The new Pop Evil website has been launched with plenty of cool new PE eye candy and gear for you guys. Make sure that you get on there and check it out. It's got a whole new layout to it. Keep up with the myspace as well. Check em out at www.popevil.com and www.myspace.com/popevil. A ton of new dates have been posted check em out at my page. www.myspace.com/tonygreveofpopevil. We just got done with our run of dates with Buckcherry and Royal Bliss wich was awesome. I've gotta give love to our boys in Royal Bliss. Those guys are fun as hell. Next time you guys see Matt ask him to see the ass smack photo from Neil. It'll be well worth it lol Coming up we've got some dates with our friends in Saving Abel and then we go out with the one and only, legendary, Judas Priest. That tour will be us, Whitesnake and Judas Priest. We'll be on that tour for about 2 months this summer. It's gonna be rockin! Make sure you guys check out my website and start learning guitar at www.tonygreve.com. You'll notice that there hasn't been any updates, changes, or new lessons posted on the site and the reason for that is as some of you know I have a surgery coming up. I've pretty much been in constant pain and it takes up a lot of my focus. In June I go in for this surgery and after that I'll be getting back on the guitar lessons. That's what it's about, playing, learning, and teaching. And it's a cycle that doesn't end. Keep playing those guitars out there. The Video for a "100 in a 55" is done!!! It'll be released in June so keep a look out for it. The video is amazing and lets not forget that it stars Sara Jean Underwood, the 2007 playmate of the year. I'd like to give you guys some insight on it but I don't want to give it away. You'll just have to wait and see it for yourself: ) And I gotta thank Dean for hookin me up with a bad ass new guitar for the video wich I've been using live. Its the stealth in chrome with a solid mirror front. It's off the hook. Last night we got to play with and party with some true legens. Collective Soul. The show was in an amusement park of all places!!!! Nothin like rockin a show and then riding some rollercoasters. That's one place I'd love to play again. Kings Island. I gotta give love to our driver Danny Love who left the road yesterday. Thanks for making the road good to us and being so damn cool. It's been a great time out here with you. Some cool info too is the bus that we are currently in is Bob Dylans old bus. I was flippin out when I found that out. It doesn't get cooler than that. So that's the current news and upddate as to what's going on with us. Rock the fuck on! Tony Greve Pop Evil

What's up Evil heads!? What's going on out there in the world? First thing is first, we just added a few more show dates onto the tour. The new dates that are added are in Chicago, Sioux Falls, South Dakota, MInnesota, or you can catch us in Michigan in Flint, Traverse City, and Batle Creek. Check out the dates at www.myspace.com/tonygreveofpopevil or www.myspace.com/popevil. Check it out and make it out to the show. We want to meet al of you guys. We just did a few outdoor festival dates and let me tell you, there are nothing like those. Those make for a long ass day. Loading in at 9 am to the heat getting to you, and all the beer, fuck out I was out by 4 PM! The shows were amazing though. One of the bands I was pumped to see was Hed PE and they were off the hook. A lot of good bands. Candle Box, another great group of guys. The road life is interesting though. The shows, the booze, girls, the fans, the craziness. Is it exactly what you would think it is? Absolutely. It's the ultimate, never ending party. Come to the party sometime. That's one thing about a Pop Evil show, your not just going to a concert your going to a party. Pretty soon I'll have a Tony Greve tour journal up which you'll be able to check out on my myspace page or at www.tonygreve.com. That way you guys can get a little more insight as to how I live my life. I'll keep you posted on that. More cool PE shit in the works, next month we begin shooting a video for "100 in a 55." I won't give away any details, but had to give you guys the heads up on it! It will be out soon! I'll also be playing a custom guitar in this video thanks to Dean guitars! It's gonna be solid chrome with a little personal touch to it. Make sure you check out www.deanguitars.com. That's where it's at! Not only to they have the best guitars but the people at Dean are great and super nice and cool people. We got to spend some time with them in Tampa drinking beer and eating belt busting nacho's at The Wing House as well as the Dean factory. But go to www.deanguitars.com and check that shit out! I got to me a living legend from my number 1 favorite rock band of all time and that is Duff Mckagan from Guns N Roses. He was a super cool dude. I was like a kid in a candy store. I had people waiting for my autograph while I was standing there waiting for his. We played some shows with his band Loaded. They are rock meets punk. It's great shit. Plus they did a few GNR covers including "So Fine", "Its So Easy", and "Dust and Bones". It just doesn't get better then that. In May Universal Republic will be re-releasing "Lipstick on the Mirror". The songs have been re-cut, re-worked, and re-mastered. And it sounds amazing. The album sounds the way it should have sounded the first time it was recorded all the way through. That's going to be out mid may. There are a few other new suprises on it too. Pick up the album and get your Pop Evil on! Guitar players, keep playing and keep learning. Play from the heart and play to inspire. Don't forget why you picked up playing to begin with. Someone inspired you. Give that back to others. Spread the fuckin word! Tony Greve Pop Evil

We have been on tour for a solid year now, and it was one hell of a year for Pop Evil.  We've met some amazing bands, some great people.  We've made new friends and fans, and we did what has always been an untouchable dream to me, we signed with Universal Republic.  Thank you to all of our fans who believe in us and stuck with us along the way and who will continue to stick with us on this journey.  You guys have made it all possible.  So make sure you stay tuned in to what's going on with the band.  Also, keep checking in at www.myspace.com/popevil and www.popevil.com.  There will be some new things coming to the sites.
I've just added a few more show dates to my tour schedule, so make sure that you check them out.  Some pretty sweet shows coming up with Seether, Buckcherry, 311.. shows that our PE fans won't want to miss out on, I can tell you that right now.

