Addiction rocks at The Metal Grill & Mo’s Tosa!

Milwaukee’s Addiction had a great weekend! Friday night at The Metal Grill to help support local firefighter Rudy Betancourt and Saturday night we returned to Mo’s Irish Pub Wauwatosa to administer a full dose of 80’s Rock! The turnout and support for Rudy was truly awe inspiring! Rudy’s wonderful mom Tina personally told me how incredibly thankful they were for the strong showing of support from everyone that made it as well as all the generous donors that made the numerous raffles a big success! A big Thank You also goes to Neil and Theresa for hosting such a meaningful event. We love what they’re doing at The Metal Grill and they deserve all the support we can show them!

Saturday night at Mo’s Irish Pub Wauwatosa we had all kinds of new faces on stage and our “Stump the band” trivia and prizes were fun too! Our drummer Mark is taking a little medical time off and our good friend Wayne graciously agreed to step in on short notice. Like a week. And he nailed it! We didn’t even have time to practice together with him. Ken and I used to jam with Wayne though, so we knew he’d be up for it. And since our singer Tim is still getting over bronchitis, our friend Don stepped in and sang several songs too. Don also used to jam with Ken and I in Tracer Bullet, and Don also fronts the great new Foreigner tribute band Headknocker. It’s always a good time sharing the stage with old friends! Of course several ladies also joined us on stage for Girls, Girls, Girls and made the place shake! It’s always a blast at Mo’s Irish Pub Wauwatosa!

Addiction at Paulie’s Pub 5/14

Milwaukee’s Addiction at Paulie’s Pub and Eatery. Another great night at one of our favorite places! We know there were lots of great choices around town for our friends and fans last Saturday night, so we want to say THANKS to the excellent crowd at Paulie’s for hanging with us all night long! We’d also like to thank TEC – The Entertainment Company for setting up the evening and Matthew for providing a killer sound and light show. We had a few guests join us on stage, Aaron for Rock You Like a Hurricane and our beautiful regulars for Girls, Girls, Girls. We even had a surprise (to us) guest singer join us for Enter Sandman. We’re very lucky to have such enthusiastic fans! The dance floor stayed busy almost constantly, including a few ladies dancing in ways that might be illegal in few states. But not in West Allis! Ha! It was great to see so many of our regular fans, along with some new faces too, and a surprise friend from way back! We’re off for a few weeks, but we’ll see you at The Metal Grill on Friday June 10 for a special benefit show! \m/

Addiction rocks the Rabbit! Jack Rabbit Slims that is!

Hey friends, Milwaukee’s Addiction had a great time at Jack Rabbit Slims Rock / Country Bar & Grill last Saturday night! Wow, with all of the great local bands that were performing, we’re truly thankful that so many of our favorite fans rocked with us! We really couldn’t do it without ya! New songs from Cinderella and Quiet Riot sparked some incredible moves by some incredible ladies on the dance floor. And how about the 2 (somewhat intoxicated?) dudes that were “dancing” with all the lovely ladies? Hope they didn’t step on anyone’s toes, literally or figuratively, lol. Cindee May, Taylor and our friend Andy helped out and sang a few tunes and a bevy of beauties overtook the stage once again for Girls, Girls, Girls. We got lots of pics of our great fans. Finally, Thank You to all of our great fans, friends and families that rock with us! Also, thanks to my brothers in the band. We put in a lot of time into Addiction to keep things fresh, and it’s not always easy, but these guys bring it, every time. Fortunately, Addiction has a 6 day break, so we’re going to go catch some rays down in the Bahamas, but we’ll be back this Saturday in beautiful West Allis Wisconsin at Paulie’s Pub and Eatery. Hope you can join us!

Addiction at Mo’s Irish Pub March 18, 2016

Milwaukee’s Addiction had great time at Mo’s Irish Pub Wauwatosa last night! We opened the night with a song we just added from Tesla called “Comin’ At Ya Live”. With a new Hardline song added in as well, we’re always trying to keep it fresh, while keeping everyone’s favorites in the mix too. Gotta thank all our friends and fans and families that support us too! We couldn’t do it without ya! Special thanks go to Cindee May, Taylor, Eddie & Jamis for doing guest vocals on various tunes and all the beautiful ladies that completely overtook the stage for “Girls, Girls, Girls”. Nobody even spilled any drinks or stepped on any stage pedals, nice job ladies! And one more thank you goes to our favorite photographer Donna for all the great camera work she does! Rock on! \m/

Addiction packs Paulie’s Pub for another night of Hair Band Mayhem!

Milwaukee’s Addiction played to a packed Paulie’s Pub and Eatery last night! We saw tons of friends there and we REALLY appreciate all your support! Paulie’s was just bustling from load-in till load-out and the crowd was just unstoppable! The band enjoyed some of Paulie’s excellent pizza after soundcheck and schmoozed with the super crowd before kicking off set #1 with Judas Priest favorites The Hellion & Electric Eye. Yea, THAT will wake you up! All the ladies deserve a big shout out for dancing like crazy all night long! Special mention also goes out to Cherie for singing our Scorpions favorites, and Tiffany and Cindee for helping out on Girls, Girls, Girls. We’ve got a few weeks off, but we’ll be back Friday, March 18 at Mo’s Irish Pub Wauwatosa to rock yer socks off! \m/

Finn’s finds frozen fans flocking to Addiction!

Milwaukee’s Addiction had another great show at Finn McGuire’s Irish Pub & Grill last night! Proving that sub-zero temps can’t deter our fans, we Rocked and we Rolled and you Danced and you Strolled. Down memory lane that is, with a serious 80’s Hair Band history lesson. ‘Twas Valentine’s Eve and Love was in the air, or was it the fog machine? Eh, either way, we had a blast, and by all accounts, the crowd had a damn good time too. Ain’t that how it’s supposed to work?

We’d like to thank special guest Eddie Martinez, singer from Category X and Motley Brue, for singing “Wild Side” with us and just killing it! A big “Thank You” also goes to Finn’s, TEC – The Entertainment Company, Tiffany, Cindee May & Taylor for singing on stage at random moments, all the lovely ladies that kept the dance floor boppin’, and all of our fans, friends and families that rock with us!
