The new Ringo Starr album, Ringo 2012 , is the ex-Beatle’s 17th studio album, recorded at his home in Los Angeles, California. Singer, songwriter and drummer Ringo Starr , 71, is still recording great pop/rock music and the new Ringo 2012 album is so cool it even features Edgar Winter . Ringo is as hip as ever and his latest album allows the legendary megastar to have some fun on his own terms, in his own way and in his own time. The album was produced by Starr with famous pals Joe Walsh , Dave Stewart , Benmont Tench , Kenny Wayne Shepherd , Van Dyke Parks , Charlie Haden and Don Was . The lead single from Ringo 2012 is “Wings,” a cool reggae rock song written by Ringo Starr and Vini Poncia . Watch the LIVE performance video below of “Wings” and see Ringo looking 20 years younger than his age.

As expected , New York’s 1OAK unveils a Vegas version of itself at the Mirage Hotel this weekend. One of the most sought after (read: sold out) tickets in town for New Year’s, this 1OAK is not expected to be another blockbuster Vegas club. Instead, owners Scott Sartiano and Richie Akiva told the Wall Street Journal that this location is “going to be more intimate, more exclusive. It’s 16,000 square feet, and a 1,600-person occupancy.” Most clubs in Vegas have at least a 5,000-person occupancy; New York’s 1OAK has an occupancy of 300. When asked about expansion, the partners discuss their strategy and emphasis on building a consistent experience, so that New Yorkers who frequent 1OAK in New York will also want to visit the Vegas location. Says Akiva, “We’re not just in night life—we’re in the hospitality business.” · 1OAK Owners Bring the 1OAK Experience To Las Vegas [~ENY~] · Inside Las Vegas’ 1Oak, On Target To Launch NYE [~ELA~] · 1Oak in Vegas Confirmed [~ELA~] Read more here: Nightlife: 1OAK Gets Ready to Party at the Mirage on NYE
