Some of the same people behind Tragedy, the “All Metal Tribute to The Bee Gees” (not the crust legends — a thing that’s been confusing BV readers for at least 15 years) , have formed TRüKKEN, a “Supercharged, Rip Roarin’, Hard Rockin’, Heavy Metal Tribute to the Grateful Dead!”
With résumés that also include such fun times as Satanicide, Hair Supply, and Lez Zeppelin, among others, this new project is sure to also be a blast.
TRüKKEN’s first show will be at Brooklyn Bowl on June 20 for an Rocks Off-presented event they’re calling “The Brown Acid Test” that also features Schism: A Tribute to Tool and “a special guest.”
Here’s more on the members of TRüKKEN via the band:
- Philthy Garcia (guitar and vox) aka Phil Costello of Satanicide, Hair Supply, Tragedy, The Rodney Speed Experience
- Ill Flesh ( bass) who was also in Ghost and Lez Zeppelin
- Robbie “Weird” Seahag (guitar and vox) who is in Banned From Utopia, the Rickie Lee Jones band and lots of other sideman to the stars situations
