TOMMY THAYER To Reunite With BLACK 'N BLUE For OREGON MUSIC HALL OF FAME Induction

July 15, 2010

BLACK 'N BLUE will reform the classic lineup of Tommy Thayer, Jaime St. James, Pete Holmes, Patrick Young and Jeff Warner for an appearance at the Oregon Music Hall Of Fame. BLACK 'N BLUE is also among the inductees at this year's event. Also scheduled to perform is SHOCK, which was inducted into the Oregon Music Hall Of Fame in 2008.

This year's master of ceremonies will be the ever-colorful Tony Starlight.

Tickets go on sale Friday, July 16 through Tickets West outlets, including Fred Meyer and Music Millennium.

Tickets are $25 in advance or $30 at the door. VIP tickets, which include reserved seating, after-induction party and poster, are $90 in advance.

In the late '70s, a glam metal band appeared in Portland called MOVIE STAR. The band included guitarist Tommy Thayer, vocalist Jaime St. James, drummer Pete Holmes, bassist Patrick Young and guitarist Jeff Warner. That band became BLACK 'N BLUE, releasing their 1984 debut album on Geffen with the hit single "Hold On To 18". The band recorded three more albums for Geffen, with two produced by Gene Simmons of KISS. The band broke up in 1989, reuniting in 1997 and again in 2007. The band is currently reunited without Tommy, who replaced Ace Frehley in KISS in 2002.
