Hi folks, hope you all had a great weekend and those still Christmas shopping are done now or very nearly done, it's manic out there!
Yes there's been a lack of updates of late still, sorry, it is that time of year of course, which just adds to the lack ot news and new material or info thereof and then the lack of time to get the site up to date with anything ...
Anyway, enough of my groans .... Have a great week folks!
Cheers, Al
UFO's 'Seven Deadly' artwork revealed
One of the UK's most underrated rock bands UFO, are about to unleash on the world their latest album and it's their 21st studio release and the fourth to feature Vinnie Moore on lead guitar.
Yes, 'Seven Deadly' is due to be released in February 2012 through SPV / Steamhammer.
The band continues to tour, year in year out and as far as I can make out, Phil Mogg is sounding as good as ever!
Sadly, there's no invovement for Pete Way here, where his future path lies with UFO or otherwise, is really anyone's guess. Sadly, Pete is still haunted by his health issues and quite where they stand right now, is anyone's guess?
Phil is joined in the band though, by once again, classic UFO members Andy Parker (Drums) and Paul Raymond (Keyboards / Guitars / vocals).
'The Visitor' was the bands last release in 2009, the other two Vinnie Moore releases were 'You Are Here' (2004) and 'Monkey Puzzle' in 2006.
Here's just a reminder of those release dates for the latest UFO album coming in February 2012:
24th February, 2012 - Germany
27th February, 2012 - Rest of Europe
28th February, 2012 - USA and Canada
For more information on the band and future live dates:
