Imagine you are in a brand new band in 2019, ready to go with a few rockin’ songs, and are looking to jump on a few tours. The pandemic hits. You have to sit and wait and hope you’re not forgotten, with the uncertainty that you’ll ever be able to hit the road.
With the start of 2022, you get a chance to hit it hard in support of a new album. You tour for what seems like an eternity with mainstream rock icons and come out one last time on your own solo-headlining tour just to put a cherry on top.
That is exactly what the guys from Classless Act did. They came through the metro three separate times this past year, playing at the recordBar, Kauffman Stadium, and then finishing up at Lucia in Lawrence. I guess that’s what you do when your debut album features Vince Neil of Mötley Crüe and Justin Hawkins of The Darkness.
After missing the first show at the recordBar with Dorothy, I managed to catch them opening up the Stadium Tour with Def Leppard, Mötley Crüe, and Joan Jett and the Blackhearts.
With this being my first exposure to the band, I was eager to cover them when they were at a much smaller venue. The band performed for a crowd of 20 people with the same explosive stadium rock energy they exuded at The K.
