Equipment is being installed now so that one auditorium at ShowPlace 16 in Rockford will be able to show the hot, new 3-D Jonas Brothers movie starting Feb. 27.
Two 3-D auditoriums at the Lindo Theatre in Freeport already are in place for the showing of “Burning Up,” a documentary following concerts put on by The Jonas Brothers, America’s hottest boy-band group.
The movie is named after the trio’s best-selling album. Candid footage of the brothers is edited into their sold-out performances.

1. Remember The Heavils from Rockford, the metal band with guitars that members made from such items as toilet seats?
Well, The Heavils disbanded awhile back, but drummer Brian Milo is still in the biz, kind of. He’s traveling with The Last Vegas on the Saints of Los Angeles Tour, which plays Sunday at the MetroCentre featuring Motley Crue. He’s taking pictures of the band and acting as a drum technician for Nate Arling.
2. So, do we think Rick Nielsen, Cheap Trick frontman and Rockford resident, will show up on stage Sunday to play with the Crue? Maybe. In an e-mail earlier this month, Nielsen said he would if he was in town and if the Crue asked him to play.
“Better brush up on my Crue,” Nielsen said in the e-mail. “Hmmm, let me see, all in the key of E, tuned down a half step …. OK, got it ….”
