Anthony und Chad Smith, die Top Stars der Rockszene, haben mit Chickenfoot
einen wahren Granatenwurf mit Flächenbombardement geliefert." (Hard Times)
"Diese Truppe trägt ihren Titel 'Supergroup' zu Recht."
(Ready2Rock)

Arizona vor, indem das Allstar-Team zu Höchstform aufläuft. Jeder der vier

ganz aus." (Soundcheck)
"Für alle, die sich die Gehörgänge von einer waschechten
All-Star-Super-Group freiblasen lassen möchten, könnte Chickenfoot genau das

THE ROLLING STONES
STONES IN EXILE

Russell
Im Frühjahr 1971
verließen die Rolling Stones als Steuerflüchtlinge ihre Heimat England und
siedelten nach Frankreich über. Keith Richards entschied sich für eine Villa
namens ´Nellcôte` in Villefranche-sur-Mer, in der anschließend auch die
Aufnahmen für das absolute Meisterwerk der Band, ihr Album „Exile On Main
Street”, stattfanden. „Stones In Exile” erzählt die Geschichte aus der Sicht
der beteiligten Musiker und zeigt umfangreichen Aufnahmen aus dem Archiv der
Band während ihrer Abwesenheit in England und der Arbeiten an diesem
außergewöhnlichen Doppelalbum, das von Fachleuten als bestes ihrer gesamten
Karriere eingestuft wird. Das Bonusmaterial umfasst Interviews mit allen
Gruppenmitgliedern Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts, Bill Wyman und
Mick Taylor. Dazu kommt Material von „Cocksucker Blues”, Aufnahmen von Mick
Jaggers und Charlie Watts Rückkehr in die ´Olympic Studios` sowie Einblicke in
Jaggers Landsitz ´Stargroves`, wo ein Großteil der Vorarbeiten zu diesem Album
stattfanden. Darüber hinaus findet man
Beiträge von Martin Scorsese, Jack White,
Don Was, Caleb Followill (Kings Of Leon), Benicio Del Toro, Will.I.Am (Black
Eyed Peas), Sheryl Crow, Anita Pallenberg, Ronnie Wood, Produzent Jimmy Miller,
Toningenieur Andy Johns, Fotograf Dominique Tarlé und Saxophonist Bobby Keys. Passend zu dieser
spannenden DVD wird im Mai eine neue Edition des Albums mit zuvor
unveröffentlichten Bonustracks veröffentlicht, außerdem erscheint im Herbst
2010 der komplett restaurierte Tourfilm „Ladies And Gentlemen…The Rolling
Stones”. THE
ROLLING STONES - "Stones In Exile" erscheint in Deutschland am

| | ::: NEWS 26.04.2010 ::: | ::: New release: JANE BOGAERT - 5th Dimension out on
Yesterrock on May 21st 2010 :::
Album: Jane Bogaert - 5th Dimension
Release date: May 21st, 2010
Label: Yesterrock
Style: AOR
Promo CD's: available now for media located in Europe

Right after her first piano lesson at the
age of 10 years, Jane Bogaert wrote into her school satchel: “Music is my
life”. And until today, music is still the most important thing to her. The
former Miss Switzerland actually now has really reached another dimension with
the new album “Fifth Dimension”.
This was already obvious whilst being educated at the
conservatoire in Biel and the school of musicals in Munich where she took
singing lessons. Her voice has matured during a couple of first tries as a solo
singer and back-up jobs for A-Ha, Thin Lizzy, Al Jarreau, David Hasselhoff,
Toto Cutugno, Claudia Jung, Roland Kaiser or Uwe Ochsenknecht. As a result, she
later worked for Al Bano & Romina Power and as a result, in the end took
over Romina’s parts completely.
At the change of the millennium, Jane represented
Switzerland at the Eurosong Festival in Stockholm, worked as singer and dancer
with DJ Bobo and as a lecturer for ‘pop vocal performances’ at the University
of Arts in Berne, Switzerland.
Even more inspired and infected, Jane together with
Robert Papst (Dominoe) and Guenther Skitschak (Dominoe) wrote the songs for
“Fifth Dimension” and engaged a couple of guests such as Jeff Scott Soto (W.E.T., Journey, Talisman,
Malmsteen), Joe Lynn Turner (Deep Purple, Rainbow, Hughes-Turner Project), John
„Rhino“ Edwards (Status Quo), Matt Beck (Rod Stewart) and Charlie Morgan (Elton
John) to help her with the realization of the
record.
These well known names and the great production job by
Robert Papst helped Jane a lot to get herself in top form as well. The
result is a record with obvious roots coming from the 80’s Rock music, which
nevertheless creates an immense closeness, intensity and tension force – an
album without deadlocked facets and shades.

