We have been longtime fans of Atlanta rock band, The Biters and we are ecstatic with Tuk’s solo debut. He is ready to keep the rock n roll torch burning strong. The band will have a wild year as they will be opening for the highly anticipated tour of the year, Mötley Crüe Stadium Tour which will also feature Def Leppard, Poison and Joan Jett. Debut Single Today they released their debut single, What Kinda Love and we are hooked on it! Produced by the legendary Rob Cavallo (Green Day, Eric Clapton, My Chemical Romance) explains “People that really like honest-to-god Rock and Roll – this is the kind of stuff they’ll love. If you are a Tom Petty fan or a Bruce Springsteen fan, if you like really great old-fashioned American Rock and Roll then I believe you’ll like Tuk’s music because it’s cut from that same cloth. It’s original and it is it’s own [Read More]

Mötley Crüe IS BACK! Watch the video announcing the return!

November 18, 2019

We have heard all the rumors and now we have news! Mötley Crüe have just announced they are back! Watch the video and read the official statement: Los Angeles, CA, November 18, 2019: Almost 6 years after signing a Cessation of Touring agreement, the contract is off the table because a whole new generation of Crüeheads are relentlessly demanding for the band to come back together. Following the huge success of their NETFLIX biopic THE DIRT, Mötley Crüe has seen a massive surge in new audience. And the band best known for breaking the rules has destroyed their cessation of touring contract in true Mötley Crüe-fashion, by literally blowing it up. After 35 years together on stage, and 30 years since the release of Dr. Feelgood, the members of Mötley Crüe parted ways without speaking to each other after their Final Show on December 31, 2015. Vince, Nikki, Mick and Tommy didn’t come together again until 2018 to participate in the making of THE DIRT movie, which unexpectedly brought them closer together [Read More]

Mötley Crüe set to release full length live concert film of final performance

December 30, 2015

It is amazing to think that we are just a day away from the final performance of Mötley Crüe. They are set to perform one last time tomorrow night at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. The two year Final Tour has been quite a success and definitely the tour of the decade! We caught one of the last dates of the tour in Las Vegas and it was absolutely amazing from start to finish! We were blown away with their spectacular performance last Sunday at MGM Grand in Las Vegas. The venue was packed to capacity and the adrenaline was running high. The set was incredible and included fan favorites, both old and new. Tommy Lee and his Cruecifly had us in awe as well as when Nikki and Vince circled the arena on huge overhead platforms, and Mick rose from the stage on a mighty lift. The passion was evident in every member as well as every audience member. It created a magical night that will live on in my memory. Our photographer [Read More]
