ZZ Top On Summer Tour
Texas blues-rock trio ZZ Top is about to start a 24-week North American tour that will keep the band on the road for the rest of 2005.
The band's 24-week outing kicks off on the West Coast next week, and dates are stacked up into early October; details are shown below.
Additional October and November dates will be announced, according to the group's official website.
Fans can expect to hear the band perform material from its latest album, 2003's Mescalero, as well as cuts from its lengthy back-catalog, which is chronicled on last year's two-disc hits collection, Rancho Texicano.
This sturdy American blues-rock trio from Texas consists of Billy Gibbons (guitar), Dusty Hill (bass), and Frank Beard (drums). They were formed in 1970 in and around Houston from rival bands the Moving Sidewalks (Gibbons) and the American Blues (Hill and Beard). Their first two albums reflected the strong blues roots and Texas humor of the band. Their third album (Tres Hombres) gained them national attention with the hit La Grange, a signature riff tune to this day, based on John Lee Hooker's Boogie Chillen. Their success continued unabated throughout the '70s, culminating with the year-and-a-half-long Worldwide Texas Tour. Exhausted from the overwhelming work load, they took a three-year break, then switched labels and returned to form with Deguello and El Loco, both harbingers of what was to come. By their next album, Eliminator, and its worldwide smash follow-up, Afterburner, they had successfully harnessed the potential of synthesizers to their patented grungy blues-groove, giving their material a more contemporary edge while retaining their patented Texas style.
