Big Band Royal Crown Revue to Perform Special Engagement New Year’s Eve Show

The OC Pavilion (http://www.ocpavilion.com) is pleased to welcome big band Royal Crown Revue for a special engagement New Year’s Eve concert event. Royal Crown Revue will be returning from their sold out Australian tour in time to “Swing in the New Year” at the OC Pavilion. The evening’s celebration offers different party packages starting at just $95.

The band is fresh off of a live performance last month with rock legend Gene Simmons, front man of the rock band KISS. Simmons and Royal Crown Revue performed in Las Vegas in “The Joint” at the famous Hard Rock Casino. The performance was filmed and will be featured in two upcoming episodes of Simmon’s acclaimed Family Jewels television show on A&E. A sneak peak video of the Gene Simmons Royal Crown Revue is featured on http://www.genesimmons.com/.

Royal Crown Revue is currently in the studio recording their version of Elvis’s “Blue Christmas”, the eagerly anticipated single, which is scheduled to be released in early December.

The band’s performance on New Year’s Eve will include three sets of their signature 40s-era swing sound. The orchestra floor will feature a large dance area for guests to swing the night away.

“Swing in the New Year” features an evening of jazz and swing music, including classes for the amateur swing fans by OC Swing prior to Royal Crown Revue’s performance. The main level is host to a Cognac Lounge and Hors D’Oeuvres and will feature the special Midnight Champagne Toast. Party favors will be offered to guests upon arrival.

The Vault VIP Lounge, formerly a basement vault, will be transformed into a Swing-era casino with entertainment from a live jazz band and various gaming tables. A bank roll is included with the General Party Pass with additional rolls available for purchase. Winning chips will be turned in for raffle tickets for a special drawing featuring tons of great prizes.
