Switzerland, Poland, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, and Finland, where the tour will wrap in Helsinki on July 6 at Icehall.In the months ahead in celebration of the band's 35th anniversary, Toto will announce an additional leg across the globe, which will include dates in The United States.</p> <p class="p1">Few ensembles in the history of recorded music have individually or collectively had a larger imprint on pop culture than the members of Toto.As individuals, the band members imprint can be heard on an astonishing 5000 albums that together amass a sales history of a HALF A BILLION albums.Amongst these recordings, NARAS applauded the performances with more than 200 Grammy nominations.Band members were South Park characters, while Family Guy did an entire episode on the band's hitAs a band, Toto sold 35 million albums, and today continue to be a worldwide arena draw staging standing room only events around the globe.They are pop culture, and are one of the few 70s bands that have endured the changing trends and styles, and 35 years in to a career enjoy a multi-generational fan base.</p> <p class="p1">It is not an exaggeration to estimate that 95% of the world's population has heard a performance by a member of Toto.The list of those they individually collaborated with reads like a who's who of Rock & Roll Hall of Famers, alongside the biggest names in music.The band took a page from their heroes The Beatles playbook and created a collective that features multiple singers, songwriters, producers, and multi-instrumentalists.</p> <p class="p1">Historically, in 1970 David Paich met Jeff Porcaro and his brothers Steve and Mike.He was asked to and joined his band that played under the moniker The Merciful Souls, which soon became Rural Still Life.The band resembled a cross between Blood, Sweat & Tears and Mad Dogs & Englishmen, and they blazed a trail across LA's San Fernando Valley.Herein began the musical bond between Paich and the Porcaro brothers that would last for decades.</p> <p class="p1">When David and Jeff left high school they joined Sonny and Cher, which is where they met a bass player from Texas David Hungate, and synth prodigy Steve Porcaro took over the band.Virtuoso gunslinger guitarist Steve "Luke" Lukather joined, and it was here he met the other Porcaro brothers and Paich.They dropped "rural and became Still Life.Paich, Jeff Porcaro, and Hungate soon thereafter recorded Boz Scaggs'<strong>Silk Degrees,</strong>and in turn the three future Toto members made musical history.The sound they collectively created with Scaggs went on to sell over 5 million albums in the United States alone, and established Paich as a bonified writer.The recording also delivered his first Grammy Award of many, and gave him the confidence to pursue their next endeavor Toto. Playing live shows with Boz, Dave and Jeff brought brother Steve Porcaro back into the picture, and they toured all over the U.S Luke joined Boz shortly after as the record companies were beginning to take notice, and the career that has stretched decades under the name Toto began.</p> <p class="p1">With a line-up solidified in 1976 with drummer Jeff Porcaro, keyboardist David Paich, guitarist Luke, keyboardist Steve Porcaro, bassist David Hungate and singer Bobby Kimball, Paich set about writing what became the eponymous debut album.The young band aspired to hear their own music on the radio, and in 1978, "Hold The Line" ran up thecharts peaking at #5, delivering a multi-platinum debut.Worldwide, the song hit #1 in territories across the globe.The band was nominated for a Best New Artist Grammy, and "Hold The Line" was the first of a parade of enduring, evocative singles that have become the soundtrack for generations. Songs that include "Africa," "Rosanna," "99," "I'll Supply The Love," "Make Believe," "I Won't Hold You Back," "I'll Be Over You," "Georgy Porgy" and many others capture the depth that define the deep connection the band's 17 albums continue to have with the global fan base.</p> <p class="p1">The band's fourth album titled<strong>TOTO IV</strong><strong>Turn Back</strong>, in 1982.The record exploded onto the charts, producing the smash hits "Africa," "Rosanna," and "I Won't Hold You Back" which spent ten weeks at #1 at AC, alongside being a massive hit at pop radio, rocketing the band to instant international stardom.<strong>TOTO IV</strong>went multi-platinum and yielded 5 singles.In 1983, Toto reaped the benefits of their hard work and commercial success at the Grammy Awards, winning six different categories, including the coveted Album of the Year for<strong>TOTO IV</strong>and Record of the Year for "Rosanna." The record also won awards for Producer of the Year and Best Engineered Recording, while "Rosanna" also earned Best Instrumental Arrangement Accompanying Vocals and Best Vocal Arrangement. In addition, Luke won for Best Rhythm & Blues Song "Turn Your Love Around" which he co-wrote with Jay Graydon and Bill Champlin.