Il Kick Out the Jams: The 50th Anniversary Tour partirà il 5 settembre dalla Florida per poi toccare moltissime città americane: si tratta di una serie di concerti – per ora riservata al solo territorio statunitense – in cui Wayne Kramer degli MC5, assieme a un’illustre backing band formata da Kim Thayil dei Soundgarden, Brendan Canty dei Fugazi, Dug Pinnick dei King’s X e Marcus Durant degli Zen Guerrilla (con Dennis Thompson, già MC5, che apparirà solo in alcune date), porterà sui palchi il celebre album Kick Out the Jams e altro materiale.
Kramer pubblicherà inoltre il prossimo 14 agosto il libro The Hard Stuff: Dope, Crime, the MC5, and My Life of Impossibilities, un testo che «ripercorre la sua infanzia, la scoperta del rock & roll grazie ad artisti come Chuck Berry e gli Yardbirds, e gli esordi degli MC5». Sulle nostre pagine potete recuperare la recensione di Kick Out The Jams, firmata da Marco Braggion. Di seguito, le date del tour americano.
