Steve Kimock will be with Ratdog on July dates, Karan back in Aug.


A Message from MK

hey there groovy guys and groovy gals... it's yr ol' pal MK here with some less than stellar news. i will not be joining the boys on this july run thru the good ol' USofA...

my MDs have decided that a lump i've had on my neck for quite some time may in fact be a bigger problem than they originally thought. they can't say it's cancer but they can't say it isn't either (all tests are negative so far but they are still quite concerned).

meanwhile, i have several wonderful healers that believe they can help me a lot with focused attention and hard work... so that's what i'll be doing for the next month. if all goes well... all good. otherwise it's western style surgery and we'll have to wait and see where the dust settles.

so get on out to the shows. they'll be different and i'm sure they'll be fun. if at all possible i plan on joing the boyz for a rockin' good time on the august run.

much love to alla you boneheads!!!

Steve Kimock, who shared the lead guitar spot with Mark Karan for The Other Ones' first two tours, will join RatDog for July's shows.

"Our old friend Steve Kimock has graciously offered to cover for him for this tour, and so we're thinking we should go with this," Bob is quoted as saying on RatDog's quasi site. "We'll be in touch with Mark daily, and if his docs cut him loose, we'll bring him out."

Adds MK, "I'll be back ASAP and I'm sure my ol' TOO-mate Senor Kimock will do his best to add something special to this run. Keep me in your prayers, and meantime…'Hey, hey…come right away…come and join the party everyday.'"
