Bob Seger Announces First Two 2011 Tour Dates with shows in Saginaw, Michigan and Toledo, Ohio
After all the build up, talk and expectations, that have been ongoing since late last year, finally ... Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band have spread the word on the first two dates for their 2011 North American tour: The first two officially announced shows are:
Dow Event Center in Saginaw, Michigan on March 29th
and
Huntington Center in Toledo, Ohio on March 31st.
The Michigan show goes onsale on February 12th at 10:00 a.m. ET and the Ohio show goes onsale February 11th at 10:00 a.m. ET via Ticketmaster.
Dow Event Center in Saginaw, Michigan on March 29th
and
Huntington Center in Toledo, Ohio on March 31st.
The Michigan show goes onsale on February 12th at 10:00 a.m. ET and the Ohio show goes onsale February 11th at 10:00 a.m. ET via Ticketmaster.
These two shows are as speculated previously, right on Bob Seger's hometown doorstep in Michigan and both are in relatively small venues, compared to those he played on his 'comeback' tour, promoting his 'Face The Promise' album, that took place during 2006 / 2007.
This being the case, they'll no doubt sell out quickly.
Word is though that they'll be quite a few more dates yet to be announced. He has also indicated to various sources that after the tour, he'll head into the studio to complete a new album.
I for one will be very impressed if it follows the same path as 'Face The Promise.'

Hugh Cornwell to perform Stranglers classics on forthcoming April UK tour
I know what you're thinking, why is Al promoting an ex-punk rocker!?
Well, isn't Billy Idol just that and look what a class band the guy has always had backing him up?!
I did actually like some of The Stranglers work to be honest and truth be told, I preferred them over Billy Idol's Generation X!
Anyway, enough of that, here's the press release for one of the original 'Men in Black!'
Hugh Cornwell, the original vocalist and guitarist of the Stranglers, hits the road for a series of UK concerts from April 6th. The man whose credentials include the Stranglers classics Golden Brown, No More Heroes, and Peaches, will not only perform his critically acclaimed solo album Guilty, but due to fan demand, he will also perform epic Stranglers songs never performed before as a solo artist, including The Raven, Schoolmaam and Toiler on the Sea.
"The idea for this tour came from my fans," says Cornwell. "The requests for Guilty haven't stopped since it was first released. Now the fans have heard my interpretation of Rattus Norvegicus, they're demanding to hear the other Stranglers epics 'a la Hugh'. I can't wait to perform them."

Yeah, I'm still disappointed not to see any date in Detroit and they've not visited here in the past 10 years!
Shame.
NFL FOOTBALL PLAYERS/HEADBANGERS, FREE REIGN, RETURN WITH HARD-HITTING NEW SINGLE, "ONE STEP AWAY"
Free Reign is certainly one of the more intimidating-looking heavy metal bands currently on the scene.
And with good reason, as three of the four band members are players in the National Football League.
Comprised of two Dallas Cowboys (singer Marc Colombo and bassist Leonard Davis) and a Miami Dolphin (drummer Cory Procter), Free Reign is rounded out by a non-footballer, guitarist virtuoso Justin Chapman, and have issued a pair of hard-hitting releases thus far, 2010's 'Tragedy' and 2011's 'Heavier Than Metal'. The group has already won an award at the Golden God Awards [for "Most Metal Athletes"] and are making believers out of such headbanging notables as Rob Halford, Vinnie Paul, and Zakk Wylde. Don't say you haven't been warned about the power of Free Reign!

CLANDESTINE ANNOUNCES CD RELEASE SHOW FRIDAY FEBRUARY 11 AT THE WHISKY IN LOS ANGELES, CA.
DEBUT ALBUM DUE OUT FEBRUARY 15, 2011 ON NIGHTMARE RECORDS
Los Angeles' own CLANDESTINE have confirmed a CD release show for their new album "The Invalid" which is being released on February 15 via Nightmare Records.
The show will take place on Friday February 11 at The Whisky in Los Angeles, CA.
Lead singer June Park is eagerly anticipating the show:
"I'm very excited about our CD release show at the world famous Whisky A Go Go club in Los Angeles. It has been a while since we played out so I know I will have some excess energy to burn on the stage. I can tell there is something wild locked inside of me that needs to be unleashed by performing. I already feel the nervous excitement as I'm speaking about the show. And usually the more nervous I am, the better the performance gets which is odd. I look forward to meeting our loyal fans, and hopefully a lot more new people will come check out our new songs from "The Invalid" which will hit the streets on February 15 through Nightmare Records."
Heavy metal video website METAL INJECTION debuted the new video clip for "Disappear in You" You can be one of the first to see this breathtaking video at its direct link www.metalinjection.net/tv/view/6336/clandestine-the-invalid-video
Recently Bloody-Disgusting.com premiered another track from "The Invalid" entitled "Fracture" Check it out at www.bloody-disgusting.com/news/music/1351
CLANDESTINE and Nightmare Records have also confirmed that they will be offering the digital version of the album at a fan friendly price of $4.99. "The Invalid" will be available at this special price at ITunes, Amazon, Nightmare and all other major digital retailers.
CLANDESTINE'S ultimate goal is combining diverse influences and styles that mark a new generation with an unnamed creation while striving to provide a sonic link from the past to the future. Their fierce and melodic style creates a bi-polarity of music that is its own enigma...
CLANDESTINE is a truly unique band, combining progressive rock with female fronted metal, a touch of electronic music that enhances the futuristic timbre, and some smooth huge pop melodies. "The Invalid" is a must for fans of bands as diverse as Evanescence, Dream Theater, Fair to Midland, Rush, Lacuna Coil, Tool and Between the Buried & Me.
