The Dead Daisies Trot The Globe

Still riding a wave of support after last year’s release of the album Make Some Noise, The Dead Daisies is touring North America, Europe, Japan and South America in the coming months.

Jim Hill – John Corabi of The Dead Daisies
Van Andel Arena, Grand Rapids, Mich.

The band currently consists of Doug Aldrich (of Whitesnake and Dio) and David Lowy (of Red Phoenix and Mink) on guitar, John Corabi (of Motley Crue and The Scream) on vocals, Marco Mendoza (of Thin Lizzy and Whitesnake) on bass and Brian Tichy (who has played with Ozzy Osbourne and Foreigner), though the group has collaborated with many other musicians over the years.

The rockers are in Europe starting June 2 at Gelsenkirchen, Germany’s Rock Hard Festival. They stay on that continent until July 1, then the band plays a pair of shows in Japan July 5-6.
