Black Crowes to headline Carb Day concert.

The Black Crowes, nicknamed "The Most Rock 'N Roll Rock 'N Roll Band In The World," will headline the Miller Lite Carb Day concert on Friday May 27th at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

The Black Crowes have been one of the most popular rock bands in the world since its multi-platinum debut album, "Shake Your Moneymaker," was released in 1990. The band has sold more than 19 million albums worldwide and has developed a huge following by performing more than 2,000 live shows from 1990-2001, holding the unique distinction as one of the few contemporary bands to share the stage with such legends as Jimmy Page, Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stones, Aerosmith, AC/DC, The Who, Neil Young and The Grateful Dead.

"There are few bands generating the excitement and buzz that The Black Crowes are right now," said Joie Chitwood, IMS president and chief operating officer. "We are fortunate that their 2005 tour will include the Indianapolis Motor Speedway."

All six of the band's critically acclaimed studio albums have reached the top 30 or higher on the Billboard charts in the United States, with "The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion" reaching No. 1 in 1992.

Among The Black Crowes' numerous hit singles are "Hard to Handle," "Jealous Again," "She Talks to Angels," "Hotel Illness," "Remedy," "Thorn in My Pride" and "Kickin' My Heart Around."

"We couldn't be more excited about Carb Day this year," said Jeffrey Diem, marketing manager for Carb Day sponsors, Miller. "For Miller, it's all about providing legal drinking age consumers with a unique experience. The Black Crowes at the Speedway is exactly that."

The Miller Lite Carb Day concert, which takes place on the Miller Lite Stage in the Pagoda Plaza, is the final event of an action-packed day for fans at IMS.