::: AOR
Heaven & Metal Heaven to release new album by WICKED SENSATION and a best
of by BAD HABIT in June and some more news !!! :::
::: WICKED SENSATION – Crystallized :::
release date: 25.06.2010
label: Metal Heaven

In 2001, WICKED SENSATION for the first time stepped
into the spotlight of the international hard rock scene with their highly
praised debut album “REFLECTED”. Shortly after, WICKED SENSATION was
featured in the press as "The Newcomer" of the year, and compared -
but not least because of the charismatic voice of Robert Soeterboek - with well
known bands like WHITESNAKE. Their debut "REFLECTED" was named
album of the month in the ROCK IT! magazine and brought the band exclusive,
above average reviews and ratings worldwide. While touring Europe accompanied
by the English band Dare, WICKED SENSATION was able to demonstrate impressively
their qualities as well as their outstanding live performance.
Numerous shows and festivals followed the tour with
bands like Saxon, Saga, Nazareth, Roger Chapman, M3 classic Whitesnake, Axxis,
Vanden Plas, and many others. In 2004 WICKED SENSATION released the follow-up
album "EXCEPTIONAL” and Fernando Garcia (ex-Victory) took over the
vocals. Once again, WICKED SENSATION received outstanding reviews
internationally and again was named "Album of the Month" in the
Spanish edition of ROCK HARD magazine. After several gigs with this formation
the band called it quits in 2006 due to musical differences.
Michael Klein (founder, songwriter and guitarist of
the band) never really wanted to close the topic WICKED SENSATION. So in summer
2009, Michael and original singer Robert Soeterboek got back together to
arrange a new collaboration. Also joined by bassist and producer Dennis Ward
(PINK CREAM 69) and drummer Dirk Bruinenberg (ex-ELEGY/BOB CATLEY) the
top-class album titled "CRYSTALLIZED” was recorded.
"CRYSTALLIZED" includes all the typical trademarks, which have made WICKED SENSATION
well known on their debut album, and flawlessly connects with the successes of
the early days.
Marked by the typical, strong production of Dennis Ward (PINK CREAM 69), songs
ranging from the driving and catchy melodic rock tune to bluesy and soulful
inflected songs are featured, all which characterize the typical sound of
WICKED SENSATION. Again, singer Robert Soeterboek demonstrates the utmost
impressive qualities of his vocal performance. Furthermore, "CRYSTALLIZED"
also includes a guest appearance by no other than HELLOWEEN’s singer Andi
Deris. With the high potential hit record "MY TURN TO FLY", Deris
together with Robert gives this song a "certain something" to let
this one for sure become a catchy hit track. Even Dutch guitarist Arjen Lucassen
(AYREON, STAR ONE) involved himself to give the album a real rock classic with
"GIMME THE NIGHT", as well as keyboarder Eric Ragno (GRAHAM BONNET)
contributed keys on "GIVE IT UP".
"CRYSTALLIZED" impresses with a variety of first class songs, which definitely have a
convincing impact. Due to the distinctive guitar playing and songwriting of
Michael Klein together as a team with Robert Soeterboek and Dennis Ward, this
new WICKED SENSATION album will most certainly be the surprise of 2010!

KIDD GLOVE - Kidd Glove
Release: 09.04.2010
Label: Yesterrock
It all started when Motown decided to add a Rock Division to their company.
Getting signed to Motown Records at 22 was quite an experience in itself. A guy
by the name of Steve Barri was, at that time, the head of A&R at Motown and
also the designated producer for this undertaking. They held a huge audition in
L.A. which literally consisted of hundreds of contestants to find the perfect
“Rock Dude” so I joined the crowds of rock artists that were auditioning and
somehow won. I hadn’t researched it much before the audition and remember
asking myself, “I wonder what I won.” The answer was forthcoming and I was
immediately paired up with a couple of Motown staff writers to begin writing
the Kidd Glove album. It was recorded a couple of months later and released
with great anticipation and attained great success. As a special bonus this
re-issue also includes the first video from that album called “Good Clean Fun.”
Furthermore included are a few bonus tracks from a film called “The
Babysitters”. Another bonus song included is the song Paul Sabu wrote about his
son titled “Viking Boy.” which has never been released before.
Track list: 1. Good Clean Fun, 2. Killer Instinct, 3. Street Angel, 4. Spirit
Of The Night, 5. Fade To Black, 6. Hellzarockin’, 7. Somewhere In A Song, 8.
Secrets, 9. Susie Wants To Be A Star
Bonus Tracks: 10. Viking Boy, 11. At War With The Weights, 12. The Babysitters
13. Brothers Forever; Bonus Video: “Good Clean Fun”
Line-Up: Paul Sabu - Vocals & Guitars; Tommy Amato, Mike Baer - Drums; Jeff
Steele, Murril Maglio - Bass; Bobby Sandstorm, Tommy Rude - Keyboards
VIVA - Dealers Of The Night (CD +
Bonus-DVD)
Release: 09.04.2010

