TOMMY'S ROCKTRIP, drummer Tommy Clufetos's (OZZY OSBOURNE, BLACK SABBATH) hard rock outfit where he offers his take on the rock 'n roll influences that made him one of the most sought-after drummers in the current hard rock scene, has released a new single, "My Wild Child". Listen to it here.
Tommy says in a press release that the song will "pummel out of your speakers while you spill your love out on overflow and overload your electric magnetic flow."
Performing with Clufetos in TOMMY'S ROCKTRIP's current touring and recording lineup are three members of the band LOST HEARTS: Max Frye on vocals and guitar, JT Shea on bass, and Victor Adriel on guitar.
TOMMY'S ROCKTRIP has scheduled five shows in August as the support act for Ted Nugent. The band will also play a headlining concert on September 12 at The End in Nashville, Tennessee.
Prior to TOMMY'S ROCKTRIP's March 2024 run of shows, Clufetos told The Detroit News about his latest touring and recording project: "I'm going on tour as a little experiment, to get out some pent-up rock 'n' roll energy. It's a melding of the styles I enjoy, updated with a youthful rock 'n' roll attitude. It is pile-driving hard rock 'n' roll. My own tunes are hard rock with a little more blues than what's going on with modern rock radio.
"It has that raw and real in-your-face feel," he added. "We're just four musicians playing together, which is a dying thing. We have guitars, bass, drums, vocals, no filters, no click tracks, no pre-recorded anything. We're just four guys, for better or for worse. It could be great, or it could be a train wreck. We'll see what happens."
At the time, Ozzy Osbourne told The Detroit News: "I'm really proud that Tommy is going out and doing his own shows. Not only is he one of the best drummers I've ever played with in my life, but I consider him a friend. I understand he'll be playing 'War Pigs' [by BLACK SABBATH] in his set. Believe me, I would love to be up there singing it, with him playing drums."
In May 2021, TOMMY'S ROCKTRIP released its debut album, "Beat Up By Rock 'N' Roll", via Frontiers Music Srl. Eric Dover, known for singing and playing guitar with JELLYFISH, SLASH'S SNAKEPIT and Alice Cooper, handled lead vocals on the LP (though Tommy grabbed the mic for three tracks). Eliot Lorengo (bass),Hank Schneekluth (guitar) and Nao Nakashima (guitar) rounded out the supporting cast.
Clufetos worked with such rock icons as Ted Nugent, Alice Cooper and Rob Zombie before joining Ozzy Osbourne in 2010. That led to a spot as the drummer on BLACK SABBATH's last two world tours.
