This will reunite the guys with their old tour buddies L.A. Guns for the first time since Texas 2009. These shows will be the first in the UK for the newly reunited Lee and Iggie.

Lee said: “We are over the frikkin' stoked to be invited to join this tour as we have toured, played and partied with our old buddies several times, and it will be a great way to kick off our own UK tour which starts on June 24th at the Hog And Hospur music venue in Wales, get prepared for the usual Pistolero carnage.”

Their last gig as a band was on the main stage of England’s legendary Bulldog Bash biker festival in August 2010, Rocklahoma will be the first reunited gig.

Lee and Iggie Pistolero commented, "Some may see this reunion as the coming of the Anti Christ? But it will be far worse! Viva la Revolution, there's a whirlwind coming..."

The group will release a new double Greatest Hits'album later this year, entitled The Greatest Flamenco Sleaze Glam Rock 'N Roll Band Ever. It will be recorded at Nomad 51 Studios, Birmingham and produced by Mark Westwood
