Tomcat in Red, White and Crue
Motley Crue has a reputation for fast and furious rock ‘n roll. So it should come as no surprise that preparation for the band’s reunion tour came on just as strong.
After working on several projects with Ed & Ted’s Excellent Lighting, including the wildly successful 2004 Prince tour, Tomcat USA was the company they turned to when they found themselves in a crunch. Along with standard MD bolted truss, Tomcat also manufactured a custom circle with 24' OD and some custom curved lighting tubes. Within four days, these custom fabrications were built and powder coated black.
“Working closely with Spike and Justin of Artfag LLC, a custom curved support structure needed to be created and the clock was ticking,” commented Ted Fowler of Ed & Ted’s Excellent Lighting. “Exchanging CAD drawings via email and often in the middle of the night, a total solution was achieved and a shop order placed in the nick of time. It takes desire and passion at many levels to accomplish these great goals. It is obvious to Ed & Ted's that Tomcat has the right people in right place to achieve great goals in a short period of time.”
Motley Crue’s launched their ‘Red, White and Crue – Better Living Than Dead’ reunion tour on 14th February in San Juan, Puerto Rico. To date, over 120 dates are scheduled in the US, Canada and Europe.
