In the summer of 2010, the band decided to record and film a concert one night under a full moon over Quakertown, Pennsylvania, and the results were released January 11th this year as both a CD and companion DVD, "The Todd Wolfe Band Live". On this special night, guitarist Todd Wolfe and bandmates Roger Voss on drums and Suavek Zaniesienko on bass display the power and tightness they have developed over the past two years of constant touring.
Living Blues just said this about the new CD, "A blister-inducing hellride from one of the most aggressive power trios currently putting rubber to road, the Todd Wolfe Band smokes it live, and makes no apologies for the damage."
