United Capital Markets, which will be sponsoring the Margarita Madness event, has unofficially announced that 80’s hard rock/blues legends ZZ Top will headline the show. ZZ Top is currently on its “BEER DRINKERS AND HELL RAISERS TOUR 2003,” celebrating the group’s newest release, Mescalero, which hit stores last week.

The famed rock trio — Billy, Frank, and Dusty — are known for hot cars, spinning guitars, and Crystal Gayle-length beards.  Since its 1970 debut, aptly named “ZZ Top’s First Album,” the trio has released 17 albums 

Aside from their unique look, ZZ Top had hits in the 1970’s with “La Grange,” “Tush” and “Cheap Sunglasses” and was one of the staples of early MTV with videos for “Leggs,” “Sharp Dressed Man” and “Gimme All Your Lovin’.”

The band will play from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. on Thursday Oct. 9. The rock concert/cocktail party, will include food, and is open to all ABS East delegates.
