reformation de Keel

[Everflow]

Cette semaine c'est la semaine hard US :

Vocalist Ron Keel of the reactivated '80s hard rock band KEEL is featured in the new TheRightToRock.com podcast.

The 20-minute interview is available for download at this location.

KEEL recently inked a deal with the Maryland-based label Chavis Records. The group plans to release a new CD by summertime.

Chavis CEO Bill Chavis commented: "Everyone at CR is beyond excited about having KEEL join the family, not to mention that KEEL is undoubtedly one of the paramount pioneers of this genre of music. Being part of KEEL's 25th anniversary is electrifying!"

With the high volume of requests for the band to reunite, the members — Ron Keel, guitarists Marc Ferrari and Bryan Jay, drummer Dwain Miller along with Geno Arce (Ron's longtime bassist) — felt the time is right to deliver the show fans everywhere have been demanding: a KEEL reunion.

"It would not have been right without these guys," says Ron Keel.

Plans are for KEEL to reunite at a select number of festivals and showcase dates in 2009 — including this summer's Rocklahoma festival — to perform all their hits and classic favorites in celebration of 25 years of rock 'n' roll history.

The KEEL debut reunion concert took place in Hollywood on January 31. The location for this historic event was Club Vodka at The Knitting Factory. Watch fan-filmed video footage from the show below.

In 1985, KEEL's "The Right To Rock" became the fastest-selling debut in A&M Records' history and the band was proclaimed the "Best New Band" by Metal Edge and Circus magazines. The album's title track was a hit on radio and MTV and remains a staple on VH1 Classic, in addition to the group’s subsequent hits "Tears Of Fire", "Because The Night", "Somebody's Waiting" and "Rock & Roll Outlaw". The group developed a reputation as one of the genre's most entertaining live acts, opening for heavyweights like BON JOVI, AEROSMITH and VAN HALEN, among many others.

Ron Keel, c'était pas celui qui avait abandonné le hard rock pour faire de la country ??
J'imagine que cette réunion n'est absolument pas motivée par les $$$$$

Franchement, j'ai jamais trouvé que ça cassait des barres, Keel et Steeler même à l'époque où Yngwie jouait dedans, c'était pas terrible !
