Legendary Chicago doomsters TROUBLE filmed their July 10, 2008 concert at Safari Sam's in Hollywood, California on their Seal Your Doom Tour with plans to release a special-edition DVD that will include exclusive and unreleased material.

In other news, TROUBLE has released a rough-mix version of the new recording of the band's classic song "Come Touch The Sky" featuring new lead vocalist Kory Clarke (of WARRIOR SOUL fame). Check it out on the group's MySpace page.

Also on the TROUBLE-related front, the band's fans can finally get their hands on TROUBLE's "Unplugged" CD exclusively on Amazon.com.

TROUBLE has reportedly tapped Mark Lira — who plays in WET ANIMAL alongside TROUBLE guitarist Rick Wartell — to take care of the drum duties on the band's upcoming East Coast/Canadian tour.

The dates are as follows:

Sep. 11 - Casbah - Hamilton ON
Sep. 12 - Blue Moon - Toronto, ON

Sep. 19 - Volume 11 Tavern - Raleigh NC
Sep. 20 - Jigsaw Saloon - Cleveland OH

Drummer Jeff "Oly" Olson announced his departure from TROUBLE last month. He explained in a statement, "My reasons [for leaving] are justified. I felt like I was never taken seriously as a musician with the guys from TROUBLE, but I did the best I could in that 28-year effort with the band. That is all I would like to say for now. However, this is not a retirement from the music industry for I have my band, RETRO GRAVE, with the full-length coming out in a few months with fine players (the EP was a solo effort)."

Kory Clarke joined TROUBLE in late April.
