CANADIAN HARD ROCK QUARTET CONEY HATCH RELEASE “LIVE FROM THE EL MOCAMBO,” A LIMITED EDITION 2LP VINYL COLLECTORS AUTHORIZED BOOTLEG

One of Canada’s most beloved and iconic hard rock bands, Coney Hatch first rose to prominence back in the golden era when vinyl was king – and the preferred format of most music fans. 

So, it makes perfect sense for Coney Hatch – Carl Dixon (guitars/vocals), Andy Curran (bass / vocals ), Dave Ketchum (drums, vocals) and Sean Kelly (Guitar /vocals)  – to finally release their  first ever long awaited live record on a 2 LP vinyl set. The set list reads like a “best of” for any Coney fan including songs from their debut classic 1982 Anthem/Mercury album along with selections from Outa Hand (1983), Friction (1985) and Coney Hatch Four (2017). Coney Hatch enjoyed major radio airplay success in Canada and the USA in the early 80’s and with the help of MTV landed many prestigious special guest slots touring along side Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Krokus, Accept, Ted Nugent, Cheap Trick, Peter Frampton, Triumph, The Tubes and Edgar Winter to name a few. They became instant press darlings with Kerrang Magazine & Sounds but didn’t actually tour overseas until 2014, where they headlined Firefest in Nottingham UK.

This first ever Coney Hatch Live record set is available independently now through the bands official web-store- rockpapermerch.com/collections/coney-hatch as well as Isotope distribution isotopemusic.com/contact.html for retail. A limited amount of CDs will soon be made available at these same outlets.
