It entered the official UK album chart at #13 and shot straight to #1 in the official UK rock album chart. BCC's debut also hit #3 in Classic Rock magazine's Critics Album of the Year poll, while Planet Rock radio listeners voted them as the Best New Band of 2010.

Dokken to play live dates with revamped Quiet Riot
I have it on good authority, that Dokken will be adding to their own current live dates, a few dates with the revamped Quiet Riot guys.
Right now, Dokken have dates lined up, starting in March:
Fri 03/04/11 Anchorage, AK William A. Egan Civic & Conv. Ctr.
Sat 03/05/11 Seattle, WA King Cat Theater
Fri 03/18/11 Fargo, ND The Hub Entertainment Destination - This date may also be with Quiet Riot, although the venue's website at this time doesn't show either band ... The source was Pollstar.
Before then hooking up with Quiet Riot for these shows:
March 2011
Sat 03/19/11 Medina, MN Medina Entertainment Center
Fri 03/25/11 Chandler, AZ Wild Horse Pass Casino
May 2011Sat 05/14/11 Henderson, NV Sunset Station Hotel & Casino
Obviously, with a big gap between these confirmed dates, it would lead you to believe there will be more dates.
We'll see I guess, unfortunately while Quiet Riot's site does get updated, fairly often:
The Dokken updates at their site seem very rare ...
HUW LLOYD-LANGTON’S RELEASES NEW SOLO ACOUSTIC CLASSICAL ALBUM “CLASSICAL TALES” ON CLEOPATRA RECORDS
RELEASE DATE 25th JANUARY 2011
Huw Lloyd-Langton (Hawkwind) signed a deal 2010 with Cleopatra Records (USA) to record a solo acoustic classical album. 'Classical Tales' contains 18 short selected tracks from 18th, 19th and 20th century pieces with 2 of his own pieces and the link he wrote and performed ‘Fifth Second of Forever’ from Hawkwind’s ‘Levitation’ album. Although this is a distinct break from his usual style of guitar playing he is renowned for on Hawkwind albums; on most of Huw’s own solo albums he added a self-penned classical piece.
Huw does not claim to be a classical virtuoso but it is a beautiful thoughtful album and well worth buying, but if you want to order it shop around because at the moment it is cheaper to import it if you live in UK!
At the end of this month (February 2010) Huw will be working with Sarah Cockburn (Isis of Anubis) to record 4 acoustic tracks. They will be released later this Year. More information on the EKR Radio annual polls for 2010 under our News section on Huw’s official website. Sarah reached the number one spot out of 500 songs and Huw reached number 29 with his acoustic blues track ‘So Long Baby’ from the Hard Graft album. He was earlier voted into number one spot with this same track September 2010.
Allegro are also planning to release a Huw and Lloyd Langton Group (LLG) live double CD recorded in Gravesend 5th November 2010 followed by a live double DVD recorded at the acclaimed Hawkwind All Dayer, Leamington Spa 2 May 2010. Release dates to be advised.
In June Huw LLG will do a series of dates in UK. The venues will be confirmed and publicized soon.
Huw will also be in USA in September to perform a rock concert in Los Angeles with other world famous artistes. It is possible they will visit also visit other major cities. Line-up, venues etc to be publicized soon.
