon, in flashing motel and barroom signs across North America.
