    Ultimate Support was fortunate enough to catch the most recent Weird Al Yankovic tour as it came through Denver, Colorado this past July. Weird Al's band uses Ultimate Support stands.

  • XNO

    Hard Rock Band, Southern California
    Settling for nothing less than mind-blowing, gut-wrenching, wake-up-in-the-morning-still-rocking-out entertainment, XNO is committed to bringing all within ear shot into The XNO Alliance. And this isn’t hard to do with their high energy show that spills off the stage to touch the audience... literally! Though several of their performances have been aired live world wide both in audio and video format through the internet, nothing quite compares to the experience of a live show.

    "I have been using Ultimate Support stands for years because they are the best in the business and most importantly, they don't STRIP after awhile like all the other stands do. And the Dark Magic stand from the Custom Chrome series fits the look of XNO PERFECTLY. Thanks guys for making such kick-ass QUALITY stands!" - JT, XNO