Rock“, was released. Four more albums followed with “What The Hell Is Going On”
(1981), “Dealers Of The Night” (1982), “Apocalypse” (1984) and “Cream-Cake Box”
(1996). After the re-release of the record “VIVA - Apocalypse”, Munich based

legends Rudolf and Michael, plus power rock singer Marc Paganini. The re-mastered

::: RELEASE
INFORMATION :::
::: PAVLOV'S
DOG classics now available as digi pack editions, remastered plus bonus tracks!
:::
Dear press partners,
today we would like to inform
you about the re-releases of PAVLOV'S DOG's classics "Pampered
Menial" and "At The Sound Of Bell". Please spread these news
around! 
PAVLOV'S DOG - "PAMPERED
MENIAL (digi pack, remastered plus bonus)"
Pampered Menial founded the lasting legend of Pavlov`s Dog. An undoubted
milestone in Rock History.
Pavlov's Dog were founded 1973 by Chuck Berry's drummer Mike Safron. When they signed
the record contract with ABC Records for $500.000,-, this was the highest
amount paid to a newcomer band ever. After the group was dropped within weeks
of the release, Columbia re-released Pampered Menial within a month, following
it’s own $500.000,-.
The album charted on two labels simultaneously on the Billboard Charts, a
first & last for the music industry. The music on Pampered Menial is a
unique, highly emotional music artwork, with David Surkamp`s incredible vocal
performance floating above like coming from another world. The album, full of
masterpieces like Julia and Song Dance, touches listeners deeply in their
hearts. The neverheard hightuned, fragile falsetto voice founded the – wrong -
legend that David Surkamp later died from inhaling helium before singing. Love
it or hate it, there is no space between.
An extraordinary band lineup - besides guitar, bass and drums there are mellotron/
organ, piano and an affecting violin - gained a singular sound. Listening to
Pampered Menial, it becomes traceable why the record industry was ready to pay
unheared figures to sign this fantastic ensemble. This 2010 reissue comes as
precious digi pack edition in restored '75 ABC vinly artwork, with additional
pictures of Pavlov`s Dog's in early days. Four bonus tracks make the release a
treasure-box for the fans: There is e.g. the previously unreleased original 10
minutes version of Preludin performed live, there is the outtaken song „I Wish
It Would Rain“ initially rehearsed for Pampered Menial, or the long lost 1st
recording of David Surkamp singing lead ever, „Rainbow“ recorded in 1969 by the
band Touch. The nine original tracks were sensitively remastered. Enjoy it!
*************
PAVLOV'S DOG - "AT THE
SOUND OF THE BELL (Digi pack, remastered, plus bonus)"
Pavlov's Dog were founded in
1973 by Chuck Berry's drummer Mike Safron. After Pavlov's Dog entered the music
scene in 1975 by the release of their 1st album Pampered Menial
(being no less than the highest signed newcomer band ever since!), the band's
2nd album At The Sound Of The Bell was released in 1976.
The musicians contributing to
At The Sound Of The Bell sound like a Hall Of Fame (Yes, King Crimson, Roxy
Music, Steely Dan, Jazz giant Michael Brecker, ...). Once again it's a collection
of masterpieces - maybe a bit less rocking than Pampered Menial, but even more emotional
affecting. Songs, such as She Came Shining, Standing Here With You or Did You See
Him Cry, mark another high peak of David Surkamp`s songwriting & vocal
performance.
This 2010 reissue comes as
precious digi pack edition. The original tracks were sensitively remastered.
Three bonus tracks of rare live recordings make the release a treasure-box for
the fans. There is e.g. Gold Nuggets live 2007, proving that David Surkamp's
voice until today has lost none of it's fascination.

