Addiction at The Thirsty Beaver – 5/27/23

Thank you to everyone that joined us at Thirsty Beaver last night! The perfect weather led to a perfect night of 80’s rock & metal! Very special thanks to 98 year old WW2 veteran Charlie, who spoke a few times between songs during our sets and shared just a few of his memories, reminding everyone what Memorial Day is really all about. He would’ve been 19 when the Allies landed at Normandy and began to retake Western Europe from Hitler’s armies. The courage & bravery shown by his generation is one of the brightest points in our history and I was lucky enough to speak with Charlie between our sets too. Thank you for your service, sir! Special thanks also to our host Danny, for letting us invade her otherwise well-behaved establishment, Ryan for running sound & lights, and all of our fans, friends and families that rocked with us! Next up, Milwaukee’s Addiction heads up north to visit the The Hazelhurst Pub on Saturday June 10!

Merry Christmas from Addiction!

We all would like to thank everyone that supported Addiction this year. We had an awesome year that included quite a few shows up North and in Central Wisconsin, a return to Summerfest for our 3rd year, multiple State Fair shows, Harley gigs, Greendale Days, Palace Theater in the Dells and the list goes on and on. Not bad for a band that plays L.A. Guns and Krokus. Our show at Paulie’s last weekend closed out 2022 but we will be back for the attack starting January 7th at AJ’s Bar & Grill with a double bill of Addiction/Thrasher. It has been three long years since we have played together so we cannot wait. Please have a safe and wonderful Christmas season with your family and we will see you in six weeks.
