"T H I S S A T U R D A Y N I G H T !!!!!!
FALLOUT: The Police Experience

The most authentic, live, musical tribute to one of the greatest bandsofthe 1980s, THE POLICE.50 million records sold worldwide!

Here's what some other people have said about FALLOUT....

"...every nuance, all the drum parts, and the singer has Sting down to a tee..."- Stewart Copeland

"...the best copy band I have seen to date - close your eyes and it's myboys..."- Miles Copeland

"...close your eyes, and you're listening to The Police at the peak oftheircareer, open your eyes, and you won't believe it's not ThePolice...completely captures, not just the music of The Police, buttheirvery essence...absolutely amazing"- Ian Copeland

SO WHEN ARE YOU COMING TO SEE US NEXT?!?!?!? Well here's your chance...

THIS SATURDAY NIGHT we'll be playing with BONFIRE the great tribute to ACDC, and, what willbethe hottest band to come, THE DARES. This is the band that brought IanCopeland out of retirement to represent them.This trio of 14 YEAR OLDS, is an amazing thing to see. Also, it'sStewartCopeland's birthday that night and you never know..., one year he playedwith us!!! Don't miss it!!

One MORE thing, see my recent v/o work on Zatch Bell (Cartoon Network)onJuly 16 @ 9:30 p.m. Pacific..."Dark Lord of The Cursed Castle". Thecharacter I do is called "Steng".

I'm just waiting for YOU to perform somewhere. Preferably in the midwest, where there IS a snowball's chance I could get a ticket or two....
