BraveWords.com has received the following update from JETBOY:

"Parting ways with a family member is never easy, and believe us it was a bitter pill to swallow. When Mickey (Finn, vocals) made his plans known that he would not be participating in the European tour, or the future of Jetboy, the rest of the band were forced into action.

As a group, Jetboy did not want to let fans down and back out of their first European tour, that being said, we immediately began the

search."

“We’re all still friends, and we wish Mickey nothing but the best going forward. We are incredibly happy to have someone as professional as D.K. Revelle to step in on a months notice and front the European tour,” said founding member Billy Rowe.

"D.K. Revelle has a long pedigree, having worked coast to coast honing his craft. Most recently, D.K. fronted the band BEGGAR'S BALLl in Hollywood, California (2005 - 2008) recording two albums.

D.K. was also the vocalist in the New York based act FEELS LIKE FICTION, under the management of the famous Bill Aucoin

(KISS, BILLY IDOL).

D.K. Revelle is the consummate front man, bringing not only professionalism and talent to the table, but a filthy-dirty rock and roll style that Jetboy fans have come to expect from the band."

“From the moment we began to jam, the chemistry was undeniable,” says founding guitarist Fernie Rod. "When something works, its effortless and it just makes sense. We’re excited to bring Jetboy to our European fans for the first time in the band’s history, and to tell you the truth, you are getting us at what feels like the best moment in Jetboy’s storied career. This band is primed and ready to bring rock and roll from the gutters of California to the other side of the pond. Get ready Europe, we’re gonna rock your ass off!"
