Y&T Confirmed For Sweden Rock Festival 2010
December 6, 2009, 14 years ago
Y&T; has been confirmed to play the Sweden Rock Festival 2010, set to take place June 9th - 12th in Sölvesborg. BW&BK; has received the following press release:
"San Francisco's Y&T; caused a sensation within the metallic underground when they released Earthshaker in 1981. The album, and its successors Black Tiger (1982), Mean Streak (1983) and In Rock We Trust (1984) are all timeless classics with an equally melodic and aggressive heavy metal-sound and songs from the top drawer and then some. Sadly Y&T; never played in Sweden during this golden age, so the expectations were immense when they finally arrived at SRF in 2003. The performance was a resounding success, which repeated itself on the band's return the following year. And now guitarist/vocalist Dave Meniketti, bassist Phil Kennemore and guitarist John Nymann, accompanied by (relatively) new drummer Mike Vanderhule, will return to the scene of this double triumph - at about the same time as Y&T;'s first new album in 13 years (!) sees the light of day."Acts on the Sweden Rock 2010 bill also include:
