TUFF is excited to visit Europe

1. What do you expect from this European tour and what kind of surprises do you prepare for us ?

I am VERY excited to come play Europe again. It will be first time ever to play in Sweden, France & Belgium. I have some connection with Sweden as I manage VAINS OF JENNA for 5 years, and hear about Sweden every day. Finally I will go play there. Can’t wait. As for surprises, we will play many fan faves from the TUFF & SHAMELESS catalog of CDs. We will also bring tshirts, and a ton of CDs and DVDs by both bands. Can’t wait to meet all the fans.

 

2. Is there any guest musicians that are going to join you all over Europe?

Well I will be singing. And TUFF drummer Jimi “Gunz” Lord will coming to Europe for his first ever tour. He played with TUFF during the “Religious Fix” tours in the 90s. Also, Alexx Michael & BC from SHAMELESS on bass & Guitar. We have spoke to a few “friends” throughout Europe and hope to have a guest or two at some shows. In 2009 Davy Vain from VAIN came to a show in Germany and played with us. Stay tuned?

 

3. What Tuff are up to now and when are we going to have a full release from them ?

Not sure about a full release. But I have a TUFF project planned and in the works for 2011. In short, it will be a 4-5 song E.P. called “What Comes Around Goes Around – Again” a 20 year anniversary of our debut with 4-5 remakes of the classics. Todd Chase will play bass for sure and possibly a special guest guitarist.

 

4. What Shameless are up to now and when are we going to have a full release from them ?

I will Alexx answer this. It’s his band, and I am a guest singer. I have done 4 studio and 1 live CD w/ them and am excited for whatever the future holds for SHAMELESS and me being involved.

 
5. A message from Tuff about the European fans ?

Come see the show. We are excited to play. Bring your old pictures and CDs, I will sign ALL of it. Bring some money too, I will have a lot of stuff. About a dozen CDs, several videos on DVD and swag!
