Robin Zander “Solo” record Release in May!

The greatest singer in rock has a new album coming out! Robin Zander recorded a bunch of songs he wrote alongwith some classics.

From Cheap Trick’s Website:

What do a handful of Nashville’s premiere session players, the singer from Cheap Trick, the drummer from Neil Young & The Bluenotes, the Warren Brothers, Producer Chris Lindsey, Tim McGraw’s recording team, Nashville’s newest star, Sarah Buxton, Executive Producer Bill Edwards and Big 3 records have in common?

COUNTRYSIDE BLVD.
That’s the title of the record.

COUNTRYSIDE
That’s the name of the band.

This unique group of musicians, songwriters, and singers gathered in Nashville last year and recorded 12 songs. In that place and time they have captured a fresh country sound with a combination of musical styles.

The songs were written and sung by Robin Zander along with a few classics.  The album features Sarah Buxton, Tom Bukovac, Pat Buchanan, Chad Cromwell, J.T. Corenflos, Dan Dugmore, Tim Lauer, Glen Worf, Larry Franklin, Perry Coleman, Robin T. Zander and the Countryside Singers.

“I’m hopeful that when people discover this album that it’s as fun to listen to as it was to record” states Sara Buxton.

“I’ve always wanted to do a record in Nashville and this is it.” says Robin Zander, “To have these musicians of this caliber record my songs for COUNTRYSIDE BLVD was one experience I won’t soon forget. Thanks to all for doing one hell of a record.”

Michael Monroe Joined by Nasty Suicide Onstage in Helsinki

Michael Monroe was joined onstage last night in Helsinki, Finland by original Hanoi Rocks guitarist Nasty Suicide. He joined the band onstage for a rocking version of The Stooges’ I Feel Alright(1970). If I’m not mistaken, this is the first time they’ve played together onstage since Demolition 23. Correct me if I’m wrong. If you have not seen Michael Monroe’s band, which consists of Ginger (Wildhearts) on guitar, Steve Conte(NY Dolls) on guitar, Sam Yaffa(NY Dolls, Hanoi Rocks, Jetboy) on bass and Karl Rockfist (CHELSEA SMILES, DANZIG) on drums, you are missing one of the best live rock shows you will see all year.
