CRASH KELLY prepares to deliver live ‘Satisfaction'

With the group's new album, the Gilby Clarke-produced Electric Satisfaction, in stores tomorrow (July 25), Canadian rockers CRASH KELLY have scheduled a series of concerts that will take them across America over the next three weeks and see them perform alongside some of the biggest names in rock.

First, the group will drive from Toronto to Buffalo, N.Y., to do an in-store signing and acoustic performance at the Walden Galleria Mall FYE as a precursor to a gig at Desiderios that night. Three nights later, the group will triumphantly return to their hometown Molson Amphitheatre - where they performed alongside Motley Crue last summer - to play with glam icons Poison and Cinderella.

From there, the band will head to the Buffalo Chip Campground in Sturgis, S.D. on Aug. 5 to play the legendary Sturgis Motorcycle Rally alongside Alice Cooper. Both bands will then head to Billings, Mont. the following night. CRASH KELLY recently supported Cooper during a cross-Canadian tour and covered his classic "Cold Ethyl" on Electric Satisfaction, and the band looks forward to playing with the Shock Rock legend once again.

"Playing with Alice Cooper was the culmination of many teenage fantasies, and it really felt like the beginning of the next phase for CRASH KELLY," guitarist Sean Kelly says. "The songs I write are designed to capture the feeling of the best of the ‘70s arena rock giants, and to actually share the stage with one of those giants was an immense pleasure and privilege. We can't wait to do it all over again!"

From Billings, the band will fly to Southern California, where they're scheduled to play a series of shows - two on the legendary Sunset Strip, and another in nearby Orange County as part of the prestigious International Pop Overthrow festival.