<strong>TOTO IV</strong>yielded accolades flooding their way, and over the next two decades, the band continued to thrive worldwide, with occasional changes in personnel.</p> <p class="p1">In February 2010, the band announced that Mike Porcaro was diagnosed withAmyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig's disease.They planned a tour to generate funds to support the care of their brother, and to raise the public's consciousness about the disease.As they begin to prep for their first world tour in over a decade that includes a U.S. itinerary to be announced imminently, this dual commitment continues to be on their collective agenda.Toto World Tour 2013 will feature Luke, Paich, Steve Porcaro on keyboards, Drummer Simon Phillips (The Who, Judas Priest, David Gilmour), bassist Nathan East (Eric Clapton, Stevie Wonder, Phil Collins), and singer Joseph Williams, who sang the hits "Pamela" and "Stop Loving You" on the worldwide platinum release<strong>The Seventh One</strong>Williams is also featured on the platinum certified<strong>Fahrenheit</strong><strong>Toto XX</strong>(1998) and recorded "Bottom of Your Soul" on<strong>Falling In Between</strong>(2006).</p> <p class="p1">With the absence of both Mike and Jeff Porcaro, the success of 35 years can be bittersweet.Tragedy struck in 1992, when Jeff died of heart failure. Luke recalls, "He was not only my band-mate, but my hero.He was a few years older than us, and already in Steely Dan when we were still in high school. My goal as a kid was to someday be able to play with musicians of his caliber, and that of David Paich.Looking back, I truly feel honored to have been gifted with the amazing talent surrounding me and the band over the past decades through today."For Paich, he offers, "Playing helps me get through the heartbreak of not having Mike and Jeff with us.Whenever Toto is on stage, playing the songs we created together, I see them both sitting there.I'm reunited with my old friends again."As they set the stage for a two-year celebration of the band's 35th Anniversary, Paich adds, "When we were younger, we played with a rock attitude - even though we were playing sophisticated music.Now I think our songs and our performances bring out more of the subtleties, and more of the concern we have for the world and for other people.As you age and feel the love and support of so many fans over the years, your feelings for your audience deepens."</p> <p class="p1">With over 35 years together and thousands of credits and accolades to their names, Toto remains one of the top selling tour and recording acts in the world. Collectively and individually, the band has played on nearly every major hit record of the past quarter century, placing their distinctive stamp of excellence all over CD shelves around the world. Toto are the benchmark by which many artists base their sound and production, and they continue to transcend the standards set by the entire musical community, being simply synonymous with musical credibility.In the new media age, the band has enjoyed an on-line avalanche of impressions with views approaching an astonishing BILLION streams via official and unofficial videos posted.The video for "Africa" approaches 20 million views alone, while a live performance from Amsterdam nears 10 million.</p> <p class="p1">TOTO continues to raise awareness for ALS, commit energies towards fundraising for Police and Fire Departments of California and the Fallen Heroes initiative (http://www.fallenheroes.org/), and help the United Nations in their humanitarian endeavors through music.</p> <p class="p2">For a full list of tour dates, info on tickets & VIP Packages, click <a href="http://totoofficial.com/events">here</a>.</p> </p><p>From <a href="http://totovipexperience.com/">totovipexperience.com</a></p>Tue, 26 Mar 2013 12:20:00 -0700http://totovipexperience.com/news/139691<p>Dont miss the newest rendition of <strong>"Africa"</strong> performed by Jimmy Fallon & Justin Timberlake at Camp Winnipesaukee circa 1983 on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon!</p> <p><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/S9F86cAoi3o" width="560"></iframe></p> <p>From <a href="http://totovipexperience.com/">totovipexperience.com</a></p>Thu, 14 Mar 2013 23:10:00 -0700http://totovipexperience.com/news/136771<br /><img src="http://groundctrl.s3.amazonaws.com/clients/ticketing/media/09/02/images/assets/medium.S2t-k6xO6cQjy1Jyp7OuvqSknaVOWGnvJ-2idGuh8jk.png" /><br /><p></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">Grammy Award-winning single from the 1982 album<i>Toto IV</i>, is joining the Rock Band catalog!will be available for Xbox 360, Wii, and PlayStation3 system on March 12, 2013.

