LOS ANGELES, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- April 26, 2007 -- After much speculation and anticipation
following the airing of their "BEHIND THE MUSIC" episode on VH1 last
spring, multiplatinum hard rock act RATT with vocalist Stephen Pearcy,
guitarist Warren DeMartini and drummer Bobby Blotzer will grace the stage
together for the first time since 1999. Plans for not only a U.S. summer
tour but a full-fledged comeback are being mapped out now as the band
prepares to hit the road with Poison. The band's own tour dates will extend
into the fall and may also include shows in Canada, Europe, Japan, South
America and Australia. Joining the band onstage will be bassist Robbie
Crane and guitarist John Corabi.
A full itinerary is still being finalized, but Poison and RATT will join
forces for a summer trek that is scheduled to begin June 13 at the Bi Lo
Center in Greenville, S.C., and wind around the country through the end of
August.
The tour, which brings the two bands onstage together for the first time
since 1999, will visit major U.S. cities such as Boston, Detroit, New York,
Oklahoma City and Los Angeles.
The band has recently aligned with Carl Stubner, CEO of Sanctuary Artist
Management (ZZ Top, Mick Fleetwood/co-manager of Fleetwood Mac, Tommy
Lee/Supernova, Paulina Rubio, Jack's Mannequin) and is booked by Jay Frey
at Paradise Artists.
RATT made their mark in the early '80s going "Round And Round" with a
string of hit songs, videos and four consecutive multiplatinum albums (over
16 million albums sold worldwide). Their arena-filling live shows set the
standard for all bands to follow. Creating anthems for the youth of that
era, their music and performances maintain a timeless quality to this day.
