What’s New Pussycat?
The singer’s calendar for the rest of 2007 features several multi-night stands, including November 23-24 at Pechanga Casino in Temecula, Calif.; December 1-2 at the Hilton Hotel & Casino in Atlantic City, N.J.; and December 6-12 at the MGM Grand Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas.
Highlights of Jones’ 2008 trek, which kicks off February 12 at The Plaza Theatre in El Paso, Texas, include stops at the Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center in Dallas (February 18), the Florida Strawberry Festival in Plant City (March 5), Ho Chunk Casino in Baraboo, Wis. (March 14), Arlene Schnitzer Hall in Portland, Ore. (May 29), Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium (June 3), Conexus Arts Centre in Regina, Saskatchewan (June 8) and MTS Centre in Winnipeg, Manitoba (June 10).
Although Jones is well known for early hits like “It’s Not Unusual,” “What’s New Pussycat?” and “Delilah” and his 1988 cover of Prince‘s “Kiss” with Art of Noise, not to mention a hysterical turn in Tim Burton’s “Mars Attacks!,” his best selling album to date is 1999’s Reload.
His most recent release was the 2006 club track, “Stoned In Love,” with U.K. electronic act Chicane, which rose to the No. 7 spot on U.K. dance charts.
