Original TORA TORA Lineup To Reunite At Rocklahoma
February 23, 2008, 16 years ago
Memphis, Tennesse-based hard rockers TORA TORA have confirmed that they will reunite at this year's Rocklahoma festival, the annual festival of '80's rock groups which takes place at the Catch The Fever Festival Grounds, four miles north of Pryor, Oklahoma from July 11th - 13th.
The band has issued the following update regarding its appearance at the festival:
"Tora Tora at Rocklahoma IS all ORIGINAL members!!!Before the rumor mill gets stirring, I wanted to go ahead and clear this up. On some other message boards, it has been speculated that the Tora Tora reunion is only Anthony and Patrick. That is NOT true.
The Tora Tora reunion for Rocklahoma 2008 is ALL FOUR ORIGINAL MEMBERS!!!
Anthony Corder (vocals), Keith Douglas (guitar), Patrick Francis (bass), and John Patterson (drums).
Apparently, a radio station mistakenly was referring to Anthony/Patrick's former local band, HOMEMADE FLAVOR, and some people took it the wrong way and started posting misinformation. So I just wanted to set the record straight.
Again, it IS all four ORIGINAL members playing Rocklahoma 2008!!"
POISON's BRET MICHAELS will headline opening night of Rocklahoma 2008. Other acts on the bill include: KROKUS, L.A. GUNS and VIXEN, HOUSE OF LORDS, WARRANT (featuring original lead singer Jani Lane) and VAIN.
