An interesting message from Carl Palmer
Scouting around as usual for the latest news updates for the site, I checked out Carl Palmer's site and this message from Carl to E.L.P. fans, was right at the top of the home page.
Looks like Asia has the power!
'Dear Friends and Fans of ELP,
It is with great sadness that I have heard about the abrupt cancellation of opening night to the 'EVENING WITH KEITH EMERSON / GREG LAKE' tour.
My commitments to ASIA and The Carl Palmer Band had made it impossible to perform at this time with Keith (Emerson) and Greg (Lake).
I have not spoken with either Keith or Greg, but I am very proud of the legacy that ELP has created. When I return to North America in October / November 2010, with The Carl Palmer Band, I will be performing much of that familiar music once more. In the end, it is our music that has made the difference, not the individuals, and it deserves to live on. That is the least I can do for the countless numbers of fans that have always been there for all three of us over these last 40 years.
Thank you, and I will see you in the fall of this year.
Sincerely.
Carl Palmer.
April 3rd, 2010'
So I guess folks, watch out for The Carl Palmer Band touring in the USA in the Fall of 2010!
Roadrunner Records announces a partnership with the Steve Miller Band
Bingo! Due out June 15th First Studio Album In 17 Years!
New York, NY: Roadrunner/Loud & Proud Records is pleased to announce a worldwide partnership with American rock ‘n’ roll pioneers, The Steve Miller Band and Miller’s new imprint Space Cowboy Records. Recorded at film producer George Lucas’ infamous studios at Skywalker Ranch, BINGO! is the band’s first studio album in 17 years. A true return to Miller’s roots, BINGO! echoes his early years in the Chicago music scene and features carefully chosen and crafted tracks performed in distinctive Steve Miller Band fashion.
“With the continuing evolution of the music industry and all the new exciting opportunities that are available, I feel this is a perfect time to start a new record company and establish new innovative partnerships. I am looking forward to a long relationship with Roadrunner / Loud & Proud” says Miller of the new endeavor.
Early reaction from fans and industry insiders are comparing the album to Miller’s 1968 masterpiece SAILOR. BINGO!, will be the first of two albums that were recorded together as a complete body of work, the second of which will be offered next year via the new label partnership.
“After many years of discussion and sharing ideas, the time has finally arrived for Loud & Proud and Steve Miller to work together,” commented Loud & Proud President Tom Lipsky. “We are proud to be Steve’s global label partner and excited to be involved with this landmark project.”
The Steve Miller Band is one of the biggest selling recording, touring and catalog artists of all time, having sold more than 50 million albums worldwide throughout its career. SMB’s Greatest Hits 74-78 compilation reached prestigious Diamond Award certification with sales of more than 13 million units sold.
Roadrunner Records President Jonas Nachsin comments “Loud & Proud has been gaining serious momentum in the past few months and now boasts a substantial roster with the addition of the incredible Steve Miller Band. Roadrunner is thrilled to be marketing an artist of Steve’s legendary status along with our own diverse rock roster.”
BINGO! was co-produced by Andy Johns (Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, Van Halen), with artwork designed by the legendary Storm Thorgerson. These recordings feature longtime Steve Miller Band member Norton Buffalo, who sadly passed away in 2009.

Get ready for a new voice in rock with a lot of soul and even more heart. Singer/songwriter Eric Sage will release his debut album Redeem My Heart (Global Sonic Records) on April 20, 2010.
Sage a professional singer with a three-octave range has already had quite a career. The singer/songwriter sang back ups for Vince Neil of Motley Crüe. He was the runner up in a worldwide competition for the lead singer of one of Canada’s biggest acts Saga. He recently auditioned for Velvet Revolver and is now the lead singer for The Bay City Rollers featuring Ian Mitchell, with whom he travels the world performing. “Music is the most powerful form of expression,” Eric Sage explains. “It evokes emotion on every level. It is the soundtrack for my life. I honestly don’t feel I chose it, I think it chose me.”
The much-anticipated album was produced by Billboard chart topping producer Erik Isaacs. It features guest musicians drummer Randy Cooke (Mick Jagger, Five For Fighting, Kelly Clarkson), guitarist Doug Bossi (David Coverdale, Don Henley and Greg Bissonette), guitarist Jason Hook (Five Finger Death Punch, Alice Cooper, Vince Neil), and bassist, Lance Morrison (Don Henley, Rod Stewart, Alanis Morissette).
Love. Loss. Struggle. And so much more. Eric Sage will take you there. Stay tuned for touring plans in the near future…
