"Guys, it's a weird feeling: We're back home now, nursing our jetlags and wishing we could be back on the road already," says The Dead Daisies. "Well, all of us except for Marco (Mendoza, bassist) - he just refuses to take a break. But what better time to look back on the last week of our insanely amazing trip to Europe than now?

From Wiesbaden, where we played one of the biggest shows of this tour, and Cologne, where our set was live-streamed to the entire world, we left Germany for Paris, France and Pratteln, Switzerland, before heading to Trezzo near Milan in Italy to finish up our current stint. The crowds seemed to grow bigger and wilder the longer the tour went on... truly a sight to see! Europe, you were GREAT! We can't wait to be back in July, but first, we must re-charge our batteries (right, Marco?) and head to Japan at the end of June. Until then, enjoy this recap video of week #5 of our Burn It Down world tour."

The Dead Daisies are returning to North America! After a sold-out tour across the UK & Europe, the band are looking forward to rocking out with their US and Canadian fans.

The current single "Rise Up" is climbing the US-Active Rock Charts and being used extensively in NASCAR promotional campaigns across the country. The guys are also happy to announce that an old friend of the Daisies, Dizzy Reed, is bringing his band Hookers & Blow along as the tour’s special guest.

The album Burn It Down has entered the charts around the world. Led by a #6 in the US Billboard Heatseekers Chart, a #10 in the prestigious German Media Control Charts, #12 in the US Hard Music Charts, #14 in the UK Sales Charts, #15 in both Switzerland and Austria as well as numerous other chart entries around the world, the album very much delivered on the promise of “Burning down everything in its path”.

At radio, the single “Rise Up” has been added to massive playlists worldwide. The track is climbing the US-airplay charts, is on huge stations in Germany, Italy, France, Sweden and Spain as well as UK’s Planet Rock Radio adding both the single and the teaser track “Resurrected” to their A-Playlist.

The band will return to Japan late June to play three packed headline shows in Tokyo, Osaka and Nagoya before heading to Europe in July where they’ll play a series of Festivals along with dates with the Scorpions and Guns N' Roses.

Hookers & Blow, a now legendary project formed by longtime Guns N' Roses keyboardist Dizzy Reed and Quiet Riot guitarist Alex Grossi is celebrating its 15-year anniversary this year. Along with Reed and Grossi, the summer line up of Hookers & Blow that will tour as special guests of The Dead Daisies will include Robbie Crane of the Black Star Riders on bass and Mike Dupke (ex-W.A.S.P., John Mellencamp) on drums.

Most recently, Dizzy Reed released his very first solo record Rock & Roll Ain't Easy, featuring members of Guns N' Roses, No Doubt, Quiet Riot, Wasp, The Psychedelic Furs, Thin Lizzy and many more.
