Following a massively successful amphitheater tour opening for FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH across the U.S. this past summer, emo rock outfit THE FUNERAL PORTRAIT will bring their theatrical ‘devotion ceremonies’ to audiences this fall at Aftershock Festival before heading out as direct support to Mongolian rock sensation THE HU.

THE FUNERAL PORTRAIT today, October 7, announce new headlining shows in between their dates with THE HU across North America throughout October and November, as well as a one-off show supporting Twiztid.

The album consists of 14 tracks of theatrical, dramatic, unapologetic, full-throated flair with guest appearances from Bert McCracken of The Used, Spencer Charnas of Ice Nine Kills, Danny Worsnop of Asking Alexandria, and Eva Under Fire. It was co-produced by Johnny Andrews (Three Days Grace, Motionless In White, Halestorm) and Lø Spirit (aka Josh Landry).

FRANKY PEREZ and his ALL NIGHTERS Announce Final Show of Red Rock Resort Residency, October 18

DATE: OCTOBER 7, 2024

FRANKY & THE ALL NIGHTERS
GEAR UP FOR FINAL PERFORMANCE
OF THEIR SEVEN-SHOW “HOT VEGAS NIGHTS” RESIDENCY AT RED ROCK CASINO RESORT
SHOW IS SET FOR OCTOBER 18 AT 9PM

Note: FRANKY is pictured front and center

Anyone who’s been attending the “Hot Vegas Nights” residency by FRANKY & THE ALL NIGHTERS since its launch this past June at Red Rock Casino Resort in Las Vegas knows that band frontman FRANKY PEREZ specializes in raising roofs. The charismatic singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and Vegas native FRANKY PEREZ—along with his eight accomplished musicians including ace guitarist Christian Brady, two background vocalists, and three dancers—are set to bring the house down again for the final and seventh show of their residency on Friday, October 18 at 9pm in the hotel’s Rocks Lounge showroom. Doors are at 8pm and admission is free.

“I’ve been doing this for a while, and one of the biggest lessons I’ve learned is to listen to and observe your audience,” says FRANKY. “You figure out what works and what doesn’t, then you trim the fat. Sometimes it requires tough decisions, like cutting songs you may love because they don’t fit the scope of a particular set. I enjoy it when a show takes you on an emotional journey, making you feel like you’re in it with the band for 90 minutes. I think we’ve achieved that, but we continue to tweak the show, as I firmly believe you can always do better—the audience deserves your best. On October 18, you can expect to see a band that wants nothing more than to blow you away! And we have some special guests who’ll be joining us.”

The FRANKY & THE ALL NIGHTERS lineup is:
Franky Perez – Vocals, Guitar, Percussion
Christian Brady – Guitar
Doc Ellis – Bass
Tim Sellars – Percussion
Mario Dawson – Drums
Ramiro Nasselo – Trumpet
Mark Trag – Saxophone
Kevin Mullinax – Trombone
Oscar Alejandro – Keys
Tina Cookson – Lead Dancer Choreographer
Veronika Shatsylo – Dancer
Sarah LeClear – Dancer
Cassie Stone Brady – Background Singer
Anne Martinez – Background Singer

FRANKY & THE ALL NIGHTERS pack serious musical heat. They’re fierce and passionate, with a pumping horn section, congas, showgirls, soulful rocking songs, and Latin music reflecting PEREZ’ roots.” I have a huge catalog of original music, and I’m very lucky that people want to hear it. ‘Run Down Nasty’ is an original that gets a huge crowd response, not only musically but also in its presentation, largely thanks to Tina Cookson, our lead dancer and choreographer. She outdid herself on that one, and it’s honestly something to be seen! As far as covers go, our take on ‘Whole Lotta Love’ is something else! Take Zep, Ike and Tina, Santana, and Tower of Power, throw them in a blender, pour it over ice, and you have our version. It’s a showstopper!”

FRANKY & THE ALL NIGHTERS have been filling the hotel’s showroom since the residency began on June 7, the same day they released their LIVE IN LAS VEGAS EP. It consists of rousing versions of four popular and diverse songs—“The Stroke” (Billy Squier), “Missionary Man” (Eurythmics), “Tennessee Whiskey” (Chris Stapleton), and “Whipping Post” (Allman Brothers Band)—that were recorded at Red Rock Casino Resort, along with the studio bonus cut “Hot Vegas Nights.” Listen to the EP HERE, watch the “Hot Vegas Nights” video HERE, and read more about the EP HERE.

