March 21, 2009, 15 years ago
Organizers of the Z Rock 2009 Festival scheduled for May 29th - 30th at JB's in Dudley, England have announced that BIG NOIZE, one of the first acts confirmed for the event, have cancelled their appearance. A statement will be issued within the next few days. Original DANGER DANGER frontman Ted Poley has been confirmed as the replacement act. He has checked in with the following:
"I am sorry to see that a few of my good friends couldn't make it to the Z Rock 2009 Festival stage as originally planned, but I am really psyched to be returning to the UK with my own killer U.S A. band which features my brothers Vic Rivera, Eddie Campbell, Doug Odell, and new drummer Ed Faust.To play a show with John Waite (one of my IDOLS!), and get to see WIGWAM (one of my favourite new bands!) live and get a taste of all of the other great bands is a personal dream come true and we are very much looking forward to it. Expect to hear a cool set exclusive to this show, which will include a few cool songs from my own musical career outside of D2, and some Poley/Rivera slammers along with some of the usual fun favourites!
I will of course be on hand as usual to try to sell you stuff, sign whatever you bring, take photos, and drink your booze should you be so generously inclined as to offer up a shot of Southern Comfort. Our thanks to Mark and all at Z for adding us!
See ya at the party in May!"
