Hey now time to get a babysitter (or wait, maybe your kids are already away at college) it's time for some long hair twang! Dig this bill, Ted Nugent, Styx, REO Speedwagon!
Each of the bands are from the Midwest, thus the tour name. Each of the bands peaked 35 years ago..thus the sarcasm. Not a big fan of Mr Wango Tango, he went slightly mad with the whole hunting thing. OK OK it's your hobby get on with it freak.
Styx? Didn't they sing "Mr Roboto"?
OK lets here it from the bands (don't laugh- its not polite!)
As you might expect, the artists are very excited about this three-band tour.
“It’s gonna be a Twang Fest of screaming guitars and big, sing-along choruses that continue to be the soundtrack for the misbehavior of our collective fan base,” Styx singer/guitarist Tommy Shaw said. “In other words, a real good time.”
“I’m a Midwest boy, born and raised with Midwest values,” REO Speedwagon singer/guitarist Kevin Cronin said. “In the Midwest we work hard, play hard and rock hard. I am proud to join my brothers in Styx and Ted Nugent to celebrate Midwest rock ’n roll and represent the greatest rock fans in the world. I am ready to climb aboard the ‘Midwest Rock ’n Roll Express!’ Rock on baby!”
And Ted Nugent?
“The heart and soul of American R&B&R&R has always gushed forth from the heartland of America,” Ted Nugent said. “REO, Styx and The Nuge have always celebrated the power of our special music and on the mighty ‘Midwest Rock ’n Roll Express,’ the energy, attitude and spirit is more intense than ever. This is the soundtrack for the hardcore.”
