Boston horror-inspired metal band ICE NINE KILLS have successfully raised over $54,000 (AUD) following an overwhelming response to their limited-edition exclusive t-shirt sale that took place earlier this month to help aid the Australian wildfire relief efforts. Profits from the sale are being donated equally between Australia Zoo’s Wildlife Warriors––a non-profit organization founded by the late Steve Irwin and his wife, Terri Irwin, to aid in the protection of injured, threatened or endangered wildlife-and the Australian Red Cross Disaster Relief and Recovery.

ICE NINE KILLS recently made their inaugural appearance in Australia in December of last year as part of the Good Things Festival (Sydney), along with a handful of headlining gigs in Brisbane and Melbourne.

For over a decade, ICE NINE KILLS has built a thrilling new world for their band and their growing legion of fans with their horror-inspired soundtracks and theatrical live performances which invoke the characters in the horror movies they allude to. The band achieved a career highlight with their hit single “A Grave Mistake” landing in the Top 10 Active Mainstream Rock Radio charts, in addition to be named as one of SiriusXM’s ‘Future Five’ Breakthrough Artists of 2019. Following a world tour in support of their critically acclaimed 2018 effort via Fearless Records which has surpassed 100,000 sales to date, ICE NINE KILLS released The Silver Scream: Final Cut last October which features guest appearances from iconic figures in both the metal and horror world alike, along with their own full-length horror feature film starring vocalist Spencer Charnas. The band will continue to tour across North America and the UK/EU throughout 2020 alongside acts includingPapa Roach, Hollywood Undead, Five Finger Death Punch and I Prevail and at several of the largest U.S. rock festivals.

“You cannot talk about rock in the 1970s without talking about Grand Funk Railroad!”

–David Fricke, Rolling Stone Magazine

GRAND FUNK RAILROAD–the legendary rock & roll powerhouse–is extremely excited to be touring in 2020 and marking a 51-year milestone. After playing to millions of fans on the band’s tours from 1996 to 2019, Grand Funk‘s 2020 “Some Kind Of Wonderful Tour” will continue to reach both new and long-time fans. Check the band’s website for the preliminary dates for Grand Funk‘s 2020 “Some Kind Of Wonderful Tour” with more to be announced: https://www.grandfunkrailroad.com/tour.html

Named in honor of their 1975 Billboard pop smash, the 40-date “Some Kind Of Wonderful Tour” will start in Lincoln, Rhode Island on February 8. Originating from Flint, Michigan in 1969, this top-selling American rock group of the 70’s is “Comin’ To Your Town To Help You Party It Down.” They’ve achieved 13 gold and 10 platinum records with record sales exceeding 25 million copies sold worldwide. Watch the tour trailer here and read a Q&A with the band’s Don Brewer below.

Known as “The American Band,” the high-energy five-piece group GRAND FUNK RAILROAD includes original founding members Don Brewer (vocals and drums, writer and singer of the multi-million selling hit, “We’re An American Band”) and bassist Mel Schacher, “The God of Thunder.” Joining Don and Mel are true “All Stars.” Singer Max Carl is a rock veteran from 38 Special. Max penned and sang 38’s biggest hit “Second Chance” and was co-founder of California’s legendary Jack Mack and the Heart Attack. Don refers to Max as “the best blue-eyed soul singer on the planet.” Lead guitarist Bruce Kulick is best known for his 12 years with KISS and has credits with Michael Bolton, Meatloaf and Billy Squier. (KISS members Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley were influenced early on by Grand Funk.) Keyboardist Tim Cashion has a master’s degree in music from the University of Miami. Affectionately called “Dr. Tim,” his credits include stints with Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band and English soul man Robert Palmer.

