AMERICA “Ride On” In 2024 With Nationwide Tour; Band To Release The Live Album ‘America – Live From The Hollywood Bowl 1975’ on 9/6

DATE: AUGUST 27, 2024

FROM: MITCH SCHNEIDER/ANDREA FAULK

AMERICA
“RIDE ON” IN 2024
WITH NATIONWIDE TOUR

BAND TO RELEASE THE LIVE ALBUM
‘AMERICA – LIVE FROM THE HOLLYWOOD BOWL 1975’
VIA PRIMARY WAVE MUSIC, DISTRIBUTED BY SUN RECORDS,
ON SEPTEMBER 6

The iconic multi-platinum-selling group AMERICA are celebrating their 54^th anniversary with a series of national tour dates in 2024. Billed as the “Ride On Tour 2024,” it launched July 18 in Minneapolis and will continue throughout the year. Known for their timeless magic and powerful performances, the Grammy Award-winning perennial classic-rock favorite will draw on their deep catalog of hits including signature song “A Horse With No Name,” a Number One smash on Billboard’s Hot 100 in 1972. Tickets are on sale now HERE.

Meanwhile, AMERICA will release a new live album, America – Live From The Hollywood Bowl 1975 (Primary Wave Music; distributed by Sun Records), on September 6. Previously available as a Record Store Day exclusive, this album features never-before-heard recordings of their iconic 1975 performance backed by a symphony conducted by the legendary George Martin and will now be widely released on CD, a new red vinyl variant, and digitally for the first time ever. This extraordinary performance has been preserved in never-before-heard tapes that were recently restored and remastered for this special release.

On their way to becoming a global household name, AMERICA‘s journey found them exploring a wide variety of musical terrain. Their best-known tunes, which also include “I Need You,” “Ventura Highway,” “Don’t Cross The River,” “Tin Man,” “Lonely People,” and “Sister Golden Hair,” were cornerstones of 1970’s Top 40 and FM rock radio. Yet beyond their impressive catalog of hits, listeners would discover there was always much more to AMERICA than surface perceptions. The combination of melodic pop rock and folk-jazz elements, slinky Latin-leaning rhythms and impressionistic lyric imagery contrasted well with other more traditional country-rock leanings and highly personal lyrics.

AMERICA‘s albums–six certified gold and/or platinum, with their first greatest hits collection, History, hitting four plus million in sales–displayed a fuller range of the trio’s talents than did their singles. Their material encompassed an ambitious artistic swath; from effects-laden rockers to oddball medleys to soul-bearing ballads, AMERICA displayed a flawless blend of disparate genres and styles as wide-open as the great American plains.

Enjoying massive success early in their career, AMERICA earned their stripes as musical soldiers on the battlefield amidst the excess, craziness, and chaos of the 70’s. The trio won the Grammy for Best New Artist in 1972 and began working with George Martin and Geoff Emerick in 1974. This successful team went on to record seven albums and several Top Ten hits, including “Tin Man,” “Sister Golden Hair” and “Lonely People.”

Their growth as singers, songwriters and musicians has continued into the present day as illustrated by landmark releases such as 2000’s Highway 3-disc box set, 2002’s Holiday Harmony, an album comprised of seasonal classics and live showcases, 2007’s Here & Now, 2009’s Live In Concert: Wildwood Springs, 2011’s Back Pages, and 2015’s Lost And Found and America: Archives Vol. 1.

In 2020, the band released their ultimate 8-disc anniversary box set, Half Century (America Records), and streamed their concert special America–Live at the London Palladium for the very first time (it is commercially available as a DVD and CD). 2020 also saw the release of the book “America, the Band, An Authorized Biography” by journalist Jude Warne. She weaves original interviews with the band and many others into a dynamic cultural history of AMERICA, the band, and America, the nation. Billy Bob Thornton wrote the foreword.

As further testament to the band’s staying power and influence, AMERICA’s recordings have been licensed for a multitude of placements in films (including American Hustle, The Nice Guys, The Last Unicorn and Girl Most Likely), television shows (among them The Sopranos, Friends, Breaking Bad and Saturday Night Live) and video games (including Grand Theft Auto). See their Soundtrack credits on IMDB here: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2085638/

From their formative years, AMERICA has been a band capable of transcending borders with its uplifting music and positive message. Embracing a rainbow of divergent cultures, America’s audiences continue to grow, comprising a loyal legion of first, second and third generation fans, all bearing testament to the group’s enduring appeal.