So www.Tonygreve.com is up and running.  I put this website together for those of you who are already guitar players and for those of you that aspire to play.  I am, always have been, and always will be a guitar instructor.  It's a part of who I am.  Before  we started touring I was able to teach and then once we hit the road there was no way to make that work, so I thought what better to do than to start a website where people can take on-line lessons from me, and it'll give my past students a place to come back to.  It's hard on the road, but I'm going to try to have a new lessons posted once every week.  As much as I can get a new one up I will.  My teachings include everything from teaching the beginner that's never picked up a guitar before to my brothers that love to shred.  So check out Tonygreve.com and get your guitar on!
So we've had 8 shows in a row, and let me tell ya it doesn't seem like munch, but I'm beat.  It's whooped my ass lol.  We have today and tomorrow off though we we'll be able to rest of up again before we get back at it.  I think we have like 13 straight on again.  The shows have been amazing, and you fans have made the shows everything that I dreamt the shows would be.  Without you it's nothing.  The road has been good though, tiring and fun, drunk yet sober, we've even found a way to play twister on the bus.... don't ask. lol  But make sure you all come and find us at a show and say hi.
As good as it's been I have my on days and off days with how I've been feeling.  I won't go into detail on it, but those of you who know me, know exactly what I'm talking about.  And all that pain alone will take a toll on you.  Push on to the end my friends, push on and push on.  We struggle, yes we all struggle, but somehow, we're all still here: ) We're here today, and that's a good fuckin day.
Keep checking the tour dates on my page, I'll probably be posting a bunch of new ones tomorrow!  A ton of new dates for sure.  I think Rock on the Range may be my favorite.  When your playing a festival with Motley Crue and Alice in Chains..... yea.. enough said.  I'm stoked.  Check out the line up for that.  It doesn't get much better.
So I've switched over to Krank amps... they got me!!! AHHHHHHH, but ya know what.  It's amazing.  I'll be honest with you.  I had the chance to try Kranks live a few times.. absolutely hated them.... well aparantly there were something wrong with those because I plugged in the Krankenstein and it blew my fucking socks off.  It's got such an amazing Tony.  It's the Heaviest yet cleanest sounding amp I've ever hear.  and I"ll tell ya it's got tone for days!!!!  If you get a chance to check them out, I suggest you check them out.
Pop Evil fans... thank you sooooo damn much for making "100 in a 55" number 16 on the charts.  It's because of you guys we're gaining ground.  Keep fuckin rockin and keep your spirits up and we're gonna do this thing together.  Thank you guys.  It's just an amazing feeling, it's something unforgettable and yet something I can't believe that I'm experiencing.  Thank you all for this.
Much love to you guys.
Pop Evil for life.  Live it up!
Tony

Happy Super Bowl Sunday!!!
It's been a while since I've had a chance to post a bulletin and fill you guys in on what's been going on with the band.  We had the day off today so I thought "I need to sit down and write these people!": )  All in all I hope that you guys are all doing great.
This tour that we've been on with Saliva has been great.  They are a great band and some fun ass guys to party with, there is no doubt about that.  Wether it's been pounding shots at the bar with Jon, partying at Pauls house, or just some late night drunken bowling, it's been a riot.  The crowds have been outstanding on this tour so thanks to all you fans that have been making this happen and making all of the shows memorable.  Couldn't happen without you and that's something that we will never, ever, forget.  But the tour is far from over.  Make sure you check out the tour dates up on my myspace page so that you can get out see us with Saliva while you can!
Plus I'm always updating shows and unfortunately a few of the shows on the tour have been cancelled, so make sure that you keep up with them.  Thank you all.
So we've gone from an RV to a Prevost bus for this tour.  I've never been so excited to have my own bunk!  If you were on the RV and seen all of us sleeping togeher, ha, I think you'd understand.  So we're out with that for this tour and our bus driver "G" has been making it all happen.  Wasn't for him, we'd have a hard time getting to the shows lol
Ya know, you fans on this tour have been amazing.  I know I keep bringing it up but you guys have gone to extents of making your own shirts, to making us dog tags (Robert), or bringing us flowers.  We truly do have the best fans.  That is an undeniable truth.
I was thinking the otherday and I got hit hard with an undeniable truth.  A good friend of mine has cancer and that was a big wake up call to me.  It's easy for us all to get caught up in our own lives and what we're doing.  But what's really important?  What's important are those people that matter the most in our lives and make sure you take the time out to tell them that.  That's what matters the most.
You guys are awesome. 
Shoot me a message, and keep in touch!

So, I just got to my desdination, thank God, cause I got rear ended while going down the highway at about 80 mph.  It basically felt like someone just belted me in the back of the head with a 2 x 4.  It could have been worse I guess though.
Make sure you guys continue to call your radio stations and request our latest single "100 in a 55".  Because thanks to you guys the song has been continueing to climb up the charts.  You guys rock! 
So we kick off our tour with Saliva later this week.  Check out the tour dates on my myspace page and hit up the shows you can make.  It's lookin to be a hot tour and I hope to see all of your beautiful faces there.
I've got thank Madison, Wisconsin the the sold out show at SCATZ the other night.  That show was amazing.  I was personally estimating that there would be a few hundred there, but you guys sold the place out.  Thanks for the amazing night and the Pop Evil tats.  Can't wait to do with you guys again.
So Leigh and I have been in the studio lately working on some tracks and possibly re-vamping a few of the songs off the "Lipstick on the Mirror" album.  So keep your eyes and ears open cause there may be some new PE music coming at you real soon.
Thank you guys for everything and I hope you all have a kick ass week!
