Beware of Fake Boston Concerts

(antiMusic) Boston mastermind Tom Scholz issued an insanely long update for fans on the official Boston site which warned in part of bogus "Boston" concerts that are being advertise this year. Here is part of what he had to say:

"In spite of recent misleading ads claiming Boston appearances and even reunions of original members, Boston is not touring or performing this year. While we're off this summer, several of our members are involved with other projects that are worth catching if you can:

Kimberley Dahme is releasing her new CD You Make Me Believe this month and has many solo appearances scheduled. Gary Pihl contributed writing, performing and production help to her effort, and Jeff Neal and I also did a little playing on the album. Gary will be joining Kimberley at several of her performances ... check out her tour page: www.kdsongs.com

Michael Sweet is touring with STRYPER this fall in support of Stryper's new album Murder By Pride. The tour marks their 25th Anniversary. Gary Pihl and I hope to catch up with them to sit in at some point.

Also, Gary Pihl is compiling a series of good quality video clips from live shows soon to be available here on BandBoston.com, watch for it!

We are hoping to embark on another major Boston tour next year. Meanwhile, I am finally back working to complete the next Boston studio album with some help from the gang, and I think you are really going to like it!

But I'm telling you it's not Boston...

As many of you know, numerous dates have been announced for the band COSMO, but have been promoted using the name, logo, or even the recorded music of Boston, which may have confused some as to whether Boston would be performing.

Fran Cosmo has explained that he was unaware that Boston's name, logo, or music were being used by his agent to promote Cosmo as Boston. While most of it has stopped, there are still some problems with unauthorized use of the name Boston in connection with some scheduled Cosmo performances.

Cosmo's extensive covers of older Boston songs recorded prior to Fran's involvement raised some eyebrows, but as long as these shows are not promoted in a misleading way using Boston, we see no problem with their performance of a few Boston songs, and wish them luck with their summer tour.
