Also known as The Kings of Bachata, K.O.B., Aventura is a Bachata music group that got its start back in 1994. The members of Aventura are Anthony "Romeo" Santos, Lenny Santos, Henry Santos Jeter and Max Santos. In additional to Bachata music, Aventura is recognized for performing R&B and Reggaeton genres of music as well. To date, Aventura has sold more than one million albums featuring hits like Obsesion, All Up 2 You, La Boda, Los Infeles, Dile Al Amor, Por Un Segundo, Un Beso, Mi Corazoncito, Ella y Yo, Su Veneno and El Perdedor.

Unlike many new bands who start out with the intention of building popularity through the ranks of the general public, Aventura made their claim to fame by being true to family and friends. Group leader Anthony Santos was born and raised in the Bronx and grew up listening to many of the popular bachateros like Teodoro Reyes, Raulin Rodriguez, Blas Duran and Joe Veras. Combining their love of the music and family and sharing their interest in performing, Aventura first began performing for local young people and their friends. This is how Aventura gained momentum as well as popularity.

Aventura released their first studio album entitled Generation Next in 1999. It featured Cuando Volveras, their only hit single from the album at first. We Broke the Rules, their second album, was released in 2002. Their hit Obsesion would take them to the top of the charts around the world. Just a year later in 2003, Love & Hate, their third album was released. A year later, in 2004, the hit Hermanita put Aventura on the Billboard Hot Latin Tracks list. In 2005, God's Project was released and a year later, K.O.B. Live.

There has been no stopping Aventura ever since then. In 2009, they released The Last which made it to the top spot on Hot Latin Tracks. In October, Aventura joined the Hispanic Heritage celebration given by President Barack Obama. Aventura performed with great entertainers such as Marc Anthony, Gloria Estafan, Jennifer Lopez, Comedian George Lopez and a host of others. One thing that has set Aventura apart from other bands is that they have created their own unique style that infuses reggaeton, hip hop and R&B into a completely original style of bachata that includes both English and Spanish in the lyrics.

The Last The Tour is definitely proof of the success that Aventura is encountering at every turn. In November alone, Aventura has performed repeatedly to sold out audiences of adoring fans who have leaped at the opportunity to experience this exciting group live and in person. Starting in Chicago on November 20, every concert from that point through November 28 has sold out completely. This is, in no small part, a testament to the unique sound and powerful lyrics that Aventura brings to the stage.

The Last The Tour will continue through February, 2010 with appearances scheduled for Toyota Center in Houston (Texas), The Joint Hard Rock Café in Las Vegas (Nevada), Jobing Arena in Glendale (Arizona), San Diego Sports Arena in San Diego (California), HP Pavillion in San Jose (California), Staples Center in Los Angeles (California), Amway Arena in Orlando (Florida), American Airlines Arena in Miami (Florida), Madison Square Garden in New York (New York), Mohegan Sun in Connecticut and rounding back to Madison Square Garden on February 1, 2010 to close out the tour.

Already, appearances for December 15, January 20 and January 21 are completely sold out at scheduled locations. If you haven't experienced the excitement of Aventura live and in person, you owe it to yourself to get your hands on some of these tickets today!

Ticket America Has Your Metallica Tickets

If you're a fan, you already know that James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, Kirk Hammett and Robert Trujillo are the current members of the smash hits band Metallica. Did you know that former members included Ron McGovney, Dave Mustaine, Cliff Burton and Jason Newsted. Now you do. Metallica has been delighting audiences since 1981 when this heavy metal band first formed in Los Angeles, California. Also recognized for their skills in thrash metal, hard rock and speed metal, Metallica got its start when Ulrich posted an advertisement in his local paper.

Whether you appreciate the group most for their earlier releases that included aggressive tempos and fast instrumentals or are more of a fan of their newer releases, there's no question that Metallica has played their way to the top in the underground music community as well has hitting the top of the charts with their 1991 self-titled album. Their prior album Master of Puppets had already thrust Metallica into the limelight in 1986 and received critical acclaim as one of the most influential heavy thrash metal albums.

To date, Metallica has won nine Grammy Awards. This successful band has sold more than 100 million records around the world with the release of their album Death Magnetic. With two live albums, nine studio albums, forty-five singles, two EPs and twenty-four music videos, Metallica has shined in the star light of having five consecutive albums to make their debut at number one on Billboard 200. Tragedy struck Metallica when Burton was killed in a freak bus accident where other members of the band only sustained minor injuries. It was a devastating blow but after Burton's family gave their blessings, approximately 40 people tried out as a replacement before newcomer Newsted joined the band.

In May, 2009, Metallica was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. By this time, Newsted had left the band and been replaced by Trujillo. Both Newsted and Trujillo performed on stage and Burton's father was on hand to receive this prestigious award in his son's honor. In November, 2009, Metallica was on hand to perform at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's two-night series of concerts that were held at Madison Square Garden in New York.

True to the excitement that Metallica always creates at a concert, the band performed Sweet Jane with Lou Reed, All Day and All of the Night with Ray Davies, Iron man/Paranoid with Ozzy Osborne and outstanding renditions of For Whom the Bells Toll and Enter Sandman. HBO was on hand to record every step of the journey with Metallica for this fantastic event so you can expect the program to air on cable.

Currently, the World Magnet Tour lives up to its name in every sense of the word. Since January, Metallica has performed to sold out crowds across the United States and around the world. From the first concert, which was performed on January 12 at Bradley Center in Milwaukee, Wisconsin to their recent November 15 performances at Madison Square Garden in New York, New York fans everywhere have been snatching up tickets to see and hear this band perform live.

The World Magnet Tour continues through the end of 2009 with many venues already sold out for shows scheduled at Mandalay Bay in Vegas, Idaho Center in Boise, ARCO Arena in Sacramento, Honda Center in Anaheim and HP Pavilion in San Jose. With some much deserved time off for the Christmas and New Year's holidays, fans can expect Metallica to return to the tour circuit on January 19, 2010 when they'll be performing at Estadio San Marcos in Lima, Peru. From there, it's no stopping Metallica as they venture to Santiago (Chile), Porto Alegre (Brazil), Guadalajara and Monterrey (Mexico), Guatemala City (Guatemala), San Jose (Costa Rica), Panama City (Panama), Bogota (Columbia), Caracas (Venezula), San Juan (Puerto Rick), Oslo (Norway), Riga (Latvia), Vilnius (Lithuania), Moscow (Russia) and Belfast (N. Ireland).
