KROKUS To Tour U.S. For First Time Since 1988

August 25, 2005

Veteran Swiss hard rockers KROKUS will embark on their first U.S. tour since 1988 in early September.

Last year's U.S. releases of "Rock the Block", the band's newest studio album with Marc Storace's signature vocals, and "Fire and Gasoline", a two-disc live set that shows KROKUS at their best – onstage – lay the groundwork for this fall's U.S. run. It will start in New York and end on the West Coast, hitting as many major American markets in between as they can at this time. The tour, like the live album, will feature all the old KROKUS hits and fan favorites from "Heatstrokes" and "Longstick Goes Boom" to "Midnite Maniac", the power ballad "Screaming In The Night", "Night Wolf", "American Woman" and others off of their biggest albums like "Headhunter" and "The Blitz". They will follow this mini-tour with a bigger U.S. tour in early 2006 in support of a new album
