Addiction’s playing The Whammy Bar Saturday 3/22

Hey all you Hair Band aficionados, Addiction! is playing at The Whammy Bar Saturday March 22 and we’re bringing all kinds of new Metal Mayhem with us!  Nobody likes a fat cover charge, so this is gonna be a NO COVER CHARGE show!  We’re doing 3 full sets, no opening band.  80’s Hair Band Metal ALL NIGHT LONG!  Bring your spandex and hairspray, muhahahahaha! All right, leave the spandex at home! LMAO  A~

Addiction! had a blast at Papa’s!

Big thanks to Matt, Megan and the whole crew at Papa’s for helping us to rock the house! Addiction played a 90 minute set of blistering 80’s rock to a hell of a crowd! Special shout out goes to a great group of friends I first met at work 25+ years ago, who joined us! They’re the hardest partying Walgreens crew (from about 1986) who can still bring it! Woooooohooooooo! Thanks also to Billy Bon Scott and our friend Eddie, for making the whole night happen! Here’s a few pics, I hope to upload more later this week or weekend. Rawk On!  ~A

We’ll see 🙂

Addiction! rocks The Village Bowl

Had a great time at The Village Bowl yesterday for their Harley 110th party! Want to thank The Raid for asking us to be part of the night and Top Jimmy for doing a great Van Halen set! And big thanks to Joe and his sound and light crew for keeping everything rockin’ through a brief but heavy downpour!

Click here for pics from August 10, 2013 at Master Z’s Cue Club

We played to a great crowd last night at Master Z’s Cue Club in Waukesha in support of the Fallen Riders Memorial Fund! They had raffles, a silent auction, tee shirts, bandanas and tons of other stuff and were really fun to work with. Especially you, Leslie! Looking forward to working together again anytime!

A big Thank You to Master Z’s for helping with a great cause and finding a way to host a poker tourney and Milwaukee’s Addiction simultaneously! Seriously, Adam and the whole crew at Z’s found a way to make a lot of shit happen last night! Kudos!

And of course thanks to the Katie Beth Band, Oscar and their whole crew for asking us to be part of this great benefit night! You guys sounded great!
