LITA FORD BACK-PLAYING ROCKLAHOMA!

[Hawkeye]

From our fine friends @ Sludge & Blabbermouth:

LITA FORD is Back: 'It's Been Way Too Long Since I've Rocked A Crowd' - Mar. 21, 2008
'80s hard rock queen Lita Ford has signed a deal with Coallier Entertainment, the New York-based company whose list of clients include such artists as TWISTED SISTER and SEBASTIAN BACH.

In a statement released to BLABBERMOUTH.NET today by Lita Ford regarding her comeback performance in July, she had this to say: "It's been way too long since I've rocked a crowd. Broke out my axe and turned it up loud. Always in my heart — forever in my soul. On July 11th I'm gonna rock 'n' roll. At Rocklahoma I'll hit the stage with thousands of you maniacs. Close My Eyes — Kiss Me Deadly — can't forget the leather pants!"

Rocklahoma festival will be held July 10-13, 2008 at the Catch The Fever Festival Grounds, four miles north of Pryor, Oklahoma. TRIUMPH and EXTREME are among the bands reuniting with all or most of their original lineups for this year's festival, which will also feature sets from NIGHT RANGER, CINDERELLA, Bret Michaels, TESLA, ARMORED SAINT, L.A. GUNS and many more. More than 85 bands in all will perform on three giant stages throughout the four days with several more big names to be added in the coming weeks.

BTW-
The bio on Lita's myspace (if that's even hers) and on the management website was written by our glorious Chrys-without credit.
That, my friends, pisses me off.

In other news, Jackie Fox and VTB have Lita stories and new photos on their myspace pages-go check it out.
