I noticed that San Francisco is not listed (but they are listed on the tour poster) and April 16th list listed as Springfield, VA instead of White Marsh, MD. I'm not sure which is correct.
 
Here's the Crashdiet tour page: http://www.crashdiet.org/index.php/tour

From www.melodicrock.com :

Hard rock lovers worldwide can click here to witness the worldwide premiere of the video for Swedish sleaze rockers Crashdiet's brand new track, California. The song is taken from their latest album, THE SAVAGE PLAYGROUND, which was just released worldwide via Frontiers Records and debuted at #2 on the Swedish album charts. Next month, Crashdiet are set to take their fiery live show to the masses in North America with a headlining tour kicking off on March 15 at Hooligans in Albuquerque, NM.

A leading force in the Swedish "sleaze rock" scene of the 2000s, Crashdiet harkens back to the glam metal movement of the 1980s, with a more pronounced punk element. Crashdiet has earned an international following of diehard fans through extensive touring, with stints supporting the likes of Motley Crue, Ozzy Osbourne and more. Crashdiet overcame tragedy early in their career when original lead singer Dave Lepard committed suicide. Determined to carry on Lepard's legacy, Crashdiet has endured and has become an example of determination to their fans. Crashdiet is Martin Sweet (guitars), Peter London (bass), Eric Young (drums) and Simon Cruz (vocals).
 
I caught Crashdiet on Monday in San Francisco. Super high energy show, although a bit short. They played only 10 songs in one hour. Simon's voice was a bit rough, especially on the long high notes. I understand that he had lost his voice last week and they had to cancel a show and had a second show that they played with the the other band members singing instead of Simon. That might be part of the reason for the short set as well. Crucified Barbara, who opened the show, were really great. Heck, they were worth the bargain ticket price just for them alone, not to mention that they were really easy on the eyes. I'd recommend checking out this tour when it comes near you.