Grand Funk laid the groundwork for such bands as Foreigner, Journey, Van Halen and Bon Jovi with its signature hard driving sound, soulful vocals, muscular instrumentation and forceful pop melodies. The fact that Grand Funk‘s legacy still reigns over the Classic Rock landscape 50 years after is a testament to the group’s influence and staying power. Mega-hits “We’re An American Band,” “I’m Your Captain/Closer to Home,” “Locomotion,” and “Some Kind Of Wonderful” still receive continuous airplay on Classic Rock radio. “We’re An American Band” has received notoriety in recent years being used in movie soundtracks and in television/radio advertising. The huge hit was featured in a General Motors national TV ad campaign and in Disney’s animated feature film The Country Bears. “We’re An American Band” was featured in the Cuba Gooding Jr. film Radio, and in the swash buckler Sahara starring Matthew McConaughey.

Internationally acclaimed Grand Funk has toured the world, selling out in the U.S., Canada, Europe, Japan and South America. A 1971 performance at New York’s Shea Stadium sold out faster than the Beatles. The group’s widespread appeal is also evident in its prestigious recording achievements. Over their career, Grand Funk has had 19 charted singles, 8 Top 40 hits and two Number One singles (“We’re An American Band” and “Locomotion,” both selling more than one million each). The group has now accumulated 13 gold and 10 platinum records with record sales exceeding 25 million copies sold worldwide. The most recent gold CD award was presented to the band for their greatest hits package Grand Funk Railroad the Collectors Series.

The multi-talented band carries on the tradition of Grand Funk hits and creates a new chapter in the legacy of Grand Funk Railroad. GFR drew 25,000 people to their Molson Canal Series Concert outside Buffalo, 20,000 in Albany, New York, and 20,000 fans to downtown Orlando, Florida. EMI/Capitol (Universal Music) released a new Grand Funk Greatest Hits package that includes a bonus DVD of rare concert footage. Grand Funk Railroad’s 2019 “50 Years Of Funk Tour” was a huge success and now, with the group’s 2020 “Some Kind Of Wonderful Tour,” seasoned Grand Funk lovers and contemporary rock fans discovering the group for the first time will be able to celebrate 50 Years of Funk with Grand Funk Railroad.

Q&A with Don Brewer:

Have any rituals before hitting the stage?

We always do a “Team Huddle” right before taking the stage and I try to come up with something inspiring or funny to say to the guys.

Is there one item that you always bring on tour to remind you of home?

I always carry photos of my wife and daughters and grandkids.

What do you feel have been the band’s main contributions to music?

Grand Funk has always been about “music with feel.” Songs and performances are uplifting and we prefer to have people in the audience smiling and on their feet.

What has surprised you most in your career?

I started out putting together bands in the basement of my parents’ home in Swartz Creek, Michigan and having my first band “The Red Devils” when I was 11 years old. My next band “The Jazzmasters” turned into “The Pack,” “Terry Knight and The Pack,” “The Fabulous Pack,” and that band became “Grand Funk Railroad.” I’m 71 years old and still playing in a band. SURPRISE!

Can you describe your best gig ever?

Shea Stadium in 1971. Truly a Rock & Roll Fantasy.

And your worst one?

No such thing.

What career advice would you give now to your younger self?

Keep Going! You’ll Make It!

ANDREW WATT, DUFF MCKAGAN AND CHAD SMITH

SPECIAL GUESTS INCLUDE ELTON JOHN, POST MALONE,

SLASH AND TOM MORELLO

ORDINARY MAN AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER

FRIDAY, JANUARY 10, 2020

“There’s a line in ‘Ordinary Man’ where I sing,

‘I don’t want to die an ordinary man,’

which I don’t think I will,”

OZZY says with a laugh

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee and Grammy®-winning singer and songwriter OZZY OSBOURNE has set Friday, February 21 as the release date for his new ORDINARY MAN album. Marking his first new solo music in almost 10 years, the album has been preceded by the release of two singles, the title #1 rock track “Under The Graveyard,” which was followed by “Straight To Hell” featuring Guns N’ Roses guitarist Slash (watch the video here). The album’s track will be available instantly with any pre-order of the album. Pre-order the album here.