“We are beyond super stoked for you to check out the new ‘(Hold On) To The DREam EDIT’ Video! This song is becoming completely iconic in our live set! Enjoy the new version of video–which is similar to the previous one–just a little more finished! I am overjoyed to give you all a fresh look and listen to this song which completely mesmerizes the crowd and the band live every night! Looking forward to seeing you all Bach on the Road! We will give you a 100% LIVE rock ‘n’ roll show no tapes no fakes all real all the time cuz that’s the only way we know how to do it! Come and see a real rock ‘n’ roll show while it still exists!”

SEBASTIAN’s fall dates kick off October 4 in Portland, with dates in the U.S., including two shows at The Whisky in Los Angeles, plus 16 dates in his native Canada (see full itinerary below).

“The new album CHILD WITHIN tHE MAN is the rock ‘n’ roll gift that keeps on giving!” BACH says. “We are so excited to take this music across Canada and the USA this fall 2024! In addition to songs from the new record we will also be Celebrating the 35th Anniversary of the first record Skid Row 1989 – 2024!”

Here’s some feedback of SEBASTIAN BACH’s summer 2024 shows:

“Sebastian Bach’s still got it… Bach came out swinging with Child Within the Man lead single ‘What Do I Got to Lose?,’ a vintage metal anthem that worked the audience into a fast frenzy… It was a blast, just like the rest of his set — because Bach has never forgotten the long-lost art of having fun at a rock show. It’s difficult not to share his enthusiasm when he swings his microphone above his head or pounds the air like a boxer. Bach has been at this for nearly four decades now, and he remains a proverbial defender of the faith with the chops to back it up. The times have changed, but his conviction has not — and if you squint your eyes and listen close during the opening scream of ‘Youth Gone Wild,’ you can still catch a glimpse of the child within the man.”
— Bryan Rolli, Ultimate Classic Rock, 6/24/24 (on 6/23 San Antonio, TX Show)

“Knowing everyone there could probably recite every verse, Bach let the crowd sing the first couple of verses…but when he kicked into the chorus it was incredible how great his voice sounded. Scratch that! Not only great, but a voice that kicks ass…If there was any doubt about how the new tunes or even Sebastian Bach’s pipes they were quickly put to rest.”
–David LaMason, ParkLife DC, 5/22/24 (on 5/19 Baltimore, MD Show)

“Rounding out the band were bassist Clay Eubank and guitarist Brody DeRozie. These guys put on a solid show backing one of the greatest vocalists of our time in Sebastian Bach. Don’t pass up seeing this show if it comes to your neck of the woods.”
–Joseph Suto, Rock Show Critique, 5/19/24 (on 5/17 Warren, OH Show)

“On a sultry mid-summer night at the end of June, Sebastian Bach, the iconic frontman of 80s Metal band Skid Row, took the stage at the Majestic Ventura Theater in Ventura, CA, for a night of electrifying rock…Sebastian Bach and his band took the stage…for an explosive 16 song set, that literally rattled the walls of the vintage era theater…The show was full of nostalgic MTV-era classic rock, a genre that dominated the music scene in the 1980s and early 1990s. This style, characterized by its catchy melodies, anthemic choruses, and guitar-driven sound, was showcased in Bach’s performance. Despite the nostalgic vibe, the show also highlighted Bach’s incredible vocal skills, which remain as vibrant and powerful as ever.”
–L. Paul Mann, Wildfire Music, 7/22/24 (on 6/26 Ventura, CA Show)

CHILD WITHIN tHE MAN was recorded in Orlando, Florida; produced and mixed by Baskette; engineered by Jef Moll, assistant engineered by Josh Saldate; and mastered by Robert Ludwig/Gateway Mastering. BACH wrote or co-wrote all the album’s 11 tracks and sang all lead and backing vocals. CHILD WITHIN tHE MAN features guest appearances from John 5, Steve Stevens, and Orianthi—who all co-wrote their respective tracks with BACH—and two tracks co-written with Myles Kennedy (“What Do I Got to Lose?” and “To Live Again’); Devin Bronson on guitars, Todd Kerns (bass) and Jeremy Coulson (drums) round out the players on the album. It has yielded four singles, all of which have impacted the rock charts: Freedom,” “What Do I Got To Lose?,” “Everybody Bleeds,” and “(Hold On) To The Dream.”

The artwork for CHILD WITHIN tHE MAN holds special meaning since it was designed by BACH’s father, noted visual artist David Bierk. “This album artwork was started in 1978 and finished in 2024!” SEBASTIAN says.

