\"oh-tdd-08-10-16-0638\"<\/a>Band to perform three USO shows for troops and military families stationed at Camp Casey, K-16 Air Base and Osan Air Base<\/p>\n

WHAT:<\/strong> The Dead Daisies USO Tour<\/p>\n

WHEN:<\/strong> October 27 – November 2, 2016<\/p>\n

WHERE:<\/strong> South Korea<\/p>\n

WHY:<\/strong> Just back from Japan, after touring the world for three months supporting their 3rd album ‘Make Some Noise’, which smashed charts globally, The Dead Daisies are stepping up to support a USO launched initiative and announce a seven-day USO tour to South Korea. Force Behind the Forces is a brand awareness campaign encouraging Americans to stand in support of service members and military families. The trip, which spans October 27 \u2013 November 2, will include USO shows at Camp Casey (October 30), K-16 Air Base (October 31) and Osan Air Base (November 1).<\/p>\n

Far from strangers to military life, bassist Marco Mendoza grew up the son of an airman and bandmate, John Corabi’s, father served in the U.S. Army. The trip will mark the band’s first-ever USO tour and the first time a group of musicians have encouraged their fans to visit USO.org\/FORCE to learn how to join the USO and become a Force Behind The Forces.<\/p>\n

An old-school band that has taken the rock music world by storm, The Dead Daisies is comprised of Doug Aldrich (Whitesnake, Dio), John Corabi (M\u00f6tley Cr\u00fce, The Scream), Marco Mendoza (Thin Lizzy, Whitesnake), Brian Tichy (Ozzy Osbourne, Foreigner) and David Lowy\u00a0(Red Phoenix, Mink). The band\u2019s third album, \u201cMake Some Noise,\u201c was released in August and is steadily climbing the music charts. After wrapping up a massive summer tour through Europe with KISS, the quintet will soon perform on the KISS Kruise followed by co-headlining a tour with The Answer.<\/p>\n

February 4th marked the USO\u2019s 75th anniversary and the kick off of a year long celebration around the world. The Dead Daisies upcoming USO tour to South Korea is part of that celebration.<\/p>\n
