Rye Coalition: live & in-person!

It took 5 years to get the Hard Luck Five together again onstage– but yes, it happened. And it was epic. All original band members played a sold-out show in honor of Jack Leto’s 70th birthday. Ralph Cuseglio, Jon Gonnelli, Dave Leto, Gregg Leto, Justin Angelo Morey, and Herbert Wiley V played songs from Rye’s catalog in chronological order from 1994′s “Teen-age Dance Session” through 2006′s Dave Grohl-produced “Curses” album. The entire set was recorded and videotaped by Jenni Matz and it’s now been edited into a two-hour DVD available only through this website. Order here or contact us.
