Chriss Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 I just came across this article on Spin.com. While in Orlando, Paramore received an award as Hard Rock's 2008 Artist of the Year. There's a bunch of pictures of the them being presented with their award and of the show in Orlando on the 27th and this short article: Paramore: Hard Rock's 2008 Artist of the Year Backstage in Orlando, the youthful punk foursome receive the rock'n'roll installation's esteemed honor, and then celebrate with a searing gig. By William Goodman Joining the likes of Death Cab for Cutie, Kanye West, and the White Stripes before them, Franklin, TN's punk mavens Paramore were honored last night (March 27) at Hard Rock's state-of-the-art flagship venue in Orlando, FL with the rock'n'roll establishment's highest respect: The Hard Rock Artist of the Year Award. As 2008's recipient of the esteemed prize, Paramore were presented with a glass-encased photo of the band on the cover of this year's Hard Rock Annual, and a mounted guitar and microphone, courtesy of Hard Rock president and CEO Hamish Dodds. And once the formalities were said and done, it was time to celebrate; after a slice of cake, Paramore, led by pixie-like frontwoman Hayley Williams, stormed the stage and busted out a set of tunes off the band's latest album, Riot!, to a packed-to-capacity crowd of over 3,000. And as fans sang along to each and every word, it was proof-positive that Paramore certainly deserved the revered nod. http://www.spin.com/articles/paramore-hard-rocks-2008-artist-year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
