They toured Germany around The Manifest Destiny album and were in the UK for the first time last year or the year before. Without Andy Shernoff who seems to have retired from playing live.

At least it looks like their fundraiser is going pretty well so hopefully they'll be able to raise the last few thousand of their goal.

it may not be classic Dictators but I always thought this was a fun tune,  And apparently the future Mrs Kelsey Grammer is one of the spandex clad dancers.

Less than $4K to go with 22 days left. Outlook good, hope they make it.

I believe Camille is the blonde in the green and black.

Close enough to classic Dictators in my book! Just ordered the CD because of it.
