'90s Rocker Announces World Tour 26 Years After Leaving Beloved Rock Band
Dr. Chud (the stage name for David Calabrese), formerly of the beloved '90s horror punk band Misfits, has announced a world tour this year with his current band, X-Ward.
The trek, dubbed the Back to the E.R. Tour, will mainly take place throughout South America. The group will launch their nine-city run in San Foca, Italy on August 2 with an appearance at SurFest. The band will close out the tour on August 16 in São Paulo, Brazil.
Dr. Chud rose to fame back in the '90s after joining as the drummer for a reconstructed version of the Misfits. He left the legendary group in 2000 and formed X-Ward in 2003. Since then, the band has only released one full-length studio album, titled Diagnosis for Death, making this new international tour their next big milestone. The Back to the E.R. Tour will feature 90 minutes of live music, pulling from the nostalgia of the Misfits' '90s discography and X-Ward's own 2000s catalog.
