San Fran Residency in June !
JUNE 15-17 AT GREAT AMERICAN MUSIC HALL.
Exumer:
As many of you already noticed, we had to cancel our North American tour, due to the U.S. authorities not processing the work visas on time for our 3 German members. We waited until the very last, possible minute before it was utterly too late for us to realize this tour. We are as disappointed, as many of you are and we promise to reschedule this tour and add a few more dates ASAP. Again, we are broken hearted about this outcome, but we are entirely of the mercy of the government when it comes to processing paperwork, and it didn’t work out this time around. There will be another statement by the U.S. promoter later in the day. Stay tuned for updates on our socials.
Mem, Ray, T., Matthias and Marc…
THE LEGENDARY DEMOLITION 23 RETURNS FOR A FEW SHOWS IN THE FALL 2023 IN FINLAND
The legendary Demolition 23, founded by Michael Monroe and Sami Yaffa in New York in 1993, will return to play 6 shows in Finland in the fall 2023. The band’s debut album ”Demolition 23” (1994) was produced by Little Steven Van Zandt and ended up as their only release, as the band broke up in 1995.
The original guitarist, Jay Hening (RIP) was replaced live by Nasty Suicide in 1994.
The idea for these shows came after the band reunited for the first time in 30 years, performing as the ”support band” for Michael’s sold out 60th Birthday Bash at the Ice Stadium in Helsinki on September 23rd, 2022.
Michael Monroe:
“The Demolition 23 reunion at the Helsinki Ice Stadium was so cool and so much fun that we started talking about doing some more shows in the future. So now it’s actually happening, as we’re playing a short tour of 6 gigs in Finland this fall. These shows are very special so don’t miss them!”
After the band’s demise in 1995, their only album was unavailable for decades until it was rereleased in the fall of 2022, remastered with 3 bonus tracks, on Little Steven’s Wicked Cool label in all formats – digitally, on CD and now for the first time on vinyl too.

That they are still roaring and soaring should be no surprise. That’s just how they are built. TESLA may have been born in the mid-80s, but their bluesy, soulful sound is strongly embedded in the roots of organic, authentic, 1970s rock and roll. The same roots that produced bands like The Allman Brothers, Grand Funk Railroad, AC/DC, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and Aerosmith.
The ground started shaking in Sacramento, CA, in 1984; gold country that would soon be producing some platinum. They started out as City Kidd, until a suggested name change to TESLA, honoring the eccentric inventor Nikola Tesla who pioneered all things electrical. Their 1986 platinum debut album, Mechanical Resonance, included Top 40 hits “Modern Day Cowboy” and “Little Suzi.” 1989’s double-platinum The Great Radio Controversy included hits “Heaven’s Trail (No Way Out)” and “Love Song”. Suddenly, TESLA, who had been touring with bands such as Def Leppard and David Lee Roth, earned headlining status. In 1990, TESLA helped reshape the face of modern rock music by stripping down to the Five Man Acoustical Jam, an informal collection of their biggest hits peppered with rock and roll classics by the Beatles, Stones, and others. This album produced their biggest hit single to date, a cover of Five Man Electrical Band’s “Signs.” Other 90s albums from TESLA include platinum selling Psychotic Supper and Bust a Nut. The band continues to record and release material including 9 new albums since 2000 and recently debuted their new single, “Time To Rock!”
TESLA has endured many of the same taste-changing challenges that affected many in the post-grunge world, but through it all, their blue-collar work ethic and dedication to the faithful fan base has helped them not just survive but thrive. TESLA’s legacy is alive and well as they continue to record and sellout venues all over the world. As comfortable, rugged, and dependable as your favorite pair of boots, they endure. TESLA is a celebration of the greatest spirits of rock and roll.

Vocals: Jeff Keith
Guitar: Frank Hannon
