Original EXTREME To Reunite For New England Dates In June

April 11, 2006

Boston radio station WAAF has announced that original EXTREME members Gary Cherone (vocals, ex-VAN HALEN),Nuno Bettencourt (guitar),Paul Geary (drums),and Pat Badger (bass) will be reuniting for a show at the Bank of America Pavilion (formerly Fleet Pavilion) in Boston on Friday, June 30. Tickets will go on sale on Saturday, April 15 through Ticketmaster.com. Rumors online now include shows at Foxwoods in Connecticut (July 2, Sunday),and Casino Ballroom (Hampton Beach New Hampshire).

The Boston Globe reported in its March 25, 2006 edition that the original EXTREME lineup would likely be reuniting for a few New England dates this summer. It's been 16 years since the band scored a huge hit with ''More Than Words", and the boys have since scattered. Singer Gary Cherone now fronts a WHO tribute band, Bettencourt plays with former JANE'S ADDICTION frontman Perry Farrell's new band SATELLITE PARTY, drummer Paul Geary runs a high-powered management company in Los Angeles (with GODSMACK as one of its clients),and bassist Pat Badger, believe it or not, raises alpacas on a farm outside Boston.