ORDINARY MAN will be available as a standard CD, deluxe CD, black vinyl, deluxe gatefold swirl color vinyl, picture disc and digital album. In addition, all physical copies of the album will include a unique code that will allow the purchaser to enter a sweepstakes for a chance to win one of over 300 OZZY prizes (including an official OZZY laminate to get into any show on the 2020 “NO MORE TOURS 2,” meet and greets with OZZY, a gift certificate to the OZZY global store and much more!) All details on the sweepstakes can be found at www.ozzy.com.

“It was a lot of fun to do though it’s a lot different from my other albums,” OZZY says of the album. “We recorded it quickly, which I haven’t done since the first Black Sabbath album. This made it a different process, which I actually enjoyed.”

Recorded in Los Angeles, the album features producer Andrew Watt on guitars, Duff McKagan (Guns N’ Roses) on bass and Chad Smith (Red Hot Chili Peppers) on drums. Beyond the core band, ORDINARY MAN, features a who’s-who of OZZY friends and collaborators including Elton John, Post Malone, and Tom Morello.

“It all just came together,” OZZY explains of the guest stars. “Slash is a dear friend of mine, as is Elton. When I was writing ‘Ordinary Man,’ it reminded me of an old Elton song and I said to Sharon, ‘I wonder if he would sing on it?’ We asked and lo and behold, he agreed and sings and play piano on the song.”

OZZY OSBOURNE Unveils Video For “Under The Graveyard”

DATE: DECEMBER 19, 2019

FROM: MARCEE RONDAN/MITCH SCHNEIDER

OZZY OSBOURNE

UNVEILS VIDEO FOR

#1 ROCK RADIO TRACK

“UNDER THE GRAVEYARD”

FROM FORTHCOMING ALBUM, ‘ORDINARY MAN,’

DUE OUT EARLY NEXT YEAR

WATCH THE CLIP HERE

For his new video for the #1 rock track “Under The Graveyard,” OZZY OSBOURNEreteamed with acclaimed film director, screenwriter and music video director Jonas Akerlund (who worked with OSBOURNE on videos for “Let Me Hear You Scream” and “Gets Me Through”). Watch the video here.

The semi-autobiographical video was recently filmed in Los Angeles and features actors Jack Kilmer (as OZZY OSBOURNE) and Jessica Barden (as Sharon Osbourne). Set in the late 70s in the early part of OZZY‘s solo career, the clip shows the darkness of life and how a helping hand and love can change everything.

“For ‘Under the Graveyard’ Jonas (Akerlund) developed the story into a ‘mini movie,'” says OZZY OSBOURNE. “But, to be quite honest, it’s hard for me to watch because it takes me back to some of the darkest times in my life. Thankfully Sharon was there to pick me up and believe in me. It was the first time she was there to fully support me and build me back up, but it certainly wasn’t the last.”

“Under The Graveyard” recently captured the #1 position on the Rock Radio Chart and has eclipsed 5.4 million streams worldwide. It marks the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee and Grammy®-winning singer and songwriter’s third #1 on this chart and his first in 10 years; “Under The Graveyard” is his first new solo music in as many years. It’s the first track from OZZY‘s forthcoming album, ORDINARY MAN, due out on Epic Records in early 2020.

ORDINARY MAN was recorded in Los Angeles and features producer Andrew Watt on guitars, Duff McKagan (Guns N’ Roses) on bass and Chad Smith (Red Hot Chili Peppers) on drums.

