'80s hard rock queen Lita Ford will play at least a couple of warm-up shows for her upcoming Rocklahoma appearance. Ford is apparently being billed as the LITA FORD "tribute" act KISS ME DEADLY for these special performances, which will kick off in early July. So far the following dates have been announced:
July 06 - Famingdale, NY @ Club Loaded at The Crazy Donkey July 07 - New York, NY @ B.B. King Blues Club & Grill
Lita Ford recently signed a deal with Coallier Entertainment, the New York-based company whose list of clients includes such artists as TWISTED SISTER and SEBASTIAN BACH.
In a statement released in late March by Lita Ford stated regarding her comeback performance at Rocklahoma: "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 9-13, 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 five days.

I may be incorrect but I think it's actually Farmingdale, NY on Long Island. Maybe JFo could weigh in and clarify? I would love to go to this. I have a good friend who lives in Suffolk County, maybe I'll plan a visit. ;D

Funny, Lita is managed by WASP'S mgt company, and has a WASPER on drums-I also heard rumors here in Hollywood that her ex may rejoin WASP.
Totally off topic, but A big shout out to the beautiful Betsy Bitch who has a new cd out soon, I met her a few months back at a hardly Dangerous gig-I am really looking forward to it!
