Also,.... the FOOD is incredible... wow... I feel the cuisine, is Top 3 for me, after being in 30+ countries now... damn!

If I lived here, I would DEF be pushing Wolfgang numbers...seriously... anyone ever visited, and your thoughts on the food?

People... also... very nice... very polite... mostly good people here... some poor folks for sure, and like in Thailand, I have given money away every day.

The gig... was great, my band was great, overall, it's been a fantastic week, and these promoters, could NOT be nicer people... very good humans.

Met Mili for the first time... good guy, he and I chatted at dinner a few times, seems like a very grounded, hard-working man... respect.

Ted... well, as most know, his Father passed away a few weeks ago, and he's not in a good place right now... and sadly, he let it get the best of him... he had a little (or big in reality) meltdown on stage... and ranted about a bunch of stuff, then at some point during the show, kicked the keyboards over... in truth, it was ugly.

I am sure there will be some video that surfaces at some point... kinda shocked at what went down. The good, the bad, and the ugly... already seen some clips on my IG, that fans have shared... the sound was great, stage, set-up, players, PA, lighting, digital screen backdrop, back-stage, etc... all was GREAT!

Other than that,... the week has been great... can't say enough nice things about Peru... I will be back, and so will the fans... who came out and supported!

Post is here... > https://www.facebook.com/stevierachelle ... 5GCK4a7YJl

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.

My guess is that it’s the unreleased Nitro album from a few years ago.

Or Who the Hell Am I box set with demos and an acoustic tour with Keri Kelli on guitar.

Well, put me down for one box set and a couple concert tickets if you change your mind. Path of Choices, Little Black Light and So Many Seasons are the Stevie Rachelle singer/songwriter trifecta.

Busy year! Cool MORC t-shirt... I dig it!

Mattley is already ordering four -- one to sleep in, one to eat breakfast in, one for work, and one for after work.

So.... it looks like... SHAMELESS will be playing about 6-8 shows in late July (25th) into early August (4th)...

I don't have exact info to post yet... but... it appears we will be playing shows in...

Munich Germany
Lictenfels Germany
And a few other German stops too, perhaps Mannheim and Hamburg?

Also... it looks like Belgium and Holland will be likely shows!

So... who is in Germany, Belgium and Holland?

Well...?

I missed you the last time you were in the area but see you in Lichtenfels!

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?

You are completely wrong... but hey... it's all good... it isn't the 1st time, and won't be the last, that you make some out of bounds comment that is senseless.

Lots of you comment on stuff you have NO F'ING clue what you're talking about, but of course I am the asshole. Lol.

I’m assuming Tramp is doing all White Lion.

BUT…. If he’s doing any solo stuff, now is your chance to dust off Path of Choices and Little Black Light. Even just an acoustic thing during the set with So Many Seasons and IHKYG.

I think his audience would be cool with it.

I’m sure it will be a great show. Have fun!

Opening for Tramp’s White Lion. THAT makes sense. White Lion had hits and sold albums. Opposite of Currie. Unless…Cherie Currie has a following in Europe? Maybe so.