IAN GOTHE’s Newest Video: “Blood On The Rooftops In Montrose” Pays Homage to Steve Hackett

DT: DECEMBER 16, 2019

FR: MITCH SCHNEIDER/KELLY WALSH

IAN GOTHE SHARES VIDEO FOR

“BLOOD ON THE ROOFTOPS IN MONTROSE,”

HIS HOMAGE TO GENESIS GUITARIST STEVE HACKETT

THE SONG MARKS THE SECOND OFFERING

FROM HIS DEBUT ALBUM ‘MEMENTO’

DUE OUT FEBRUARY 7, 2020

VIA THE BLACKBIRD RECORD LABEL

Los Angeles-based acoustic guitarist, singer and songwriter IAN GOTHE has released “Blood On the Rooftops In Montrose,” the second track and video from his debut album MEMENTO. Due February 7, 2020 via the California-based Blackbird Record Label, the album was co-produced by IAN with Grammy-winning producer and engineer Jim Scott (Wilco, Tom Petty). Watch the video here.

“Blood On the Rooftops In Montrose” is IAN‘s homage to Genesis guitarist Steve Hackett. The intro to the song is by Hackett (“Blood On The Rooftops,” from the Genesis album Wind & Wuthering) paired with an original piece by GOTHE (*read the Q&A with IAN below*). The video–directed by Martin Yernazian and shot at IAN‘s studio in Montrose, CA—was premiered by Stereo Embers Magazine (12/12/19) which wrote:

“A stirring number played with finesse, precision and heart, ‘Blood On The Rooftops In Montrose’ is a riveting display of soulful musical virtuosity. An homage to Steve Hackett, the instrumental track not only showcases Gothe’s spellbinding dexterity, it demonstrates the sophistication and sheer artistry of his compositions. The follow-up to ‘Spanish Caravan,’ which was the first single from Gothe’s debut album Memento, ‘Blood On The Rooftops In Montrose’ is further proof that Memento is one of the most widely-anticipated albums of 2020. Along with dazzling originals, the album also contains masterful interpretations of numbers by the Doors (‘Spanish Caravan’), The Coral (‘Liezah’) and The Bee Gees (‘Holiday’).”

“Blood On the Rooftops In Montrose” follows the album’s first single and video, “Spanish Caravan,” IAN‘s interpretation of the Doors classic. The video was premiered via Guitar Player magazine (10/30/19)which hailed it as a “…a beautiful, deeply personal cover.”

QUOTES FROM IAN GOTHE

ABOUT “BLOOD ON THE ROOFTOPS IN MONTROSE” TRACK AND VIDEO

“‘Blood On The Rooftops In Montrose‘ is my homage to Steve Hackett. The intro to the song is by Hackett paired with my original piece. The song is about a couch potato, and I keep the theme of televisions as I use the classical guitar lines to reflect our connection to technology. The subtlety of the lines allows the listener to disconnect from a world that’s overwhelmed by the current sense of connection through technology. ‘Blood On The Rooftops In Montrose’ is a way for the listener to unplug and experience relief. In the video we provided a gentle slower pace with the angles and edits to support this idea.”

“Like all of [Martin] Yernazian’s videos the lenses that were used were vintage 1970’s Nikon custom lenses that add an atmospheric cinematic feel to the piece. Shot on Blackmagic Design cameras. Both for recording and the video I used my 2007 A.J. Lucas Classical Guitar (a luthier from England).”

GOTHE, an Armenian-American born in Iran who came to Los Angeles as a teenager, recorded MEMENTO at Jim Scott‘s Plyrz Studios in Valencia, CA. It features performances by all-star musicians Derek Frank (Shania Twain, Gwen Stefani), Fernando Perdomo (Jakob Dylan, Fiona Apple), Tamir Barzilay (Macy Gray, Tal Wilkenfeld), and Sam Babayan (The Dirty Diamond).

GOTHE brings to his compositions and arrangements a depth that can only be found in those who have dedicated themselves to their craft.The artistic choices that GOTHE makes are evidence of an artist who has emerged from a journey, confident and ready to create from a place of authentic introspection.