MARK WEISS Talks About His Classic Photos of Ozzy Osbourne, Lemmy Kilmister, and Joan Jett

DATE: AUGUST 19, 2024

FROM: MITCH SCHNEIDER/ANDREA FAULK, SRO PR

PHOTOGRAPHER MARK WEISS
TALKS ABOUT HIS CLASSIC PHOTOGRAPHS OF
OZZY OSBOURNE, LEMMY KILMISTER, AND JOAN JETT
TO BE DISPLAYED AT THE “A MOMENT IN TIME”
EXHIBITION THIS SEPTEMBER IN LOS ANGELES
PAIRED WITH BILLY MORRISON’S UNIQUE CANVAS PAINTINGS

X5 PODCAST AND MOTOR CARS LA
PRESENT
“A MOMENT IN TIME”
BILLY MORRISON X MARK WEISS:
A COLLECTION OF ART AND PHOTOGRAPHY
BASED ON THE IMAGES OF MARK WEISS

PUBLIC OPENING AT MOTOR CARS LOS ANGELES SHOWROOM
SET FOR SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 21,
TO BE PRECEDED BY VIP PREVIEW ON SEPTEMBER 19
AND RSVP PARTY ON SEPTEMBER 20

World-renowned photographer MARK “WEISSGUY” WEISS talks below about his iconic photographs of Ozzy Osbourne, Lemmy Kilmister, and Joan Jett. These photographs will be presented—paired with recording artist and contemporary fine artist BILLY MORRISON’s unique canvas paintings of them—for one weekend only: September 19, 20, and 21 at the iconic Motor Cars LA Showroom in Hollywood, CA. Billed as “A Moment In Time,” the event is presented by X5 Podcast and Motor Cars LA. See the event details below.

The exhibition will feature 12 pieces from Morrison, and high-end editions of the same photographs from Weiss, with a special 13th painting and prints going to support mental health, suicide prevention and trauma counseling through the Above Ground charity spearheaded by Morrison and Dave Navarro, Jane’s Addiction’s guitarist. Below are Weiss’ photographs of Ozzy Osbourne, Lemmy Kilmister, and Joan Jett, along with Morrison’s paintings of them.

“Ozzy was always game for my out-of-the-box ideas. Our first shoot together was for the cover of Circus magazine in 1981, where I had him wear a pink tutu. From there, we pushed the envelope with every session, each one more outrageous than the last.

When Sharon asked me to do a shoot that would get him noticed in the magazines, Faces magazine agreed to put Ozzy on the cover, but it had to be something over the top. I came up with a twist on his album Diary of a Madman. Since it was the May issue, I thought, why not go with a Mother’s Day theme? We dressed Ozzy as a housewife, and the cover featured the headline “Diary of a Mad Housewife.” The photo ironing his daughter Aimee, ended up as a gatefold in the magazine and stirred quite a reaction—some people even thought the iron was plugged in!”

“I captured this photo of Lemmy Kilmister of Motörhead, just moments before taking the stage at the Beacon Theatre in New York City during the ‘No Remorse Tour’ in 1984. Lemmy was a complex figure to decipher—he was difficult to read. His intimidating presence was undeniable, but if you could see beyond that and stand your ground, you’d earn his respect.

For a photographer, it’s crucial to gain the artist’s trust and be welcomed into their world, capturing moments that tell a deeper story—a time stamp of an era. I consider it a privilege when musicians allow me into their space. My approach is to remain unassuming, hoping to capture that magical moment where the connection between artist and photographer becomes genuine.

With Lemmy, I sought sincerity and authenticity—qualities I believe are most evident in the eyes.”

Joan Jett, 1980, Mount Vernon, New York

“I was in high school when I first heard about The Runaways. At the time, I was sneaking my camera into concerts and selling photos outside Madison Square Garden and out of my high school locker for a buck each. After The Runaways disbanded, Joan Jett released her debut album Bad Reputation in 1980.

I was 20 years old, living at my great-aunt’s house in NYC while attending the School of Visual Arts. Eager to expand beyond live photography, I started shooting studio photos of local bands to gain experience. I was also a staff photographer at Circus magazine, where I covered live shows. My role at Circus gave me valuable access to publicists and managers.

I met Joan through Carol Kaye, a publicist who had arranged photo passes for me to shoot bands like Aerosmith and Ted Nugent. When Carol mentioned she was helping Joan, I jumped at the chance to ask her to set up a photo shoot. Bad Reputation was gaining momentum, and I had always dreamed of photographing The Runaways.

On December 16, 1980, I went to a club called the Left Bank in Mount Vernon, NY. I taped up a bedsheet that I used as a backdrop and waited for the band to go to the stage. I had a roll of film loaded and ready to go. I took a few photos with her band the Blackhearts along with manager Kenny Laguna and his wife Meryl. Joan then picked up her guitar, and I kept shooting until the film ran out. When you capture that perfect moment, you just know it. For this shoot, frame 28 was the one. It’s fascinating how a single image can tell an entire story, while a contact sheet reveals the full narrative.”

