ABOUT THE SHOW

TRIXTER

New Jersey based band Trixter, founded in 1983 by guitarist Steve Brown, has sold millions of records worldwide and shared the stage with the likes of KISS, JOURNEY, ALICE COOPER, SCORPIONS, POISON, CHEAP TRICK, STYX, BOSTON, NIGHT RANGER, RICK SPRINGFIELD, and TESLA. As not only a master guitarist, but as an accomplished songwriter, singer, engineer, producer and performer Steve has become one of the music industry’s most sought- after and entrusted talents, In 2013, Steve was invited to be the vicarial guitarist for the legendary DEF LEPPARD, which led to him joining the band at the historic Wembley Stadium along with many other Arena and Stadium shows thought North America. Steve also currently performs with Tokyo Motor Fist, Danger Danger, and more.

PJ Farley joined Trixter in 1988 in time to record the band’s self-titled album which brought the band three Billboard hits, “Give it to Me Good,” “Surrender” and “One In A Million.” The band continued to record and tour throughout the next three decades. In addition to writing and recording his own solo projects, Farley went on to have stints with LITA FORD, and currently also performs with RA, Eric Martin (of Mr. Big) and is the bassist in FOZZY.

Ben Hans (KIP WINGER of Winger, ERIC MARTIN of Mr. Big, ANTHONY CORDER of Tora Tora) on Drums rounds out this powerhouse rocking group.

TRIXTER performs all the Trixter favorites as well as music written and recorded by both Steve and PJ on their solo projects. Relive and rock out to all the Trixter hits, enjoy the great new tunes, and catch this energetic, entertaining, and must-see show that leaves their fans begging for more!

PRETTY BOY FLOYD

Not too long ago, when rock was about having a good time, letting your hair down and creating chaos and anarchy, four guys got together in Hollywood and formed a band. NYC guitarist Kristy Majors hooked up with west coast front man Steve Summers and laid the foundation for their dream band. They worked, wrote songs and played and played and played. The band chose the name “Pretty Boy Floyd” because it seemed to describe them – four teen toughs armed with guitar licks and teenage angst who set out to conquer the world.

The group signed to MCA records and released “Leather Boyz with Electric Toyz,” an album whose very name was a tongue-in-cheek tip of the hat to their glamorous heroes – Sweet, Kiss, the NY Dolls – all the bands who believed that rock music wasn’t just music – it was a show, a spectacle, a lifestyle – “a prostitute to be trumped up and tarted around like a band aid or cheap whore” – to borrow a quote from David Bowie. The Howard Benson-produced album made a significant impact, being named one of the hottest albums of its genre by Metal Edge and Spin magazines.

Pretty Boy Floyd landed on the cover of metal bible Kerrang! and their two Top 20 videos “I Wanna Be With You” and “Rock and Roll is Gonna Set the Night on Fire” hit MTV, back when MTV ran videos instead of reality shows. The band toured the world and was recognized as the kings of the Sunset Strip, breaking attendance records held by Van Halen and Warrant. Their album would go on to sell 750,000 copies worldwide.

As the new millennium rolled in, new music fans began to wonder what they had missed. While most Pretty Boy Floyd fans were at an age that you wouldn’t commonly associate with concert goers, a whole new breed of young fans who weren’t even out of school when the band first emerged began to rediscover their music. The original fans and the new fans meshed on their common ground – a love of Pretty Boy Floyd’s music, sleazy shows, and fun times. Never mind what the critics think, or what trends may have come and gone.

Having outlasted many of the critics who cried “they’ll never make it,” Pretty Boy Floyd continues to record and tour the world.