Welcome to an over-view about AOR Heaven's upcoming releases for May
2010.
For our contacts in France: the promo for AOR Heaven/ Metal Heaven from
these titles on will be handled by Olivier Garnier at Replica Records (e-mail: replicarecords@aol.com). French press

band: GRAND ILLUSION
album: Brand New World
label: AOR Heaven
release date: 21.05.2010
After a four and a half year absence GRAND ILLUSION
have decided to reunite and the boys also have a new album with the title,
“Brand New World”, in the pipeline. The band core of Anders Rydholm, Peter
Sundell and Per Svensson are intact and guests on their new album are Gregg
Bissonette, Tim Pierce, Danny Jacobs, Roger Ljunggren and Kjell Klaesson.

"In 2005 we needed a break and to work with other
people to develop as musicians. The core of GRAND ILLUSION started in 1986
(under the name Promotion). A lot of things has happened during the four years
since the break up but now we all felt that it was time to get back together,
have fun and make some great music. We have never before worked so hard on
any album. Just having legends like Gregg on drums and Tim and Danny on guitar
solos feels like magic. The band formula with strong melodies and over the top
vocals are the same", says Rydholm.
In April 2009 Rydholm flew to Los Angeles to record
drums with Gregg Bissonette in WoodCliff Studios, Sherman Oaks. During two
intense days Rydholm, Bissonette and engineer Frank Rosato recorded the drums
and the foundation for the new Grand Illusion record. In the lunch on the
second day both were talking about favourite guitar players and one thing led
to another and before the lunch had ended, Tim Pierce was booked for a
guitar session two days later. Mike Slamer is another guitar legend that guests
on this new album. Roger Ljunggren played the majority of the solos on
"View From The Top" and we are very pleased that he once again helps
us out with a couple of solos.
The band is also very proud to be back on the label
where everything started. Georg Siegl and AOR Heaven helped us release our
first album (PROMOTION – “Not for sale”) back in 1997 and now look
forward to join the Metal Heaven team.
Track list: 1. Never find her alone (3.53), 2.
All out of love (4.12), 3. 157th breakdown (4.31), 4. Emily (4.47), 5. I'm

band: DRIVE, SHE SAID
album: Dreams Will Come
label: AOR Heaven
release date: 21.05.2010

DRIVE, SHE SAID, the team of Mark Mangold and Al
Fritsch has now 6 CD’s under their belt. Formed in 1988, and having
released their first album on CBS Associated in 1989 it’s a fairly typical
story: critically acclaimed album, dropped from American label (in the wake of
the new grunge movement), same record is well received in Europe and becomes
number one on various highly respected UK periodicals, members win top honors
in polls and tours UK and various parts of Europe, and go on to release 2 more
records for Music For Nations, and then after a bit of a respite, another two
records for the Frontiers label (one of them a partial compilation). The
band’s sound is characterized by Al’s stellar vocals, anthemic songs, scathing
musicianship and deep tapestries of keys and guitars.
Upon being asked to play at Firefest in October of 2009, Mark and Al jumped at
the opportunity and put together a stellar band with Jon Bivona (on guitar),
Mike Sorrentino (on drums) and Paul Ranieri on bass. Encouraged by the
wonderful turnout and generous response at Firefest, the band signed with Georg
Siegl at the prestigious Metal Heaven to do a combination compilation and
original record. Mark, having written “Fool’s Game” (Michael Bolton’s first
single) and “I Found Someone” (Cher’s comeback tune), was happy to record those
songs (also played in the band’s set) with Jon Bivona doing the guitar
honors. Also two new songs were written (one actually on the evening of
the Firefest gig in an explosion of appreciation and enthusiasm) called “Dreams
Will Come” and the heavier kick ass “Try To Let Go (FukUUp)”.
Al, who plays every instrument on “Dreams Will Come”, got an opportunity
to show off his multi talents. “Try To Let Go”, is a long overdue duet between
the two, and features a trade off between Mark and Al. The band is planning a
summer tour and plans to keep the ball rolling in support of it’s signature
melodic rock approach.
Track list: 1 Fools Game, 2 I FoundSome One, 3 Dreams Will Come, 4 Try2LetGo
(FukUUp), 5 Don't You Know, 6 Drivin' Wheel, 7 Maybe It's Love, 8 Hard
Way Home, 9 If This Is Love, 10 Think Of Love, 11 Hard To Hold, 12 Look At What
You Got, 13 Hold On (Hands Around Your Heart), 14 Stronger, 15 Real Life, 16
Love Has No Pride, 17 Always And Forever (Godz)

