TROUBLE To Tour East Coast In September

July 28, 2008

Legendary Chicago doomsters TROUBLE have issued the following update:

"Thanks to all that came out and supported TROUBLE throughout the West Coast tour. It was great to get back out west and see many old friends, and to meet many new ones. These tours would not be possible without the amazing die-hard fanbase that TROUBLE has. You people rule. Time now to shift focus to the East Coast. TROUBLE will begin working east starting September 11, 2008. This tour will go through parts of Canada and work down through Florida. Dates to follow shortly."

TROUBLE will headline the Alehorn Of Power III festival on August 9 at the Double Door in Chicago with SLOUGH FEG, BIBLE OF THE DEVIL, ICARUS WITCH and PHARAOH.

Singer Kory Clarke of WARRIOR SOUL fame joined TROUBLE in late April.

TROUBLE founder and guitarist Rick Wartell explained at the time: "It was a mutual agreement [between now-former TROUBLE singer Eric Wagner and the rest of the band to go our separate ways]. You need to follow your heart in this business and if you are not into it 100% then it is time to move on. We all felt it was the best thing for all parties involved. There are no hard feelings. I'm sure Eric will continue making music and we wish him the best."

Wartell went on to say: "We are very excited to have Kory step in and take over the vocals for TROUBLE. He's been one of my favorite frontmen in this industry for many years. He will add a new dimension that we can use. It's not like we just picked out some guy to fill in, this is one of rock's most dynamic and creative frontmen in the industry. I know that when TROUBLE fans get a taste of what Kory does they will not be disappointed at all. Anyone who has seen Kory with WARRIOR SOUL already knows what to expect, and it's awesome."
