PRESS RELEASE
The
Black Crowes
With Special Guests Mat Mays and
El Torpedo
Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre
Wednesday, May 3rd, 2006
7:30PM (Doors 6:30PM)
When The Black
Crowes debuted with Shake
Your Money Maker in 1990,
the band's Rolling Stones
swagger and Faces boogie was
decidedly out of style. But the
success of that debut, spurred
on by the Otis Redding cover
"Too Hot to Handle" and the
ballad "She Talks to Angels",
catapulted the record into the
Top Ten and multi-platinum
sales. Suddenly, The
Black Crowes were a
force to be reckoned with, and
vintage classic rock sounds were
once again in the charts.
Over the next few years the
Atlanta-born band, fronted by
vocalist Chris
Robinson and his brother
Rich on guitar, built on the
inroads made by that first
record. Successful albums such
as Amorica and By Your
Side, as well as
ecstatically received concerts
made The Black
Crowes a household name.
A double-disc collaboration with
Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page
introduced the group to new fans
while Lions, The
Crowes' 2001 album, was
hailed by some as their best
yet. A summer tour with Oasis
followed, and then The
Crowes went on a lengthy
hiatus. Reappearing on the
concert scene just last year,
the band was as hot as ever with
a renewed line-up and commitment
to its music. Freak N Roll...
Into the Fog, a just-released
DVD of a filmed Fillmore
Auditorium show last August, and
another tour makes it official:
The Black
Crowes are back.
Don’t miss The Black
Crowes when they perform
live at the Save-On Foods
Memorial Centre Theatre Bowl in
Victoria on Wednesday, May 3rd
with special guests Matt
Mays and El
Torpedo.
