Following their pummeling sets opening for Guns N’ Roses, the MURDERDOLLS return to level Europe in early 2011! It will be their first full European headline tour in over six years.
The band have just wrapped a three-week US amphitheatre tour, opening for Rob Zombie and Alice Cooper’s pyro-laden ‘Halloween Hootenanny’ tour, picking up plenty of new fans on the way.
Murderdolls also just played their own Halloween headline show in Hollywood, CA at The Roxy.
Joey had this message for everyone in Europe about what’s to come, « Dear Europe. Its Joey from the Murderdolls here. What are you nerds doin? Dipping pommes frites in mayo? I’m in to it. I wanna
let you know to forget what you have seen before with this band. You have a huge treat comin. We have a European vacation comin up to fucking rock your face off. Thank you. This is a darker
nastier heavier and more unpredictable band than ever. These shows are gonna blow your mind. We can’t wait to get over there. Its a total invasion. See you soon, nerds. The king nerd, JJ. P.S. ‘I
need this' »
The band’s first album in eight years, ‘Women And Children Last’ picked up stellar reviews from the European press on its August release, including 4/5 in Q Magazine, and 4/5 in The Sun
(‘..gloriously trashy, sleazy, punk-metal’) and 8/10 in Metal Hammer (“The Murderdolls are back -they’re pissed off and this time they mean every fucking last word of it.”).
