As their summer-long tour with Aerosmith criss-crosses the country, FUEL will take time out to perform a special radio show at the Intrepid Air & Space Museum in New York City Friday, August 3. The show–sponsored by 92.3 K-ROCK NY–will be held outdoors on the deck of the U.S.S. Intrepid, an aircraft carrier berthed on the west side of Manhattan which was in service from 1943 to 1974 and saw action in World War II, Korea and Vietnam. In other FUEL news, the group–singer BRETT SCALLIONS, songwriter/guitaristCARL BELL, bassist JEFF ABERCROMBIE and drummer KEVIN MILLER–have taped a special performance at the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame in Cleveland which will air on MTV at 8:00 PM ET/PT this Wednesday, July 25.

FUEL–whose music was described by Bass Player as “big, muscular, and melodic in the extreme”–are touring in support of their second platinum CD SOMETHING LIKE HUMAN (Epic). The album’s recently released third single “Bad Day” is #14 on Billboard’s Modern Rock Tracks chart and is also receiving airplay on Hot 100 and Top 40 stations. “Bad Day” follows the massive Modern and Mainstream rock success of the album’s first two singles, the top five “Innocent” and “Hemorrhage (In My Hands)” (which was #1 on Billboard’s Modern Rock Tracks chart for 12 consecutive weeks). SOMETHING LIKE HUMAN is lodged at #60 on the album chart, 43 weeks after its release.