The public viewing for “A Moment In Time” is set for September 21, to be preceded by the VIP Preview on September 19, and RSVP Party and Live X5 Podcast on September 20 which will feature a Q+A from both artists and an intimate acoustic performance from Morrison. There will be a complete livestream of the whole weekend from the X5 Podcast team. At this event, Rock N Roll and Fine Art collide with multi-million-dollar supercars in the entertainment capital of the world.

BILLY MORRISON has developed successful careers in multiple genres, as a rock guitarist (with Billy Idol for the past 15 years), a solo recording artist, and as a contemporary fine artist. Self-study and experimentation are the essence of Morrison’s process, working with oil paints and spray in a Warhol-esque aesthetic. Morrison’s iconic style mimics the effects of multilayered screen printing through a street art approach with the use of stencils.

MARK “WEISSGUY” WEISS is a world-renowned photographer who has traveled the globe photographing legends from Van Halen, Ozzy Osbourne, Aerosmith, and Mötley Crüe to Metallica, Guns N’ Roses, Bon Jovi, and KISS. Weiss’ inimitable photographs helped craft the visual imagery of rock and metal in the 1980s. His best-selling and critically acclaimed 2020 book “The Decade That Rocked” is captured through the lens of someone who lived and breathed the 80’s in all its grit and glory.

FROM: MARCEE RONDAN/MITCH SCHNEIDER

OZZY OSBOURNE
TALKS ABOUT HIS INDUCTION INTO
THE 2024 ROCK & ROLL HALL OF FAME

Following OZZY OSBOURNE’s two (2) Grammy Awards in 2023 for “Best Rock Album” (his first-ever win in the category) and “Best Metal Performance” from his hugely successful and critically acclaimed PATIENT NUMBER 9 album (Epic Records) and a recent #1-charting Active Rock Song “Crack Cocaine”—a collaboration with Billy Morrison and Steve Stevens —he is now setting his sights on the 2024 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction. OSBOURNE has earned a solo induction for his nearly six decade career in music (Black Sabbath was inducted in 2006). This honor makes OZZY one of a handful of artists with multiple inductions into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

“It’s still hard to believe I’m about to be a two-time inductee into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame,” OZZY says. “I’m really looking forward to attending (the induction ceremony in Cleveland this October. More importantly, I am so blessed to have had such an incredible career with amazing fans who have stuck by me through thick and thin over the years.”

EVA UNDER FIRE, led by powerhouse vocalist EVA MARIE, surprised audience members at Pine Knob Music Theatre in Clarkston, MI last Thursday night, August 8, by joining iconic rock outfit 30 Seconds To Mars on stage during their “Seasons Tour.” EVA sang alongside vocalist Jared Leto during the performance of their groundbreaking Double-Platinum hit single, “The Kill.” EVA UNDER FIRE won an online contest held by 30 Seconds To Mars earlier this year after submitting their shattering rendition of “The Kill” from a recent taping at Sirius XM’s NYC studios. Watch EVA and 30 Seconds To Mars performance streaming below or via YouTube HERE.

“Singing ‘The Kill’ with 30 Seconds To Mars meant the world to me,” exclaims EVA. “30 Seconds To Mars is one of the bands I listened to when I was first discovering my love for rock music. To be up there on a massive stage with the man himself screaming my 2004 emo anthem was a nod to my younger self, like ‘we made it!’ The band’s team was very kind. My bandmates were all able to come and support me. It was an incredible moment.”

Lauded as one of SIRIUS XM’s 2023 “Ones To Watch,” EVA UNDER FIRE are currently recording the follow-up to their acclaimed 2022 debut album LOVE, DRUGS & MISERY (Better Noise Music). Its deluxe version, which includes the Top 20 Active Rock radio-charting single “Unstoppable” featuring country/rock artist Cory Marks, was released in 2023 followed by a first pressing of the original record on vinyl. Stream/download LOVE, DRUGS & MISERY (DELUXE) HERE.

EVA UNDER FIRE have toured across the globe with acts including Bush, Bad Wolves, Pop Evil, Skillet, and Finger Eleven while also appearing at some of rock’s biggest festivals (Aftershock, Inkcarceration, Rock Fest). They will next hit the stage at Rocklahoma on August 30.

EVA UNDER FIRE substantially expanded their fanbase following Eva’s featured appearance in the horror-thriller The Retaliators (Better Noise Films) and the inclusion of their single “Blow (ft. Spencer Charnas of Ice Nine Kills)” on the film’s soundtrack. Their single, “Heroin(e),” was also featured on the soundtrack for the 2020 film Sno Babies (Better Noise Films) which saw astonishing results and to date has over 26 million streams.
