Philip Anselmo at Kronk Fest 2009
Special Guest Partier Philip Anselmo Gets Down at Kronk Fest 2009 A champion of the stage joins with Detroit’s own champions of the ring, as musical heavyweight Philip Anselmo pays a special visit to the first annual Kronk Fest 2009 on Sunday, September 20th, at Clutch Cargos in Pontiac, MI. New Orleans native Philip Anselmo is a world-renowned vocalist and musician, who has sold more than 25 million records with Pantera, Superjoint Ritual and now, his new long time band of brothers in DOWN. But he is a FOK, a Friend of Kronk, newly appointed to the board of the Kronk Gym Foundation. Anselmo will be making a special guest appearance at Kronk Fest 2009, which will benefit the Kronk Gym Foundation in its efforts to provide new equipment for the Kronk Boxing Gym, plus tournament funding for the Kronk Amateur Boxing Team. Playing live at the Kronk Fest will be two Michigan heavy-metal sluggers: Deadhouse rocking out of Detroit and Housecore Record’s presents Cavalcade weighing in from Lansing. As an extra special bonus, there will be an exclusive sneak preview of the long-awaited rockumentary, “DOWN – Diary of a Mad Band,” which follows Anselmo and his mates as they tear up Europe – literally and figuratively – on their first European tour. Doors for this special evening open at 6pm. Tickets are $10 in advance, $15 at the door. A $50 VIP ticket earns you the right to party with Anselmo in the VIP section and a limited edition, autographed photo. The Kronk Gym is an internationally known boxing center, which under the direction of legendary trainer Emanuel Steward, has produced a cavalcade of ring champions, including Thomas Hearns, Hilmer Kenty Lennox Lewis and currently training Heavey Weight Champion of the World Wladimir Klitschko. Steward has recently established the Kronk Gym Foundation, which seeks to keep kids off the street and in the ring, where they can learn how to be good boxers and better citizens.