RANDY RHOADS’ INSTRUMENTS AND MEMORABILIA

STOLEN FROM MUSONIA SCHOOL OF MUSIC IN

NORTH HOLLYWOOD, CA ON THANKSGIVING

SOME MEMORABILIA RECOVERED, BUT GUITAR AND AMP

REMAIN MISSING

OZZY OSBOURNE

OFFERS $25,000 REWARD FOR INFORMATION

LEADING TO ARREST AND CONVICTION OF SUSPECTS

Following a Thanksgiving burglary of a variety of historical Randy Rhoads instruments and memorabilia, OZZY OSBOURNE is offering a $25,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction and/or return of the remaining missing items. The reward will be disbursed upon the return of all the missing items.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee and Grammy®-winning singer and songwriter made the appeal via an announcement (12-7) on social media here. While some items were recovered, the most valuable ones remain missing (details and photos below).

The robbery occurred Thanksgiving night (November 28) at the Musonia School of Music in North Hollywood, CA, the school where Randy Rhoads famously taught guitar and which was run by Randy’s late mother Delores. Following Randy’s death 37 years ago, the school drew fans from all over the world as a place where the Rhoads Family happily opened their hearts to share the life of Randy.

“As you can imagine, the items that were viciously stolen, including Randy’s first electric guitar, are irreplaceable to the Rhoads Family,” OZZY says “I am heartbroken that these treasured physical memories of Randy and Delores have been taken from the family so I’ve decided to personally offer a reward.”

Anyone with information regarding the theft, should reach out to Nick D’Argenzio, 818-281-7893 (phone) or email: nickdargenzio@gmail.com.

The stolen items are as follows:

* Randy Rhoads’ First Electric Guitar Owned, Harmony Rocket, Est. 1963

* Randy Rhoads Series Marshall Head, Rare Prototype No. 1 or 2 given to the family by Marshall Company.

Alternative/industrial rock outfit THE CLAY PEOPLE have debuted the new music video for “Strange Day,” taken from their 2018 full-length release Demon Hero and Other Extraordinary Phantasmagoric Anomalies & Fables (Magnetic Eye Records). The song includes a guest appearance from bassist Chris Wyse (The Hollywood Vampires, Ace Frehley, The Cult, OWL) and former band member Walter Flakus (Stabbing Westward) on keys. Watch it now via YouTube (HERE) or streaming below.

Hailing from Albany, New York, THE CLAY PEOPLE‘s current lineup consists of Dan Neet (lead vocals), who formed the band in the early 90’s, Brian McGarvey (guitars), Eric Braymer (bass), Dan Dinsmore (drums), Vegas Nacy (vocals) and Jared Weed (guitars), who will perform a one-off show this coming Saturday, December 7 at Olives in Nyack, NY. Tickets are available here. The band have also announced plans for a full-length U.S. tour in Spring of 2020. Stay tuned for details.

“‘Strange Day’ is about the realization of loss,” states THE CLAY PEOPLE. “It’s a cry for help and being aware of it.”

The Clay People – Strange Day

THE CLAY PEOPLE released their debut full-length album Firetribe in 1994 via Re-Constriction Records, followed by their 1995 EP The Iron Icon and second album Stone-Ten Stitches in 1997 before signing to Mercury/Slipdisc Records for the release of their acclaimed self-titled release in 1998. The self-titled album included the radio charting hit single “Awake“–which was featured in films including Strangeland, Universal Soldier: The Return and Marked For Death— and saw the band tour alongside Disturbed, Stained, Clutch, Rob Zombie, Static X, Stabbing Westward and Filter.

Following this release, THE CLAY PEOPLE went on hiatus throughout the early 2000’s before briefly reuniting to release Waking The Dead in 2007 via Overit Records with a refreshed lineup. The band took a second hiatus and returned in 2018 with Demon Hero and Other Extraordinary Phantasmagoric Anomalies & Fables, an album that captures the band at a creative peak and was forged from what was at times a tenuous, cathartic and finally unifying recording process, produced by members Dan Dinsmore and Brian McGarvey while being mixed by Neil Kernon (Nile, Queensryche, Nevermore)
