My last Hollywood gig was with Fair Game in 1992...that's about to change.
I am excited to be back in Hollywood this Saturday night, November 11, when I return there for the first time in almost 15 years to participate in an
incredible night of Rock N Roll.
I will bring the solo acoustic "Alone At Last" show with me as I open up for EXILE SOCIAL CLUB, a new all star LA Supergroup consisting of Chuck
Wright, Pat Torpey, Jason Hook, and David Victor - all current or former members of Quiet Riot, Mr. Big, the Vince Neil band, Alice Cooper, Montrose,
and many others.
The evening will be hosted by ex-Skid Row drummer-turned-stand up comic Phil Varone, and feature many special guests from the rock and metal circle,
concluding with an all-star jam.

Wow!That's great news. I wish I could be at that show like old times. Out of ALL the bands I saw in clubs back in the day on the strip, I saw your
band twice as many times as the next.
I am looking forward to seeing you at Saturday nights Mystic show with Y&T.
Have a good one.
P.S.
What kind of merch will you have at the shows?
Thanks
Rudy.

ROAD REPORT - HOLLYWOOD SHOW NOVEMBER 11
What an awesome night.
Not QUITE like 'back in the day' (there was no drinking allowed backstage!), but there were hints & traces of the old Hollywood vibe. Lots of old
friends, like I expected. Starting with the guys in the EXILE SOCIAL CLUB band - Chuck Wright & I have been buds for years, through his time with
Quiet Riot and House Of Lords...and ex-Mr. Big drummer Pat Torpey, who used to set up microphones for KEEL rehearsals when he worked at a local
rehearsal studio. Ran into Carlos Cavazo, my good friend John Kornarens, all the folks from KNAC.
Enjyed hanging with our emcee, ex Skid-Row drummer Phil Varone, who is doing stand-up comeday now - he invited me to be a musical guest for some shows
at the Improv and to do a stint on his upcoming comedy tour "Sex, Stand-up, and Rock & Roll".
As for the gig: I felt really good about my performance - quite possibly my best solo acoustic show to date. Voice felt strong, and I didn't screw up
any guitar parts, I felt comfortable and confident, and the response was great, so I guess everything was cool.
EXILE SOCIAL CLUB was excellent - I must thank guitarist Jason Hook for the PEG, and their young singer David Victor is a very nice guy and a strong
singer and frontman. They played a good selection of cover tunes, and were joined at various times by several celebrities. I especially enjoyed when
Cherie Currie (The Runaways) sang "Cherry Bomb", it was a teenage dream come true - and she looked extremely hot and moved and sang great...Frankie
Banali also took a turn on the drums during their set.
I enjoyed the climactic all-star jam at the end of the night: myself, Robin McCauley (MSG), David Glen Eisley (House Of Lords), and Dokken guitarist
Jon Levin got on stage and we all closed the show with a long raucous version of "Whole Lotta Rosie" with Chuck, Pat, Jason, and David.
Thanks to Ron Mesh, manager of the Vine Street lounge, for the special treatment and for having me on the bill, and special thanks to Chuck Wright for
being the ringmaster of this Rock N Roll circus, it was a special night for me and long overdue. I hope someone got pictures.

Once again, it's great to hear about the awesome opportunities that keep coming your way and sounds like it would have been great to have been there.
I would have loved to see Chuck Wright play since I'm a fan of alot of his work, like with Quiet Riot, House Of Lords and Impellitteri