Label: Target Records (DK)
Vertrieb: Soulfood
VÖ: 30.04.2010
Format: CD

PURE HEARTED KICK ASS ROCK’N’ROLL
The birth of Copenhagen-based rock-outfit KARMA
COWBOYS was nothing less than miraculous. Because from a rational point of
view the band should never have existed this long after its initial gigs. But
fate – or rather karma – had different plans for the four band members.
The story began at Copenhagen Airport, where the group of seasoned musicians
met up to head for a small Greek island. Two weeks of concerts lay ahead of
them and only a few of them even knew each other. The set list was put together
high above the clouds and rock legends like AC/DC and Led Zeppelin naturally
formed the centre of inspiration.
A video clip for the song "Shine On Tomorrow" can be
found here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6kdM0GcFF4

::: BANGALORE CHOIR - On Target :::
label: AOR Heaven
release date: 23.04.
In 1990 David Reece (ex
ACCEPT) and drummer Rusty Miller were ready to form a heavy
but melodic Rock n Roll band named BANGALORECHOIR in Los Angeles,
USA. A place to look for great guitar players was the GIT in Hollywood,
and so John Kirk and Danny Greenberg were found. Sharing the same musical
vision the writing began. First songs were ‘All or Nothin’ and ‘Slippin
Away’, both on the ‘On Target’ release. While rehearsing, John mentioned the
guitarist Curt Mitchell who had worked with a previous group out of Reno, NV
called RAZORMAID. Rusty Miller and the group parted ways, new
drummer Darek Thomas Cava (ex BRUNETTE) replaced him. After a couple shows the
band had offers from almost every label in town and settled with Giant Records
and recorded ‘On Target’ released 1991/1992.
2010 sees the re-issues of
this record on AOR Heaven. Re-mastered by Martin Kronlund in Sweden, this album
now also includes a video clip of the song “Loaded Gun” as a bonus. BANGALORE
CHOIR are currently record a new album which will be released later this year
on the same label.
Track list: 1. Angel in Black 3:28, 2. Loaded
Gun 3:47, 3. If the good die young (we'll live forever) 4:26,

Below,
you'll find the basic infos about AOR Heaven/ Metal Heaven's February
releases Stage Dolls and Shylock. The release date for FM record had to
be re-scheduled and now is due for a release in March 2010. STAGE
DOLLS made it onto #1 into the official album charts of their home
country Norway via Sony Music - congratulations to the guys!
::: AOR HEAVEN release: STAGE DOLLS -
Always
release date: 26.02.2010
label: AOR Heaven
territory: Europe (without Scandinavia)
26th of February is the
date that everybody with an interest in rock music should make a note of, as
this is the day when Stage Dolls – one of Norway's best bands through more than
a quarter of a century – are releasing their seventh studio album. The title
"Always" underlines that this is a band you always can trust. And
simultaneously with the release, the band can mark the 25th anniversary of
their debut album, "Soldier's Gun".
Life on the road has been
almost endless for Stage Dolls since - especially in Norway, but between
concerts the boys have found the time to visit Nidaros Studio – where they made
their earlier records – and the result is their new, in total 7th studio album,
"Always". Torstein Flakne co-produced it with Ronny Wikmark, who also
mixed it with Stage Dolls' former producer, Bjørn Nessjø. The American back-up
singers from their success album "Stage Dolls" are also featured, so
everything suggests a classic Stage Dolls album.
Stage Dolls are: Torstein Flakne (guitar, vocals); Terje Storli (bass); Morten
Skogstad (drums)
Tracklist: 01.Always, 02.Raining On A Sunny Day, 03.Rollin', 04.Highway's Open,
05.Eye Of My Heart, 06.Better Off Pretty, 07.Taillights, 08.Saturday Night,

