KISS' Tommy Thayer To Be Inducted Into 2010 Oregon Music Hall Of Fame; To Reunite With BLACK N' BLUE For Induction Ceremony
July 15, 2010, 14 years ago
The Oregon Music Hall Of Fame has announced this year's class of inductees. Among them is BLACK N' BLUE.
"In the late 70’s, a glam metal band appeared in Portland called MOVIE STAR. The band included guitarist Tommy Thayer, vocalist Jamie St. James, drummer Pete Holmes, bassist Patrick Young and guitarist Jeff Warner. That band became Black N' Blue, releasing their 1984 debut album on Geffen with the hit single 'Hold On To 18'. The band recorded three more albums for Geffen, with two produced by GENE SIMMONS of KISS. The band broke up in 1989, reuniting in 1997 and again in 2007. The band is currently reunited without Tommy, who replaced ACE FREHLEY in KISS in 2002."This year’s master of ceremonies will be the ever-colorful Tony Starlight. Two of this year’s event performers were also announced: SHOCK, who were inducted into OMHOF in 2008, and one of this year’s inductees, Black N' Blue. Black N' Blue will reform the classic lineup of Tommy Thayer, Jamie St. James, Pete Holmes, Patrick Young and Jeff Warner.
Tickets go on sale Friday, July 16th through Tickets West outlets, including Fred Meyer and Music Millennium. Tickets are $25 in advance or $30 at the door. VIP tickets, which include reserved seating, after-induction party and poster, are $90 in advance.
