Ted Poley and Andy Timmons Touring Together for the first time in over 15 years!
Original Danger Danger lead singer Ted Poley and original guitarist Andy Timmons have teamed up for a set of very special shows in SOUTH AMERICA!
The shows are being planned for November in BRAZIL and possibly some other countries in South America.
Promoters are currently confirming the exact dates of 2 shows, in Rio DeJaniero and Sao Paulo Brazil, and are adding more cities, to be announced as each one is confirmed.
Show dates and locations will be posted on both Ted and Andys Myspace pages and websites as they are confirmed.
TED POLEY ON HOW THE TOUR CAME ABOUT:
The last time I was doing a solo tour in Brazil, a longtime D2 fan approached me on the streets of Sao Paulo, and he told me that he had been to an Andy Timmons guitar clinic and had a chance to speak with Andy, so he asked Andy- "Why dont you ever tour with Ted?" and Andys very cool answer was "because he never asked me to".
"Good point" i thought, but i also figured that even if it was a true story, Andys reply was probably a brilliant and very polite way for Andy to dismiss the idea without disappointing a fan, which i know he would never do.
The idea seemed almost impossible, but i couldnt resist even the smallest chance to make a dream come true, so I contacted Andy and asked him if he would like to play together in Brazil and he said YES! I couldnt be more excited,this is going to be FUN!
ANDY TIMMONS ON BEING ASKED TO DO PLAY WITH TED AGAIN:
"Hey Andy, want to play some concerts in South America with your band and then do a set of Danger Danger tunes with Ted?" Um, let me think about it (two seconds pass...) Sure...let's do it!
I'm really looking forward to playing in Brazil for all the crazy fans who really appreciate guitar and love Danger Danger. Ted and I haven't played together in 15 years so this should be a blast. Ted has a rare gift: a completely unique and original voice and I'm looking forward to hearing his magic again."
TED POLEY ON PLAYING WITH ANDY AGAIN:
" I am very excited to be playing with Andy again for this special tour, and especially to see his own band in action. Just to watch him play up close is such a privilege,its like watching a Miracle in progress! And when we combine forces onstage to play the classics i am going to have the best seat in the house..i have been dreaming about this reunion for over 15 years."
BRUNO RAVEL AND STEVE WESTS THOUGHTS ABOUT THE TOUR-
"We would love to come to Brazil someday soon as DANGER DANGER, but we are busy locked up in the studio completing the new D2 cd!
We wish Ted and Andy the best on the tour and are happy that they are out there keeping the Danger Danger music alive and STILL KICKIN! We are both looking forward to getting out there again as Danger Danger and playing live together with Rob Marcello(current D2 guitarist) and Ted at Firefest!"