MORE QUOTES FROM FRANKY PEREZ ABOUT THEIR
“HOT VEGAS NIGHTS” RESIDENCY

•In what ways has the band grown as a musical unit during the residency?

When you have a band this size, it can be challenging to manage, but somehow, we make it work. I’m very selective about who I bring on stage—not only do you have to be an exceptional player, but you also need to see the bigger picture and carry yourself as if you have no doubt that you’re part of something special. I love and believe in every player and dancer in this band. What you see on stage is genuine; everyone is here for the right reasons.

•The audience response has been ecstatic, with plenty of love from locals who know you as well as hotel guests. Can you shed some light on how that audience response has galvanized you and the band?

This is my hometown, where I cut my teeth as an entertainer. The fact that people still come out after all these years, and that the audience continues to grow, means the world to me. All the hard work and dedication is paying off! This residency has been a dream.

•Are you able to talk about what Franky & The All Nighters have coming up?

“We love playing Red Rock! It’s been my home base for a long time, and I will play there as long as they’ll have me. However, we also have our eyes set on a national audience and a showroom on the Strip!”

On the residency’s opening night, the audience included Eddie Trunk of SiriusXM, John Katsilometes of the Las Vegas Review Journal, singer Donovan Leitch, and guitarist Stoney Curtis.

“Not only is Franky a phenomenal singer and performer, but the entire band is stellar. A wide range of fantastic music played in a unique way only they can deliver. A truly great show and Vegas experience!”
—Eddie Trunk, TrunkNation SiriusXM Radio

“A Las Vegas native, the ever-rocking Franky Perez is the heart and soul of his city. He and his backing band are all-in, every night, fully committed to a gold-standard performance.”
—John Katsilometes, Las Vegas Review Journal

“It doesn’t get any more legit and ‘live’ than Franky Perez and The All Nighters! Every sensational, high-energy show takes the audience on an extraordinary musical journey from the downbeat to standing room encore. Franky Perez and The All Nighters are ‘Simply The Best!’”
–Candace Davis-Martin, Corporate Director of Entertainment / Station Casinos

ABOUT FRANKY PEREZ:

FRANKY PEREZ is a dynamic and engaging artist that can take any genre and make it his own. He was born to entertain, whether he’s performing one of his critically acclaimed originals, a moving ballad from the American songbook, or the latest in-demand pop hit. He delivers it all with an authenticity that will captivate any audience. Life should be celebrated. And any great celebration demands a hot spot and a stage dripping with unparalleled entertainment.

Buzzed-about UK band KillerStar is led by Rob Fleming (vocals, guitar, synths) and James Sedge (drums) which features an array of David Bowie’s most trusted collaborators. The band will make their U.S. concert debut on Saturday, November 2 at the Cutting Room in NYC. Watch a sizzle reel for the show HERE.

At this NYC show, Fleming and Sedge will perform with Bowie band alumni Mike Garson, Mark Plati, and Gerry Leonard. They will be joined by Dom Beken (from Nick Mason‘s Saucerful of Secrets) and Grammy Award winner and saxophonist Andy Snitzer as well as Ulrika Bergelind and Nicki Richards on backing vocals. Rob Fleming says, “We’re excited to be playing our first KillerStar USA live show in NYC. Whilst it’s a first for KillerStar, it’s a city where some of the band live and many of them have gigged before, like the David Bowie band alumni Mike Garson, Mark Plati, and Gerry Leonard, plus, Dom Beken with Nick Mason’s Saucerful of Secrets and of course New York locals Nicki Richards and Andy Snitzer. NYC is such a vibrant city with an amazing musical legacy, and we can’t wait to play the Cutting Room on Nov 2.”

KillerStar released their self-titled debut album on March 1, 2024, receiving critical acclaim with 4★ reviews in The Times, MOJO, and RNR Magazine and was named one of “The 12 most exciting acts in the world right now” by Q magazine. They followed it with a headlining packed-out album launch show (March 16) at London’s 100 Club. Almost one year later on March 8, 2025, they will return to The 100 Club and musicians joining Fleming and Sedge are Mike Garson, Mark Plati, Dom Beken, Kevin Armstrong, Ulrika Bergelind with guest Simon Bates.

