Inspired by the promotional videos of the early 70′s.
On behalf of the band and myself, we are very excited to tour Japan. Out of all the places I have toured, Japan has always been closest to my heart… I love the people, I love the culture, and after seeing the effects of the Earthquake/Tsunami, all I can think about was getting over there to help lift the spirits and lend a voice to our dear fans and their families. Also, a portion of the proceeds form the ‘Rock n’ Relief’ tour will be donated to charity to support Japan.
I look forward to seeing each and every one of you… The Yanks are coming!

We are painfully shocked and devastated from the earthquake/tsunami disaster that has rocked your beautiful and precious country. The images we are seeing are heartbreaking. We hope that each and every one of you are ok and that your friends and loved ones are safe. Extreme has always considered Japan our home away from home and we will remain united in support during this difficult tragedy.
Love,
Nuno, Gary, Pat and KFigg
