Dirty Vegas at Caprice Night Club


Tonight.. Dirty Vegas at the Caprice Night Club. Click here to see the poster.

Dirty Vegas' self-titled debut was one of 2002s most provocative and popular releases, earning massive commercial success along with unanimous critical acclaim. The collection made a huge impact upon its June 4, 2002 arrival, landing at .7 with-a-bullet on the Billboard 200.

Driven by the dazzling Days Go By, DIRTY VEGAS went on to sell close to a million records worldwide... Days Go By was a major dance/pop crossover sensation, scoring Dirty Vegas a 2003 Grammy Award for Best Dance Single. The track was a Top 20 favorite on Billboards Hot 100, as well as a Top 10 hit on Billboards Top 40 Tracks. Following the release of the album, Dirty Vegas toured the four corners of the globe, developing a reputation as a powerful and entertaining live act.
