TMS update, specials & tickets. Rocklahoma, Happy 4th, more.
7/3/09: Sorry for the late update, been a little crazy with the schedule lately. I'll have a more detailed blog soon, but for now some quick stuff to pass along:
I will be live tonight on Q104.3 NYC and www.q1043.com at 11PM EST. All American hard rock and metal! All music for your holiday party!!
Two That Metal Show specials airing from England and the Download Festival. TMS On The Road premieres 7/17 at 10PM and TMS Presents Download (more live performances from bands) at 11PM. They will repeat often. Don't miss these specials as TMS goes international! Also, all this weekend me, Don & Jim are hosting Rock Across America from NYC on VH1 Classic right through Monday. New TMS studio shows start shooting in NYC late Sept. Please be sure your email is registered with this site and you will get notice on how to get tickets when they are available.
I will be live Monday 7/6 on Sirius/XM for Eddie Trunk Live. Rocklahoma block of music, Kip Winger calls in.
Leaving for Rocklahoma Wednesday. Hosting all four days. See you if your going. Jackyl replaces Thin Lizzy. Spoke to Sykes a couple nights ago. Looks like he will now focus on doing solo shows and relaunching Blue Murder! Also looks like Scott Gorham will do a new lineup of Lizzy. I get the impression it kind of ran its course for Sykes, and Tommy Aldridge being injured and not being able to play seemed to really derail the tour. HUGELY psyched is Sykes does BM. Been on him forever for that!
Congrats to Dream Theater on the #6 Billboard entry. Unreal for a band that is so not commercial and a testament to building an amazing fan base by doing what you believe in.
I know have have not Twittered much, however I will be doing many reports via Twitter from Rocklahoma. You can follow me at therealedtrunk on Twitter.
Have a happy safe 4th and THANK YOU to all our men and woman of the military past and present on this great American holiday!!!