::: AOR HEAVEN release: SHYLOCK - RockBuster
release date: 26.02.2010
label: AOR Heaven
territory: Europe
The story of a decade...and
Shylock are back with their new album called “RockBuster”. The first step into
business was done back in 2000 when Shylock was featured on the German Rock
Hard sampler “Unerhört” with the debut song “Can’t Let U Go”. Just a few months
later they finally found a label partner and released their self-titled album. The second release was
called “Pyronized”, and the four-piece drew their attention to the audience due
to the quality of songs and numerous tour and live activities with bands such
as Bonfire, Axxis, Shakra, Roger Chapmann, U.D.O., Primal
Fear, Doro, etc. “Welcome To Illusion” is the
title of their third album. Rami Ali, well known drummer of Frontline/ Evidence
One and State Of Rock, contributed all drum tracks at the studio. This
production was released in Europe, Russia and finally in Brasil. Besides the
impressive sound, “Welcome To Illusion”
turned out to be three times ‘album of the month’ in different online and print
magazines. Later, back in November
2004, Shylock released the song “Farewell” on MTM Music’s 10th
anniversary sampler. This song was exclusively written for world known soccer
star Thomas “Icke” Hässler. Thomas invited the band to perform his song at his
farewell game at Cologne RheinEnergieStadion. About 20.000 people watched the
gig live in the stadium and over 1.000.000 people even watched the event at TV.
During the song-writing
and pre-production session for “Devotion”, Shylock performed some more shows,
e.g. at Bayern 3 radio’s Badetour with Right Said Fred, Adler’s Appetite (Ex Guns ’n’ Roses), and they supported Bonfire on
their “Double X” tour in Germany and Spain. Right after the release of
“Devotion” the band started with the production for the fifth album called
“RockBuster”. With Ondrej Hurbanic, they
finally found a suitable producer to give the songs power and a quite modern
sound. “Rockbuster” contains 11 powerful songs and a fabulous cover version of
Timex Social Club’s world-wide known track “Rumours”.
In December, 2009 Shylock
released a new song on the fan CD of German’s soccer club „1. FC Nürnberg”.
Tracklist: 01.Damn Good, 02.Dawn, 03.Rumours, 04.Sunshine vs. Rain, 05.Just For U,
06.Much, 07.Rose Of Cairo, 08.Strong, 09.Somebody Else, 10.The Moment, 11.We Are,
12.Wrong Planet Shylock

::: METAL HEAVEN
- the releases in January 2010 :::
band:
State
Of Rock
album:
A
Point Of Destiny
label:
Metal
Heaven
out:
29.01.2010
Four
years after the last FRONTLINE studio album „Circles“, time was
ripe for STATE OF ROCK, the new band around FRONTLINE guitarist
Robby Böbel. “Hutch” Bauer and Rami Ali, two old FRONTLINE
comrades, jumped on board, so the only question left open was who
could take the place behind the microphone. That was when label boss
Georg Siegl pulled the strings and got in contact with Tony Mills (SHY/TNT)...
..
After
only three demo songs it was clear that the chemistry between the
two songwriters, Robby Böbel and Tony Mills, was great. Their
strengths complemented each other and pushed them to new horizons.
It turned out instantly that this new band is about to become
something special!.. ..
Their
debut album, „A Point Of Destiny”, follows the slogan “75 %
FRONTLINE + 25 % SHY = 100 % STATE OF ROCK”, as it combines the
qualities of these two classic Melodic Rock bands: melodic vocals by
Tony Mills at the times of SHY classics like “Excess All Areas”
plus the unique guitar-licks by Robby Böbel... ..
In September
Tony Mills came to Germany to put final touches on the album. The
band used the opportunity and played some showcase-gigs in front of
a handpicked audience to emphasize that STATE OF ROCK are a real
band and not just another project. “A Point Of Destiny” will be
released on January 29th, 2010 – a date that any Melodic Rock fan
should mark in his calendar.
The band is: vocals:
Tony Mills, guitars: Robby Böbel, bass: Hutch

::: STAGE DOLLS release date
confirmed! :::
26th
of February 2010
is the date that everybody with an interest in rock music should make a note of,
as this is the day when Stage Dolls – one of Norway's best bands through more
than a quarter of a century – are releasing their seventh studio album via AOR
Heaven in Europe (excluding Norway). The title "Always" underlines
that this is a band you always can trust. And simultaneously with the release,
the band can mark the 25th anniversary of their debut album, "Soldier's Gun".
Life on
the road has been almost endless for Stage Dolls, but between concerts the boys
have found the time to visit Nidaros Studio – where they made their earlier
records – and the result is their new album, "Always". Torstein
Flakne co-produced it with Ronny Wikmark, who also mixed it with Stage Dolls'
former producer, Bjørn Nessjø. The American back-up singers from their success
album "Stage Dolls" are also featured, so everything suggests a
classic Stage Dolls album.
Here
comes the official promo clip as a teaser for the album (which you may feel free
to link to your sites of course):

Stage
Dolls are: Torstein Flakne (guitar, vocals), Terje
Storli (bass), Morten
Skogstad (drums)
