Cheech & Chong, WAR, Tower of Power Coming to Arizona

Just announced!

On May 26th, the Cheech and Chong - WAR - Tower of Power show is coming to Tucson, Arizona.

The on sale date hasn't been announced yet, but will be available via the Casino Del Sol website.

Two great bands of the 70's come together for the "Hot Summer Nights -- Up in Smoke" concert, featuring War, Tower of Power and Cheech and Chong! The legendary multi-platinum band War defined early-70s popular music, fusing together rock, funk, jazz, Latin, R&B and even reggae into a string of hit singles and acclaimed albums.

Tower of Power has been creating their own kind of soul music. Since 1968, Tower of Power has delivered their unique brand of music to their fans, appearing before sold-out crowds as they tour the world each year. Tower's sound can be hard to categorize, but the band's leader and founding member, Emilio Castillo, has labeled their sound as "Urban Soul Music."

Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong had early success with the release of their first feature-length movie, "Up in Smoke" in 1978. The movie became something of a cult classic and was successful enough to warrant a sequel.

Now the comic duo has teamed up for "Hot Summer Nights -- Up in Smoke" a comedy show / concert featuring music by WAR and Tower of Power, as heard in the 1978 feature-length movie, "Up in Smoke."

Tommy Chong Auditioned, but Turned Down for Dancing with the Stars

On this week's episode of The Chong and Chong Show, Tommy Chong says he was asked to audition for ABC-TV's Dancing with the Stars.  Tommy, who has taken professional dance lessons with his wife Shelby, actually went down there and auditioned.

Unfortunately, he wasn't chosen.

Tommy said he was convinced they'd select him because he can dance.  After watching the show, he realized that Dancing with the Stars doesn't want people that can dance, they want people they can goof on.

Hopefully, they'll give him another chance.

UPDATE: Cheech and Chong to Launch Summer Tour with War and Tower of Power


On HuffPost Live today, Cheech announced that Cheech and Chong will be launching a summer tour with the bands War and Tower of Power.

Coincidentally, during this week's Chong and Chong podcast, Tommy revealed that their tour manager, Jimmy Root, came up with the idea of using War's Low Rider song during their act.  Cheech and Tommy told Jimmy they needed a song to play during the low rider sketch and he came up with Low Rider.

Tommy also said that they videotaped every show so Jimmy knew when to play the sound effects.  Sadly, they'd overwrite the tape each night.  The only tape that exists is Cheech and Chong Perform.  It's a bootleg that a club owner recorded.

The tour will take place this summer only, in open air venues.


The first date of the WAR / Tower of Power / Cheech & Chong tour will be May 25 at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles, CA.

Price: $100.00 / $75.00 / $55.00 / $30.00

On sale date has yet to be announced.

Cheech Marin on HuffPost Live

This evening, Cheech Marin was on HuffPost Live.  It was a super-interesting interview.

He discusses dancing with Kate Middleton while he and Don Johnson were in Scotland for a golf tournament.  The Prince and Kate had just started dating.  Kate grabbed Cheech's hand and said let's dance.  He thinks they should name their child 'Little Cheech.'

Cheech also revealed he's working on a book about immigration called We Come in Peace and We Have you Surrounded.

Marin's voice was hoarse because he just wrapped up doing a voiceover for a Mexican animated film titled El Americano.  It's about birds flying to American to join the circus.  Cheech plays the bad guy.  It will be released later this year.

So this means Cheech will have two animated releases this year.  El Americano and the previously announced Cheech and Chong's Animated Movie.

Cheech says the one thing that he and Tommy Chong would like to achieve is being inducted into the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame.  He says people often ask him why a comedy duo should be inducted.  His response is that many rock bands cover their songs.
Side Note:  Producer, Lou Adler, had a sticker on their albums which said Hard Rock Comedy.

Cheech and Tommy will be inducting Lou Adler into the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame next month.

Stacy Keach Discusses Working with Cheech and Chong


AV Club asked legendary actor, Stacy Keach (Mike Hammer, Sgt Stedenko), what it was like working with Cheech and Chong in Up in Smoke and Nice Dreams.

Sgt. Stedenko was definitely one of my favorite characters. I loved working with Cheech and Chong, and we had a lot of fun. Everyone thinks that everyone was stoned on the set, but that’s not true at all. Everybody was straight as an arrow when we were working. After work… well, who knows what goes on? [Laughs.] But on the set, they were absolutely very professional and were hard workers. We had a great time.

In celebration of 420, CHEECH & CHONG’S ANIMATED MOVIE will be featured on the big screen in a limited theatrical engagement. Details and theater listings will be announced in the coming weeks.

The CHEECH & CHONG’S ANIMATED MOVIE Blu-ray and DVD is loaded with bonus material including joint commentary from Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong, as well as commentary by the directors and producer Lou Adler, taking fans inside the minds of the duo that’s been making audiences laugh for generations.

CHEECH & CHONG’S ANIMATED MOVIE Blu-ray

● Commentary featuring Branden Chambers, Eric D. Chambers and Lou Adler
● Commentary featuring Tommy Chong and Paris Chong
● Low Maintenance Listening Mode
● "Medical Marijuana Blues" Blind Mellon's recording session
● Cheech and Chong Gallery

Note from the Weedmaster: Yeah, I'm also wondering why Tommy's son, Paris Chong, is doing commentary.  If you listen to their podcast, The Chong and Chong Show, he's constantly mispronouncing words and using words improperly.  Plus, he has nothing to do with the history of Cheech and Chong.
