Mr Mister are back, one last time with their final album
Mr. Mister is a multi-platinum group with the #1 classic hits "Broken Wings" and "Kyrie." In 1990 they created their fourth album “Pull” , but because of record company politics, the album was never released and the band members moved on to other projects.
Since then, lead singer Richard Page has written songs for artists such as Madonna, Celine Dion, Leona Lewis and Josh Groban among many others.
Editors note: Not very rock and roll I know, but he's also written material with many rock acts too, during Mr. Mister downtime, as well as providing background vocals and more on different artist's albums.
Over three decades, Richard has had hundreds of songs recorded, written three number one hits, had a number one album—Mr. Mister’s "Welcome to the Real World"—and recorded two highly regarded solo albums, "Shelter Me" and most recently, “Peculiar Life”, produced by Oingo Boingo alum Richard Gibbs and featuring legendary drummer and old friend, Vinnie Colaiuta. He also was one half of the critically acclaimed group, 3rd Matinee and collaborated with Weather Report keyboardist, the late Joe Zawinul.
Most recently, Richard toured with Ringo Starr and his All-Starr Band playing bass and singing his hits along with fellow All-Starr’s Edgar Winter, Rick Derringer, Gary Wright, Wally Palmer and Gregg Bissonette.
Most recently, Richard created his own indy label, Little Dume Recordings and with a little help from industry friends, has secured the rights to finally release the “lost” Mr. Mister album “Pull.” It will be available at www.littledumerecordings.com/ in October 2010.
A new website is on the way for the band, so follow what's happening right here:
ROCK ‘N’ ROLL FANTASY CAMP ROCKS THE BAHAMAS AT ATLANTIS, PARADISE ISLAND IN FEBRUARY 2011
First-Ever Tropics Camp Features Special Guest Counselors
Tommy Lee, Ace Frehley and Lita Ford
The Who’s Roger Daltrey Slated to Host New York City Rock Camp in January
LOS ANGELES (November 11, 2010) — Can you imagine playing lead guitar for Motley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee or jamming alongside KISS icon Ace Frehley and pioneering Runaways rock goddess Lita Ford in front of a live, screaming and standing-room-only crowd? For many people, this is a lifelong fantasy; at Rock ‘N’ Roll Fantasy Camp, it becomes reality. From February 17th to 20th at the world-famous Atlantis, Paradise Island in The Bahamas, rock enthusiasts and amateur musicians from all walks of life will have the opportunity to interact with, learn from, jam with and perform alongside their idols as part of the rock camp that became the centerpiece of VH1 Classic’s new series – also called Rock ‘N’ Roll Fantasy Camp – which debuted October 16th as the most watched series premiere in network history.
Over the four-day camp, counselors will kick-start campers’ hearts – and rock skills – transforming them from rock hobbyists into arena maestros. In addition to guest counselors Lee, Frehley and Ford, Rock ‘N’ Roll Fantasy Camp at Atlantis will feature several of the rock star counselors from the Mark Burnett-produced VH1 Classic show, including Rudy Sarzo of Quiet Riot, Kip Winger of Winger, and renowned singer/songwriter Mark Hudson (Aerosmith), plus Alan White of YES, George Lynch of Dokken, and many others.
“The Bahamas is going to rock like never before when Rock ‘N’ Roll Fantasy Camp invades Atlantis Resort with an unprecedented line-up of some of the most celebrated rockers on the planet, all there for one reason: to make rock ‘n’ roll magic by transforming amateurs into rock stars,” says Rock Camp founder/CEO David Fishof. “Where else can someone with a passion for music spend four days playing with and learning from rock icons like Tommy Lee, Ace Frehley and Lita Ford? Our Bahamas camp will be one of our most life-changing events ever produced.”
From the minute campers arrive in the Bahamas, their rock ‘n’ roll adventure begins. Campers will form their own bands; meet, jam with and receive intensive and ongoing instruction from the rock star counselors; spend over 10 hours a day in-studio jamming and creating original music under the guidance of a famous rock musician; take a variety of specialized master classes conducted by rock icons; break bread with industry insiders; and play live before a jam packed crowd at Atlantis, Paradise Island.
There are three packages – the four-day Rock Star package, and six-day Headliner and the Groupie packages – allowing campers a variety of options to tap into their inner Robert Plant.
“Rock ‘N’ Roll Fantasy Camp premiered as the most watched show in VH1 Classic history for a reason,” added Fishof. “Our Atlantis camp this February will be one of our most star-studded camps ever.”
Prior to the Bahamas camp, Rock ‘N’ Roll Fantasy Camp takes New York City by storm January 12th to 17th with help from special guest counselor Roger Daltrey of The Who, one of the most iconic front men in rock history. Additionally, this fall, in conjunction with the VH1 Classic series, Rock ‘N’ Roll Fantasy Camp is criss-crossing the nation, bringing a series of “Weekend Warrior” Camps to several cities. The tour, which kicked off in Philadelphia on October 22nd, is led by Allman Brothers legend Dickey Betts and ends in Chicago (Nov. 19-21). Spots are still available in Chicago.

Giuffria - Giuffria and Silk and Steel get the Remaster treatment
For many years, this first album by this band has been much sort after by fans of Angel, House of Lords and hard rock music fans in general, on eBay, Amazon and many mail order outlets, for silly money.
Giuffria the band was formed around former Angel keyboard wizard Gregg Giuffria and was fronted by the very talented David Glen Eisley.
Finally, this first album gets a re-release on the METAL MIND PRODUCTIONS label along with the band's second release, 'Silk and Steel' and is distributed through MVD and it's available now.
Sadly, no new bonus tracks with the first one, but one bonus track 'Say it Ain't True' is on the reissue / remaster of 'Silk and Steel.' I am curious to know how these new re-reissues sound.
Here's the press release with it:

The LP reached #26 on the album charts, spawning two hit singles - "Call to Your Heart" (#15 on the Hot 100 list) and "Lonely In Love" (#57). Thanks to their increasing popularity, the band was chosen to support the legendary Deep Purple on their 1984 reformation US tour. With this exclusive reissue of Giuffria's stunning self-titled debut we bring you back the legacy of a true 1980's rock legend ... The new digipak edition of the album is limited to 2000 copies.

.... And finally ...
Led Zeppelin 2 tour dates ...
Now let me guess, this has got your attention right?
Led Zeppelin 2? Who's in the band to be able to use the name, right ...?
Well, actually, none of the members of Led Zeppelin at all, so how can they use the name one wonders?
I don't really know the true legal angle on this, but I'm guessing they AREN'T calling it 'just' Led Zeppelin so perhaps they can get away with it!
The band are represented by an agency out of New York, The Windish Agency, LLC so I don't know, sounds all very professional and you can check out more here, including their tour dates! Interesting ...
