MC5 in 2004

The surviving members of the MC5 are planning a tour and DVD release. The band, which will take the moniker DKT/MC5 will begin that short tour in Toronto on June 9th and a number of rotating special guests, including Evan Dando, and Mark Arm (Mudhoney) have been recruited to join the group at their various tour stops. Furthermore, a DVD entitled Sonic Revolution: A Celebration Of The MC5 will be released in July. More details on the DVD below.

Sonic Revolution: A Celebration Of The MC5 will be released via guitarist Wayne Kramer's indie label, MuscleTone Records and Image Entertainment. It will feature footage from a March 2003 concert in London with Dave Vanian of The Damned, Lemmy of Motorhead and Ian Astbury of the Cult. A second DVD release for the documentary MC5: A True Testimonial was scheduled for release this year, but various legal disagreements between Kramer and the film's producers have now put that release in doubt.

06.09.04 - Toronto, ON (Phoenix Concert Theatre)
06.10.04 - Detroit, MI (Majestic Theatre)
06.11.04 - Chicago, IL (Metro)
