Inspired by groups as diverse as Led Zeppelin, Paramore and The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Kicking Daisies draws from a wide variety of influences to create a sound that is truly unique.
You need to experience Kicking Daisies live to know what they are really about. They’ve been said to be prodigies; but what they really are, are great musicians, songwriters and performers.
While they pull influences from the past, they are clearly the direction for the future of music. Singers, songwriters and multi instrumentalists’ intent on setting a new path that blends riff driven rock with incredible vocal harmonies to create a sound that fills you with that “I’ve just heard something amazing” feeling.

Longtime Motley Crue friend and fan, Frank Zummo of Interscope Records’ S.D.C. (Street Drum Corps) will be playing with the legendary rockers on their 8/21 Virginia Beach, VA, 8/22 Bristow, VA, 8/23 Raleigh, NC , 8/27 West Palm Beach, FL and 8/28 Tampa, FL shows.
Zummo is filling in for Tommy Lee who is nursing a hand injury. Says Zummo, “The first concert I ever saw was Motley Crue when I was a kid, and I’ve been a big fan ever since. It is a huge honor to drum with one of the greatest rock bands, and filling in for Tommy will be one of the most amazing experiences of my life!”
When not drumming with Motley Crue, Zummo is in the studio with band mates Bobby Alt and Adam Alt working on S.D.C.’s debut double album due out early 2010.
