The Dead Daisies have completed their first USO gig at Camp Casey in South Korea. "It was awesome," exclaims the band. The following report, along with several pictures, appear on the group's official website.

For the debut show for the USO, The Dead Daisies packed together a 75-minute set full of well known rock standards with a good airing of the Make Some Noise record amongst the classics.

Earlier they had made sure everything was in place with some scheduled rehearsals, before taking to the stage later in the evening.

Starting with signature track "Midnight Moses", followed by some originals like "Long Way To Go", it wasn’t long before Free’s "Alright Now" was blasting out the speakers. The audience cheered in appreciation as Marco (Mendoza, bassist) and Doug (Aldrich, guitarist) ventured out into the audience.

Keeping the patriotic theme of the show, Doug played a rock lead guitar version of "The Star Spangled Banner" after Brian's drum solo.

After a show that covered some great American classics like Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Sweet Home Alabama" and Grand Funk Railroad's "American Band", the servicemen and women spent time with the band who signed posters and pictures. A great start to the visit with everyone having a great time.

The USO is the only non-profit organization that is by the side of service members throughout their entire journey of service, from the moment they join, while in recovery and as they transition back to their communities. For nearly 75 years, the USO has been committed to keeping deployed troops connected to home, bringing laughter and a much-needed break to troops and their families around the world as well as providing critical programs and services for our troops in transition, wounded, ill and injured troops and their caregivers, and families of the fallen.
