Revered vocal powerhouse Sebastian Bach will celebrate the 30th anniversary of SKID ROW‘s acclaimed, self-titled breakout debut album with a U.S. tour where he will perform the record in its entirety plus other songs from his celebrated catalog. The tour will kick off in Nashville, Tennessee on August 30 and will end in Pinellas Park, Florida on November 2. Tickets and VIP meet-and-greet upgrades go on sale Friday, June 7 at SebastianBach.com.
Bach says in a statement: “In 1989, we put out the first record ‘Skid Row’. 30 years later, people still dig the music we created in a garage all those years ago. In commemoration of this 30th-anniversary digital deluxe release, my band is going to perform the first SKID ROW record, in its entirety, on the road, LIVE this fall! It’s going to be fun to do something that has never been done live before! We are looking forward to seeing you all for this one time event! Note: This concert is 100% live in every way! All real! All the time! No tapes! No fakes! Come and see a real rock band while they still exist! We give it to you straight from the heart ‘cuz that’s the only way we know how! See you on the road!”
Released in the winter of 1989, SKID ROW‘s self-titled record is one of heavy rock’s most successful debut albums, landing in Billboard‘s Top 10 and going on to sell millions of copies around the world. The record transformed the band from local New Jersey quintet into a global phenomenon whose rebellious attitude and jaw-dropping talent set the bar and tone for rock music in the late ’80s and early ’90s. SKID ROW‘s singles “18 And Life”, “Youth Gone Wild” and “I Remember You” are among the decade’s most recognizable rock anthems that still receive heavy airplay on radio stations across the country. The group again achieved commercial success with its second record, “Slave To The Grind” (1991) certified multi-platinum, reaching No. 1 on the Billboard 200.