Last month, the band rolled out the video for a new version of the track “Falling Through” from their upcoming KillerStar Reimagined album, due out October 11 on vinyl and digitally. “The songs on the album are a mix of quite radical new versions of the original album and remixes, for which Mark Plati did much of the production work,” says band co-founder Rob Fleming. Watch the video, directed and shot by Laura Lynn Petrick HERE. Read the press release on the KillerStar Reimagined album HERE.

KillerStar express timeless ‘70s musicianship and art-rock invention through a contemporary prism, highlighted by the singles “Got Me All Wrong,” “Falling Through,” You’re A Chameleon and “Should’ve Known Better.” The band was formed by Fleming and Sedge to capture a sound that they felt was missing: one that linked the current resurgence of psychedelia, the contemporary indie and alternative scenes, and the primal rush of early ‘70s rock ‘n’ roll. With songs exuding gritty rock ‘n’ roll and time-honoured glamour, the record was full written and arranged by Rob and James before being completed by some suitably top tier collaborators. Mixing was provided by Dave Eringa, best known for his long-term creative connection with Manic Street Preachers, while digital mastering was provided by Joe La Porta and vinyl mastered by Miles Showell at Abbey Road. The album is available HERE on limited edition 180-gram gold vinyl, black vinyl, CD and digital formats.

ROSS VALORY has just debuted a performance video series—via the original Journey bassist and songwriter’s YouTube channel—with a cover of Jimmy Smith’s “Root Down.” Watch the “Root Down” performance HERE.

The series was filmed at ROSS’ Northern California studio and features VALORY, bass; Bobby Strickland, sax; Paul Spina, drums; Eric Levy, keyboards; and Vernon “Ice” Black, guitar, vocals. This initial video will be followed by new ones every Thursday for the next three weeks.

“Until I play out, I’m Playing In!” ROSS says when asked if he’ll be doing live shows.

Earlier this year, VALORY released his debut solo album ALL OF THE ABOVE (OID Music). Produced by VALORY and co-produced by Eric Levy and Jacob Stowe, the nine tracks on the album represent the full maturity of VALORY’s musical gifts, cutting a broad swath through the instrumental territory the music travels. He plays keyboards, guitar, and, of course, many basses in a display of cultivated virtuosity across a palette far broader than could be found in his work with Journey.

He is stepping out from behind his bass and, for the first time in his more than half-century as a professional musician, representing his vision and his compositions. The album has been accompanied by five videos so far, all directed by Michael Cotton: “Tomland” (the album’s hypnotic first single), “Wild Kingdom (with its Latin-fired intensity), and “Windmill” (defined by its Brazilian flair), his interpretation of War’s classic cruising anthem “Low Rider” and “Nightflower” (a pastoral ribbon of music featuring Journey founding member George Tickner and Steve Roseman of Cold Blood).

Genre-blending musician CORY MARKS will release his second full-length album, SORRY FOR NOTHING, on December 6 via Better Noise Music. An unapologetic double-barreled blast of 13 songs, equally divided between roots country and arena-rock, marks the follow-up to his acclaimed debut album, Who I Am. Today, October 4, CORY MARKS showcases his dual musicality with two new track releases. “Fast As I Can” is an exciting, feel-good country track with a fun, foot-stomping chorus that will have you hooked and singing along to every word. “Whiskey For Sale” is a perfect blend of bluegrass, country, and a heavy rock chorus, narrating a love story that has taken a turn. Stream “Fast As I Can” HERE and “Whiskey For Sale” HERE.

“The record is really who I am,” says CORY MARKS. “The title says it all. I love rock and I love country. It’s a kick in the ass, the good, the bad and the ugly, the ups and downs of life, adding that little bit of fuel to the fire to keep you fighting, to keep your eye on the prize. There are songs for partying, songs to look back on life and have a good cry, love songs…something for everyone.”

Produced by longtime collaborator Kevin Churko (Shania Twain, Ozzy Osbourne, Five Finger Death Punch, Papa Roach), Kile Odell (Nita Strauss, David Draiman), and Andrew Baylis (Jelly Roll, Brantley Gilbert), SORRY FOR NOTHING is highlighted by guest appearances from Sully Erna (Godsmack), Mick Mars (Mötley Crüe), Travis Tritt, and DL (Bad Wolves). Pre-orders it now on CD or digital download at https://corymarks.ffm.to/sfn.

For us, this tour represents an important milestone for the Mongolian music industry and a historical step towards world stage. As a special thank you, and out of huge respect as fans of the band, we covered their legendary song ‘The Trooper’ and are happy to be sharing that with you ahead of this tour!”
