Melodic Rockers, Tyketto, creators of the ultimate rock anthem of a generation, Forever Young, have always believed that bands and fans are stronger together. Indeed, their 1994 sophomore album, Strength In Numbers, and the unwavering loyalty of their fans, has kept the Tyketto flame burning in everyone’s hearts right up to the present day.

Now, as Strength In Numbers, the album, and the mantra, reaches its 30^th year, Tyketto show no signs of slowing down, and have announced an extensive tour of the UK, with long-time friends, Little Caesar

“Announcing a tour is always a very exciting time for a band,” says Tyketto’s Danny Vaughn. “but when you’re able to make it happen with one of your most favourite ever bands, well that’s something very special indeed.”

Little Caesar’s Ron Young agrees. “Little Caesar is so excited to be back in the UK for the first time since the pandemic. And to get to get to do that in such great venues with our good mates in Tyketto makes the wait all the more worthwhile. We’ll see you there!”

Danny Vaughn continues, “Like Tyketto, Little Caesar is a band that exists solely because of the intensity, love, and dedication of the fans.  So, 2 bands sharing one stage, each playing straight up rock n roll, and leaving it all on the stage. I tell you, it’s a complete SHOW OF STRENGTH, and I could not be happier at the thought of seeing a horde of you out there every single night.”

Tyketto
Don’t Come Easy? For melodic rock heroes Tyketto, it never did.

The more things change, the more things stay the same. Danny Vaughn, enduring frontman of US survivors Tyketto, is more than familiar with a mantra ready made for a band that’s battled harder than most to keep the melodic rock flag flying.

More than 30 years after sparkling debut Don’t Come Easy emerged as an underground classic, that prophetic and compelling title continues to ring true. Where the unrelenting advance of grunge once stood between Tyketto and mainstream success, a global pandemic, plunging pound and war in Europe have all emerged as fresh barriers to the band’s latter-day progress.

Things still Don’t Come Easy to Danny Vaughn. Then again, they never did.

But where Tyketto’s concerned there’s a positive slant to the famous phrase coined by the French writer Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr. ‘Plus ça change, plus c’est le même chose’ has a far deeper resonance with Vaughn in the wake of two key departures from a band rebooted and refocused ahead of its biggest year yet.

Little Caesar
People were scratching their heads when Little Caesar first crashed onto the Los Angeles rock scene of the 1980’s. With it’s soulful, blues-rock sound, greasy, + no frills image. The group was a far cry from the pretty boy pop metal bands of the Sunset Strip. The band’s original line-up, Ron Young (vocals), Loren Molinare (Guitar), Apache, (Guitar), Fidel Paniagua (Bass) and Tom Morris (Drums). The band was managed by Jimmy Iovine and signed to Geffen Records with Bob Rock (Metallica, Motley Crue), producing it’s eponymous debut album.

Little Caesar’s 1990 release was a solid collection of R&B-influenced hard rock in the vein of 70’s giants like Free, Humble Pie and The Faces. The album garnered worldwide acceptance and positive feedback from the rock press. The record included a ballsy remake of Aretha’ Franklin’s classic “Chain of Fools” which broke the Billboard Top 100 and received major airplay both on rock radio and MTV. During this time Little Caesar toured extensively, opening for such legendary acts as Iggy Pop, Kiss, Lynyrd Skynyrd and Social Distortion.

Little Caesar is excited to announce they will be supporting their friends “Tyketto” for a tour of the UK. It will encompass 9 shows in various cities and the band looks forward to the raucous sonic frivolities that always ensue with our friends and family in the UK.
