CEO Solo, TUFF & SHAMELESS in 2025 … First up is Thailand in January, Spring & Summer = TBA, Australia in September!

[jens]

Sounds like fun. But how does Cherie Curie headline over anyone? She was in a band over 40 years ago that had absolutely zero success. Joan and Lita became famous, yes. But that was due to their solo careers.

Billing the gig as “Shameless featuring the voice of TUFF” and not even mentioning her would sell the same…if not more. IMO. Am I just completely wrong?

Having "The Runaways" on the event poster is the reason people will show up for this.

[MetalSludgeCEO]

Just added... TUFF returns to OHIO this summer....

These 2 shows in Ohio, will be with Chase, Dougie Manross (Guitar) myself and Tod 'T' Burr.

Fri. July 12th "Panini's Grill" Westlake, OH *w/ Billy Morris & The Sunset Strip
Sat. July 13th "Picktown Palooza" Pickerington, OH (Columbus) * w/ Quiet Riot

[HoldenSSV]

Picktown has brought in a lot of Sludge bands over the past few years. Winger, Firehouse, Dokken, Night Ranger, and others.

Steelheart will be there the night before Tuff.

No Billy on the Ohio run??
Is it so he can run the truck while Todd's out??

"""""""""""""No Billy on the Ohio run??

No... using Dougie Manross.... as we did last summer... and he RIPS!

No... Billy is double booked that weekend, so we're using Dougie on Sat...

And... with us being added to the QR show in Picktown, we then jumped on Billy's Friday nite show in CLE, to fill out the weekend.

July 28th 2024 - "De Verlichte Geest" Kortridjk Belgium

Kortrijk, without that D at the end.

[MetalSludgeCEO]

Well... after a few months of running non-stop... and a much needed rest... I am ready to go again!

First I was in Peru for a week then Thailand for 3 weeks, then to Ohio and back to California, then to Miami and on the MORC Cruise for a week, and found my way back to California only to leave 5 days later and I was off to Brazil for 2 weeks.

Now I have been in So. Calif. for 3 months finalizing my Stevie Rachelle "Covers" CD and the "Summer Of '89" song..... but... now it's that time again, to hit the road and do some Tour Dates!

Next up, a weekend in Ohio, then off to Europe for a few weeks in Germany, Holland, Belgium and the Czech Republic... then back home to California for a few shows on the West Coast in Hollywood and down in Phoenix Arizona!

I am very much looking forward to it...

That’s pretty cool. I live in Pickerington AND Columbus. Some of my neighbors would be very offended at being called Columbus, but they probably aren’t the audience for this show. Historically there have been a lot of pretty good events and festivals with “80s bands” in the area.

No offense was meant... other than to give people the "general" location.

Looking forward to this event, it sounds like it's run very well!

See ya there.

If anyone finds any more clips, please share... including the clips of Ted Poley kicking the keyboards over on stage... and melting down.... it was a rough week for him... but in my eyes, that doesn't excuse his behavior, I have to say, there were some very disappointed people there.

$tEvil

Looks like that clip finally found its way online. What was the problem exactly? That the keyboard was not working? Or that the guy was setting the keyboard up during Ted’s set?

Gotta admit it was kinda funny seeing him get so mad during Feels Like Love!

I was in the dressing room up there, and some of the guys came in and said "Ted is freaking out on stage and kicking over keyboards"

That's me on the balcony in the white wife-beater at 2:20 ish... I had just come out and watched part of his melt-down.

Ted was completely out of line and the promoters were not happy with him at all.

$tEvil

[ParaDime77]

Wow, not 1 kick to the keyboards but 2 kicks

Was this keyboard guy plugged into the monitors where it was interfering with Ted’s mix? Crowd had to be like WTF is this dude doing!?

OHIO was awesome... a bit of Rain, and some Humidity... but... overall was a great time!

You still haven't corrected "Kortridjk", after copy-pasting this shit dozens of times.

To be fair Kortridjk isn’t a big college town.

Finally getting caught up after the 2+ weeks in Europe... lots of fun, but, also very challenging at points.

And... I have to say, the pre-orders, and current ordering pattern for my NEW solo CD "Covers" has well exceeded my expectations...

Super stoked, anyone who is following my social media has seen this, I usually post videos of orders, and shout-out those who bought... and it's a grip! Thank you SO MUCH!

Have a few more days of mega mail-out work, and then we're gearing up for our TUFF West Coast weekend, who's coming out?
