The Hollywood Crue Fest Returns to the Whisky A Go-Go
Friday, July 26, 2013 at 12:01AM I wish I was in California so I could support this great cause. Since I can't be there in person, I guess posting this release so the West Coast Glammers can go helps a little.
Since 2001, the annual Hollywood Crue Fest has been held to benefit the Skylar Neil Memorial Fund, a foundation established by Motley Crue front man Vince Neil to battle childhood illnesses.
On Saturday night, July 27th, the world famous Whisky-A-Go-Go rock club in West Hollywood, CA will host the annual Crue Fest, featuring a full day of entertainment with nine featured bands and dozens of music industry guest appearances on stage.
In honor of Motley Crue front man Vince Neil’s daughter Skylar, who passed away at the age of four from childhood cancer, fans from around the world have shown their support by arranging events to raise money toward cancer research and other childhood illnesses. Of the most notable has always been the annual Hollywood Crue Fest, which takes place on the same stage where Motley Crue found their rock and roll beginnings.
Founded, funded and developed by music promotions expert Nick Culves, the show has been a Sunset Strip feature since 2001 and has brought tens of thousands of fans to Hollywood from around the world to celebrate and take part in the event. The 2013 edition of Crue Fest will be equally as spectacular as previous years.
Club doors open at 4:30 pm, with the show starting at 5:00 pm. The bands on stage will offer hours of consistent performances, including an All-Star Jam featuring some of the hard rock industries top performers. The current line-up announcement is as follows:

Yeah, I don't think Vince ever does the regional Crue Fest shows.
Hit & Run are also notable.
Do you know, or did you know cats from either of those bands and did ya see 'em?
