News: Whitfield Crane (Ugly Kid Joe) Announce UK Tour

including a date at the Joiners in Southampton

Whitfield Crane will embark on his first-ever solo tour of the UK this September, including dates at O2 Academy venues in Sheffield and Birmingham. Drawing from his extensive back catalogue, Whit will play tracks from Another Animal, Medication, Life of Agony, Yellowcake, Richards/Crane and of course, his platinum-selling band Ugly Kid Joe. An incredible cast of characters have assembled to bring these tracks to life including Matt Reynolds (Haggard Cat) on guitar, Tom Marsh (Haggard Cat) on drums and the inimitable Toshi (Slaves To Gravity) on bass.

Whitfield Crane is best known as the frontman of Ugly Kid Joe, the hugely successful Californian rock band formed in 1990. Their debut EP “As Ugly As They Wanna Be” sold two million copies, making it the highest-selling debut EP of all time. The band enjoyed popularity in the early to mid-90s before disbanding in 1997. Since reuniting in 2011, Ugly Kid Joe have released studio album “Uglier Than They Used Ta Be” and have toured the world.
