So as I was wandering the internet today I came across the story of the Family Arena down near St. Louis. They have just singed a deal to become the home of the new St. Louis Lingerie Football League team. So this got me thinking, why can’ t Peoria have a team? Ever since we lost the Peoria Pirates there has not been arena football at the Civic Center. This would solve that in a heartbeat. I am pretty sure this new team would pull in more people than the Pirates ever did. This seems like a no brainier to me Xers, check out some Lingerie Football action and tell me I am wrong.

We would just have to come up with a name for the team. Leave a comment below with what you would call the team.

This is off their new self titled album that is in stores right now. I want to know what you Xers think of it. Will the new single “Play In Peoria” as the old saying goes? Make sure you vote and let us know what you think!

In anticipation of the concert I’ve been featuring some of my favorite tunes from our headliner Shinedown, today it’s the song “Devour”. This was the first single released off of 2008′s “The Sound of Madness” which was the third studio release from the band. “Devour” is so far Shinedown’s fastest rising single reaching the top 5 of the Billboard Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart in four weeks. Singer-guitarist Brent Smith says that a trip he took in 2006 to Iraq inspired him to write the song. After meeting soldiers and seeing what they lived with everyday the song just sort of came to him. He said he chose the word devour because the soldiers are “devoured by hate, devoured by love, devoured by confusion, devoured by the fact that you don’t know if you’ll make it to tomorrow”. In a countdown interview he even said the song was a letter to the President, George W. Bush, and his distaste towards him.

Each  Thursday we’ll bring you a different animal from TAPS-No Kill Shelter.

Remember that classic moment in ‘Jersey Shore’ where Snooki got decked in the face by some moron? Well, a copycat crime just occurred at Rockfest in Kansas City, as a Snooki doppleganger got her faced kicked in by a similar moron — only this time, the attacker got the hell beat out of him at the music festival, which was headlined by Slash, Shinedown and Five Finger Death Punch.

One of the cardinal rules of live shows is to never hit a woman. If a dude gets hit in the pit accidentally or on purpose, you shake it off or you settle it one-on-one. The danger of getting hurt at a rock show is one of the adrenaline-fueled reasons why live shows are so exciting and cathartic, but when you hit a girl, all bets are off — a lesson this guy won’t forget anytime soon.

The video starts off with a concertgoer trying to talk some sense into another guy who doesn’t look too happy. Apparently the Snooki clone was the final straw, as her words landed her a brutal boot to the face. Thankfully, this douchebag didn’t get away clean, as a gaggle of burly dudes quickly converged onto the attacker, sending him to the ground and beating the holy hell out of him.

Guys like this thug here serve as complete misrepresentations of how rock and metal fans act at live shows. The moral of the story is — if you’re going to act as a harmful and brutal male stereotype, you’re going to get what you give. A rock crowd is a singular body — if someone falls, you pick them back up, if someone drops their glasses, you give the person space to find them again … but if you go against what is best for your fellow concertgoers, you will be exiled.

Micaela Schaefer is our new 105.7 The X Daily Babe-Off queen.  Honestly, her lack of clothing and the fact that she lets her boobies hang out is probably what does it.  Plus she is tall and those eyes… yum.  So we decided to put her up against a short, sexy, super babe who is well known for her fantastic booty!  Vida Guerra takes on Micaela Schaefer… Who is hotter?  YOU decide.

Micaela Schaefer (left) vs Vida Guerra (right)… vote for your favorite hottie, then check back tomorrow to see who wins!

He also knows how to connect with his audience. This entire band is honest, and are the real deal. There is no lame ass pretentiousness. The fans know it, the music speaks it. Jason Hook today on the Morning-X, and listen for last minute free tickets for the X Spring Fling!

Disturbed may be on hiatus for an unspecified period of time, but vocalist David Draiman is set to return with an industrial rock project, for which he has just unveiled a whole slew of details via Twitter.

It’s amazing that Draiman can even find time to work on a new project with the feverish amount of interaction the vocalist engages in on his Twitter page. The Disturbed frontman, whose communication with fans used to be solely through his rhythmic vocal assault and trademark grunts, is now using the social networking site to get his voice out to the public, 140 characters at a time.

On any given day you can find Draiman’s lengthy thoughts on everything from his favorite albums to the complexities of the Trayvon Martin case. The singer is also pretty good about responding to Tweets from fans, a few of his recent answers have filled in the blanks on the status of his previously announced project with former Filter axeman Geno Lenardo. Draiman has described the project as being in the vain of Nine Inch Nails and Ministry.

During a recent series of Tweets, it was revealed that a lot of work has been going into the project and they are “almost ready to record” a full album. Draiman also made mention of a book he has in the works and hopes both projects will surface “around the same time.” Tracking for the new project is set to begin May 31 and to the question of when Disturbed will be recording again, the vocalist has a much less specific, saying “not anytime soon.”

It’s not 1994, but Helmet and the Toadies will reclaim their place in the spotlight this summer, teaming up on the road to relive past glories and show off the vitality of their most recent works.

Frontman Page Hamilton has seen the Helmet lineup change over the years, but the group is still rocking as hard as ever. Their last album, ‘Seeing Eye Dog,’ was released in 2010. As for Toadies, they’ve been quite busy since reuniting for the 2008 release ‘No Deliverance.’ Their latest disc, ‘Play. Rock. Music,’ was expected to arrive as an EP by now, but the band’s creative flow was so much that they decided to continue in the studio to complete a full-length disc. ‘Play. Rock. Music’ is now tentatively scheduled for a late July release.

The veteran acts will be supported on the road by buzzworthy upstarts UME, who will take part in all shows with exception of the tour opener in Houston and closer in Denver. The trio’s full-length album, ‘Phantoms,’ was released last August. Tickets go on sale May 18 in most markets, with the Ft. Lauderdale and Denver shows going up a day later.

Every Wednesday Jenna posts a new video on youtube and really they are hilarious, this is an old one but another Jenna gem!

No surprise that this guy is from a country other than the U.S.  Regardless, this guy is a real turdbox for not being able to drive a scooter.

BTW… there is nothing wrong with riding a fat chick.  And speaking of… why do fat girls give good head?  BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO!

How do we know that she rocks?   “I have a feisty personality and badass attitude!”  Plus, she LOVES “Nirvana, Slipknot, Mudvayne , Saliva, Theory of a Deadman, Sick Puppies, Queen, Reo Speedwagon (the oldies are the best band s to grow up listening 2.thanks momma).”

If she had one wish, it would be to, “Stop bullying…its terrible how people treat each other these days. From adults to children it NEEDS TO END!”

Born and raised in Peoria, this hottie loves “boating, fourwheeling, and camping with the family. And on really hyped nights bartending Downtown Peoria at Shifters Pub. ”

If you are interested, she is “Not married yet, but not single. I like cocky but not to confident. Trustworthy & personable. Shhh…i have a weakness for dimples. ”

You can find her bartending, cheering on the Peoria Rivermen, and in Full Throttle Midwest.  “Everyone needs to pick it up and if they come into Shifters Pub I will sign it =:”

She also wants to give a shout out to, “Doug Peterlin my very first photographer & great friend. Also James Apple may he rest in peace for always believing in me. And everyone else who has pushed me to keep modeling regardless of those whom try to discourage and bring me down.”

Enough talking… check out her pics, follow Angel on Facebook, and email ryan@1057thexrocks.com if you are interested in being our “Peoria Babe of the Week!”
