BAND ANNOUNCE FALL TOUR DATES
AS THEY’RE POSITIONED ON TOP OF THE ROCK CHARTS
WITH SMASH SECOND SINGLE “FALL TO PIECES”
FROM THEIR PLATINUM ‘CONTRABAND’ ALBUM
The city of West Hollywood, CA has declined a permit for VELVET REVOLVER to perform Tuesday night, October 12 atop the Hustler Hollywood store, Larry Flynt’s adult emporium on the Sunset Strip. Flynt, whom VELVET REVOLVER feel embodies the true rebellious spirit of rock ‘n roll, had signed off on the band’s wish to perform a set of songs from their platinum CONTRABAND album for fans before heading out of town to launch their national concert tour Saturday, October 16.
Now comes word that rock’s most explosive new group–lead singer SCOTT WEILAND, guitarist SLASH, bassist DUFF McKAGAN, drummer MATT SORUM and guitarist DAVE KUSHNER–will perform Wednesday night, October 13 at another Los Angeles location, to be revealed Wednesday afternoon.
Currently #1 on the Active and Mainstream Rock charts and #2 on the Modern Rock chart with the second single “Fall To Pieces,” VELVET REVOLVER have announced the preliminary dates for their fall tour.
Rolling Stone calls the album a “powerhouse,” Newsweek describes the band as “truly explosive” and Maxim says, “Slash and Scott Weiland bring unpredictability back to rock.”