King--plus many more.The film traces the history and development of this uniquely American instrument. We'll meet players and dedicated guitar-nuts from all walks of life, who share their personal passion for the electric guitar.</p> <p class="p2">THE HARD COLD FACTS!!</p> <p class="p2">Filmmakers Robert Radler and Doug Forbes have been working on this project over the last five years. The film is almost ready for you the viewer,BUT WE ARE IN JEOPARDY.We've gone out on a financial limb to finance the film so far, and there is now a ticking clock. If we don't complete financing by the end of this campaign,the project is now indanger of foreclosure.</p> <p class="p2">THAT MEANS YOU MIGHT NEVER SEE THIS FILM! It would go into a vault and gather dust. </p> <p class="p2">We believe in this film as an entertaining and epic look at thesingle most culturally important instrument of the 20th Century, the electric guitar. Pop icon, artists' tool, or political weapon..the guitar has healed broken hearts, started social revolution, and gotten your booty shakin'. That's whyOVER 50 MILLION PEOPLE PLAY THE GUITAR. The traditional paths of financing documentary films are drying up, and that's why we are turning to you, our audience, for support. With your financial help, the final steps are:</p> <p class="p2">1) Licensing of the clips and music used in the film. (These licenses have been negotiated, and are simply awaiting payment for execution).</p> <p class="p2">2) Final color-correction and preparation of the master.</p> <p class="p2">3) The final audio mix.</p> <p class="p2">Should your support allow us to exceed our goal, we can pay the technicians, editors and other hardworking elves who have deferred their salaries to help get this film finished. Their contributions are have been critical to the success of this project, and we want to compensate them as soon as possible.</p> <p class="p2">HOW TO FEEL GOOD, AND GET GOOD STUFF TOO!</p> <p class="p2">We have amazing support from musicians and friends of the film...see ourlist!!...you can get aprivate lesson with a rock star like ROBBY KRIEGER of The Doors, SKUNK BAXTER, ALBERT LEE, CARL VERHEYEN of Supertramp, RICK VITO from Fleetwood Mac, a cool digital guitar from LINE 6, rockin' portable speakers from BOOMBOTIX, and a selection of SEYMOUR DUNCAN pickups, plus many more cool Turn It UP! items...customized guitar picks, Carl Verheyen Signature strings fromDEAN MARKLEY, and advance copies of the film! </p> <p class="p2">We'll beupdating and adding perksthroughout the campaign...if you don't see what you want,keep coming back. Check out our first wave of perks MORE TO COME!...</p> <p class="p2">In our test screenings, we've been gratified to learn that audiences find TURN IT UP! to be both informative and entertaining. As more than one long-suffering spouse has said to us..."NOW, I understand where this obsession comes from...". </p> <p class="p2">We want you, the viewer, to be able to enjoy this film as well. With your help, we can share our passion with you.

Please support them by donating to their team. You can find the links below their letter to all TOTO fans and friends.<br /><br /><em>On October 23rd, Brianne, Sam and Jeffrey are Walking in honor of their Dad and joining hundreds of walkers for The ALS Associations Walk to Defeat ALS, and we need your support to make our efforts really matter!<br /><br />ALS, also known as Lou Gehrigs Disease, is a deadly illness with no known cause or cure. <br />It affects the motor neurons in a person's brain and spinal cord. When the motor neurons die, the muscles waste away. Gradually, a person is robbed of the ability to walk, speak, eat, and eventually breathe. All the while, the mind remains sharp and aware of the total paralysis that is quickly setting in. Upon diagnosis, doctors give ALS patients only two to five years to live.<br /><br />And that's why we are walking for those who cant. Our efforts will help The ALS Association fund research to find the cause and cure of Lou Gehrigs Disease, as well as support services for people affected by it. Our team fundraising goal is to raise as much as we can, and we hope youll help us do as much as we can.<br /><br />By making a one-time, tax-deductible donation, you can truly make a difference in the fight against ALS. Just visit our online fundraising website listed below to make a donation.<br /><br />Any amount you feel comfortable giving is deeply appreciated. Every dime makes a difference! With your support, we can make a positive impact today in the lives of those living with Lou Gehrigs Disease.<br /><br />Sincerely,<br />The Porcaro Family<br /><br />Cheryl, Brianne, Sam and Jeffrey</em><br /><br /><a href="https://secure2.convio.net/alsa/site/Donation2?idb=0&df_id=19374&FR_ID=7416&PROXY_ID=3362377&PROXY_TYPE=20&19374.donation=form1&JServSessionIdr004=ga5rczm2o1.app224b" target="_blank">Click here to make a donation</a><br /><br /><a href="http://webgw.alsa.org/site/TR?team_id=209695&pg=team&fr_id=7416&et=ka8aO8VluzmaEL2z_yALyQ&s_tafId=144198" target="_blank">Click here to view the team page for The Porcaro Family</a><br /><br /><a href="http://webgw.alsa.org/site/TR?px=3362377&pg=personal&fr_id=7416&et=9H1LMCAf7X_Hwgmbo9VTog&s_tafId=144198" target="_blank">Click here for Brianne Porcaro's page</a></p><p>From <a href="http://totovipexperience.com/">totovipexperience.com</a></p>Sat, 22 Oct 2011 18:00:00 -0700http://totovipexperience.com/news/82151<p>David Paich will play in the band backing Stevie Wonder, K'naan, Lady Gaga, and Bono among others.
