#NEWS Joe Bonamassa heads to ‘Trouble Town’. New video taken from ‘Live At Radio City Music Hall’

Joe Bonamassa has just issued a new video for the song ‘Trouble Town’, taken from his upcoming live album ‘Live At Radio City Music Hall’ released 2nd October via Provogue/Mascot Label Group. The live concert will be released on DVD+CD, Blu-ray+CD, and 180 gram 2LP vinyl with free MP3 download code.

Check out the video of ‘Trouble Town’ here:

https://youtu.be/-CrtB7iUy1A

The live release was filmed over his two sold out shows on 23rd and 24th January 2015 at the iconic Radio City Music Hall  in the heart of New York City.  It’s the largest and most iconic music theatre in the world.  Joe’s father would take Joe to Radio City as a boy to see shows in the city, and it had forever been his dream venue to play as a musician.

jbnycThe set features over 75 minutes of music, two newly recorded songs, nine unreleased live tracks, over 2.5 hours of live footage, a special 45-minute behind-the-scenes featurette, a 40-page collector’s book with exclusive photos, and a sneak peek into Bonamassa’s childhood home and musical heritage. Everything is presented in a beautifully designed package.

With this career-defining moment, Bonamassa joined hundreds of legendary entertainers who have graced the same stage, from Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Linda Ronstadt, Liberace, Sammy Davis, Jr., Ray Charles and BB King to Bette Midler, Stevie Wonder, Tony Bennett, Billy Crystal, The Eurythmics, Barry Manilow, Liza Minnelli, Sting, and many others. Bonamassa couldn’t be more thrilled, and more humbled, to be in the company of these icons.

rcmh“I am extremely honored by a lot of things in my career, but honestly, as a born New Yorker, getting the opportunity to play the world’s premier concert theater will always be something I look back on and cherish. Thank you to the ten thousand people that came out over those two nights. It was a great honor,” said Bonamassa.

Live At Radio City Music Hall dovetails Joe Bonamassa’s 8- date October 2015 UK tour. Tickets are available from www.eventim.co.uk or 0844 493 6666.

#NEWS “Get down and get with it!” Motor Sister announce UK Tour in 2016

We’re struggling to contain our excitement about this tbh…MOTOR SISTER have just announced their first ever UK tour! 

motor sister uk tourMOTOR SISTER who feature Mother Superior founder, guitarist, and vocalist Jim Wilson fronting the band, with Anthrax’s Scott Ian on guitar, Pearl Aday on backing vocals, Joey Vera on bass, and John Tempesta on drums will hit the UK for the first time ever in January 2016 to play ten in-your-face shows. And they can’t wait:

Jim Wilson – “Motor Sister in the UK! Get down and get with it!”
Scott Ian – “Motor Sister was born at a crazy party in the jam room at our house, just the five of us rocking our asses off. And now we get to bring that party to the UK!!! It’s a privilege my friends! See you soon.
Pearl Aday – “We love the UK. No better place to start bringing Motor Sister to the world. We’ll see you there, friends! Cheers, love, rock.”

Check out the video for “Beg, Borrow, Steal” here:

15th SHEFFIELD – Corporation
16th LONDON – Underworld

Support will come from JARED JAMES NICHOLS who recently release his debut album Old Glory And The Wild Revival and opening will be The Bastard Sons.

motor sister rideMOTOR SISTER was originally assembled to jam for Scott Ian’s fiftieth birthday party. Thanks to Scott’s wife Pearl Aday, who has been working on her solo career with Mother Superior front man Jim Wilson for years, all it took was a quick phone call and the stage was literally set for Scott’s dream gig.

Enthralled at the idea of making a record of his favorite Mother Superior songs, Ian emailed producer Jay Ruston (Anthrax, Steel Panther) and asked if he thought it was possible to recapture the same spontaneous energy MOTOR SISTER generated at their makeshift gig, and if an album could be recorded quickly.

Ride was released to great acclaim earlier this year on Metal Blade Records and debuted on the Billboard charts after its first week of release. The album cracked the top 10 with the #9 position on the Billboard New Artist (Heatseekers) chart.

“All you really need to know about Ride is that it kicks a massive amount of ass” Revolver Magazine
“The retro rock and roll band that you didn’t even know you were missing in your life until right now!” MetalInjection.net
“This is kick ass classic sounding hard rock! Blazing guitars, great vocals and songs! Everything I love most about hard rock music in one killer album.” Eddie Trunk
