THE DEAD DAISIES SET TO “BURN IT DOWN” IN 2018

Burn It Down, the new album from the Dead Daisies, is a muscular tour-de-force, a tornado of pounding drums, pulverizing bass, screaming guitars and in-your-face raw vocals. Evoking the best of 70s Rock, with moments of Birmingham’s finest, blended with the early works of Boston’s best, Burn It Down will do just that: burn down everything in its path until there is nothing left standing.

Recorded in Nashville, the band finished their 4th studio album in December.

John Corabi about the new record, “I’m extremely excited about our new record Burn It Down. It was a pleasure to once again work with Marti Frederiksen and the band on what I believe is the next great step in The Dead Daisies journey. This is a balls-out old school rock record!!! Enjoy it, and see you all on our massive 2018 world tour. Peace, Crabby”

Doug Aldrich puts it quite simply, yet to the point, “The new Daisies album will melt your face. It is raw and in-your-face with a whole new sound.”

With the band eager to get on the road and in true Daisies’ fashion, the band announced the first of many Burn It Down tour dates slated for 2018 right before Christmas with fans turning out in droves at the on-sale date. Many more dates are to be announced including the band’s highly anticipated return to Japan, North America, Mexico and South America.

With Deen joining the bands line-up to record the new Album, The Dead Daisies are: Doug Aldrich (Whitesnake, Dio), John Corabi (Mötley Crüe, The Scream), Marco Mendoza (Whitesnake, Thin Lizzy), Deen Castronovo (Bad English, Journey) and David Lowy (Red Phoenix, Mink).

One thing is for certain: within a short amount of time, The Dead Daisies have made a massive impression on the rock scene and managed to garner the one thing that every band desires but only so few ever have: HARD CORE FANS! They love the Daisies and the Daisies love them back.

SPREAD EAGLE SIGN TO FRONTIERS MUSIC SRL

Frontiers Music and Spread Eagle are very proud to announce the planned release of a new studio album in 2019.

The band has started pre-production in the Music Building, New York, NY which is the exact place where our debut album was written and rehearsed. Recording will take place at Studio E in Brooklyn, NY with Grammy Award winning engineer Tom Camuso.

What a fantastic, fun year this has been for Spread Eagle! In August-September we toured UK/EU for the very first time. A HUGE thanks to promoters Ian Glenn Wright at Hull Metal Heaven Festival, Bernd Wilbert at MBM Live, Seven Webster at Hard Rock Hell Festival, Sebastian Alsdorf at Paunchy Cats and our incredible friend Dan DeVita at TKO Artists. The shows were great, the audiences were amazing and the band had a truly incredible experience. Spread plan on more UK/EU touring (along with USA and other territories) as soon as the new record is completed.

We’re inspired and working hard on doing what we do best. Writing kick ass ROCK music that will be played loud and live…to many people. This is what we live for, so stay tuned!

JOE SATRIANI – JOINS TOGETHER WITH G3 TOUR MATES – AND FRIENDS–CARLOS SANTANA, NEAL SCHON & MORE TO RAISE MONEY FOR NORTH BAY FIRE RELIEF IN SONOMA COUNTY

World-renowned guitarist, and Bay-Area resident, Joe Satriani announces a fundraising auction, set to launch this Sunday, January 14th, at the Fox Theater in Oakland, CA to benefit the North Bay Fire Relief in Sonoma County. The online auction will be live for one week, with bidding ending on January 21st, bid here.

The auction will feature autographed collectible guitars from Joe as well as his G3 Tour-mates (John Petrucci & Phil Collen), in addition to guitars signed and donated by fellow Bay Area Residents: Carlos Santana and Neal Schon. Other items up for auction include a Huey Lewis signed harmonica and a Bill Gibson signed drumhead, along with signed posters and memorabilia from past G3 tours. Net proceeds will go to North Bay Fire Relief, including UndocuFund, directly assisting the affected undocumented residents of Sonoma County. The auction is being curated and administered by Bananas at Large.

Satriani has lived in the Bay Area for over 30 years and considers it home. His longtime manager, Mick Brigden, was directly affected by the fire as his entire neighborhood was destroyed, although thankfully, his house was spared. Raising funds to support those affected in their own backyard is important to the multi-Grammy nominated guitarist. Satriani says, “This special auction for North Bay Fire Relief in Sonoma County is close to my heart. So many of my friends and coworkers are still in need after the devastating wildfires. Please join me and my musical buddies in raising some funds to provide some love and care. Thank you!”

The guitarist’s 16th solo album, What Happens Next, was released today (January 12th) on Sony/Legacy Recordings. Listen to, Thunder High On The Mountain, from the album, here. Longtime touring entity, G3, opened last night in Seattle featuring Dream Theater’s John Petrucci and Def Leppard lead guitarist, Phil Collen, joining him. The G3 tour will conclude on February 25th in Milwaukee, WI.

Joe’s touring band: Mike Keneally (guitar and keyboards), Bryan Beller (bass), Joe Travers (drums).

MOTORHEAD GUITARIST “FAST” EDDIE CLARKE PASSES AWAY AT AGE 67

Motörhead guitarist “Fast” Eddie Clarke died Wednesday at 67.

He was the last surviving founding member of the legendary metal outfit, best known for their 1980 hit Ace of Spades.

“We are devastated to pass on the news we only just heard ourselves earlier tonight … Edward Allan Clarke – or as we all know and love him Fast Eddie Clarke – passed away peacefully yesterday,” the official Motörhead Facebook page announced early Thursday. “Ted Carroll (who formed Chiswick Records) made the sad announcement via his FB page, having heard from Doug Smith that Fast Eddie passed peacefully in hospital where he was being treated for pneumonia.”

Former Motörhead drummer Mikkey Dee, now a member of the Scorpions, said in a statement on Motörhead’s page, “Oh my f—king God, this is terrible news, the last of the three amigos. I saw Eddie not too long ago and he was in great shape, so this is a complete shock. Me and Eddie always hit it off great. I was looking forward to seeing him in the UK this summer when we around with the Scorps.”

Dee added of fellow founding Motörhead members Ian “Lemmy” Kilmeister, who died of cancer in December 2015, and Phil “Philthy Animal” Taylor who died that November, “Now Lem and Philthy can jam with Eddie again, and if you listen carefully I’m sure you’ll hear them, so watch out! Fast Eddie … keep roaring, rockin’ and rollin’ up there as goddammit man, your Motörfamily would expect nothing less!”

In addition to his work with Motörhead, Clarke formed the band, Fastway, with UFO bassist, Pete Way, in the 80’s. The band’s debut, self titled, album, spawned the hit, Say What You Will.
