Rockin' the Britannia Arms in Cupertino. Crimes of Passion, finalist in the 2005 and 2006 KFOX Last Band Standing contest, opens at 8:30. $5 cover.

Mark your calendars for Friday, May 11th @ The Little Fox Theater...

The Men of Tin are both pleased and excited to announce our first Headlining gig at the Little Fox Theater! In fact, according to sources in the know, this is the first time a Rock Cover Band has headlined the Little Fox in several years. We attribute this opportunity to a lot of hard work and most importantly to our fans who continue to support us. Without you, we'd still be stuck in a garage somewhere!

We will be performing a long two hour set that will feature several new songs for you to groove to and enjoy. This will be a big night so don't miss it!

Opening the show will be two great young bands that have been doing quite well for themselves on the local circuit. First up at 8:00pm will be tribute to the 70's... The Silicon Cowboys, who will bring their brand of bad boy rockin' fun. Up next will feature BIG DADDY SUNSHINE as they move the night a little modern with great renditions of classic songs from the last twenty years. Finally, TinMan will groove you deep into the night with our spin on some of the greatest songs ever recorded. Tickets are $12.00 advanced and $14.00 at the door. More Information at Little Fox!

TinMan we will be opening for guitarist extraordinaire Les Dudek

Location: Little Fox Theater in Redwood City

Les Dudek is one of the great, unsung guitar heroes of the classic rock era. His name may not be as familiar as the Allman Brothers' and Steve Miller's, but Les contributed to the albums that would come to define those artists. Les's career took off after an early opportunity with the Allman Brothers. Following Duane Allman's death, Les was brought in to help record "Ramblin Man" and, later, "Jessica". Boz Scaggs snatched Dudek up, producing Dudek's first solo album and forging a musical partnership that would result in Scaggs' classic "Silk Degrees" album. While working with Boz, Dudek befriended a group of musicians with whom he would work extensively; those same musicians later enjoyed a wildly successful career as Toto. In 1980 Les formed Black Rose with Cher, releasing one of the more rocking endeavors in her entire catalog. In the intervening years, Les has continued on as a solo artist. In the 90's he released the acclaimed "Deeper Shades of Blues" album, and just recently unveiled "Freestyle", a retro-fueled mix of songs both new and old, and featuring contributions from Stevie Nicks and Jeff Porcaro, among others. Let's go freestylin' with Les Dudek! www.lesdudek.com

TinMan returns to the Little Fox Theater to ring in 2007!

Mark those calendars as TinMan will play the Little Fox theater for a record 5th time in 2006 on December 31st...New Year's Eve! We will once again be opening for our friends the Sun Kings with their amazing tribute to the Beatles! Your Men of Tin will hit the stage @ 8:00pm to give a rousing 90 minute set that will feature our new bassist "Philly" Bill Weir!

Afterward, The Sun Kings will "Hold Your Hand" as the clock strikes 12:00 and we "Helter Skelter" into 2007! We will have a "Revolution" with Champagne that will "Carry That Weight" and party favors from "Dear Prudence" that will cause "Beethoven to Roll Over"! Your "Ticket to Ride" is $40.00 and can be bought at the Little Fox web site, Box Office or TinMan band member. "I've Got a Feelin'" you won't want to miss this extraordinary "Magical Mystery Tour" of "Rock and Roll Music" from two of the Bay Area's hottest acts!

TINMAN GETS BASS BOOST!

TinMan welcomes their new bass player and band member - bass guitar pro and vocalist 'Philly' Bill Weir, to the band lineup! Bill is a 'seasoned' musician and vocalist with stage presence and should prove a great addition to the already popular TinMan groove!

In recent months, TinMan has successfully co-headlined one of the bay area's premier concert clubs -The Little Fox Theater in Redwood City multiple times, played the world famous Slims in San Francisco and numerous other venues in Northern California. With Bill's addition to their lineup, TinMan looks forward to expanding their success and fan base beyond the bay area borders. Welcome 'Philly' Bill!

PS - Bill earned his nickname while playing bass for east coast blues/rock guitar great Mike Dugan, since Bill lived to closest to the City of Brotherly Love!

The Little Fox Theatre with Led Zeppelin Live, Redwood City. Another solid crowd, another solid set highlighted by the debut of "Desperado." The men of tin have a new home in Redwood City's revitalized downtown.

New FunnelHeads were in the house as the TinBoys gave a two set performance at the Crow on the waters of Santa Cruz. It was a good night to prove their worth and they were asked back for a Friday night (July 28th) show. We now know the weekends are when the hippies from the cradle of California environmentalism usually crawl out of their yurts to get the groove on with a rock band of heartfelt stature such as us. We can't wait for the return engagement!

2006-04-14

The Little Fox certainly felt BIG Friday night. Perhaps it was the sold out crowd, but we'd like to believe it was the thunderous wall of sound emmanating from our instruments as we flew threw the most energetic set the Men of Tin have yet to play! Nothing but good vibes and rivers of beer flowing through our arteries, and even a touch of magic... But that's another story altogether...

2006-03-04

Babe was in the house and the boys rocked another night, taking no prisoners. Ok, so a couple of willing prisoners did came home with unmentioned band members. Fun was had by all, but if you weren't there you missed a big night and willing prisoners. Oh and we got word dear old Tumbleweed has hit the rails for cities unknown and is now gone forever. His harp will be missed.

TinMan have now entered into a production relationship with Tom Miller Music, an outstanding business and a super cool guy.

TinMan are cheered on by the thankful rescued and countless other generally happy persons as they play a triumphant concert at Babe's Place in Livermore.

2005-10-06

KFOX studios fell victim to foul cosmic weather and tumbled down a wormhole into an alternate universe before they could announce the Last Band Standing finalists. Messages in bottles have tumbled back through the wormhole, according to reports on the scene, proclaiming affection for missed loved ones and pets; sending requests for food, water, and deodorant; and communicating this: "We hope to make it back, but we are compelled to at least complete our duty to the world by announcing the summarily-decided award of the 'Greatest Force For Uplifting Humanity' prize to TinMan!"

When the TinMan forces return from providing rescue services to those in less fortunate dimensions they will play a victory concert at Babe's Place in Livermore.
