PAUL RODGERS & BAD COMPANY

BAD COMPANY TO REUNITE - ONE NIGHT ONLY!

 

Tickets on Sale Saturday, July 5 at 1 p.m.

 

 

BAD COMPANY TO REUNITE - ONE NIGHT ONLY!

 

ORIGINAL MEMBERS PAUL RODGERS, SIMON KIRKE AND MICK RALPHS TO PERFORM FIRST SHOW TOGETHER IN A DECADE AT THE

HARD ROCK LIVE IN HOLLYWOOD, FL AUGUST 8th!

 

Los Angeles, CA – July 2, 2008 – Bad Company original members Paul Rodgers, Mick Ralphs and Simon Kirke will reunite for the first time in nearly a decade. Following a huge demand from fans, Bad Company will perform one show only at Hard Rock Live at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida on Friday, August 8th. Tickets will go on sale Saturday, July 5th.

 

Bad Company’s hits such as “Can’t Get Enough,” “Feel Like Makin Love,” “Rock Steady,” “Movin’ On,” “Shooting Star,” “Rock & Roll Fantasy” and “Bad Company” (the first to self title their band name in a song and album) propelled them to the forefront of the 70s arena rock movement. Paul Rodgers, Mick Ralphs and Simon Kirke will reunite to perform together for the first time since 1999 (founding member Boz Burrell passed away in 2006). Rodgers, celebrating his 40th year as a recording artist, recently performed at London’s Hyde Park with Queen as part of the “The 46664 Concert – Honoring Nelson Mandela’s 90th Birthday” and will be embarking on a world concert tour in support of their new studio album September. His most recent solo CD/DVD release, Live in Glasgow, charted internationally at #1 and #3 and is certified Gold.

 

After the break up of FREE (best known internationally for their smash hit “All Right Now” co-written by Rodgers) vocalist and multi-instrumentalist vocalist Paul Rodgers connected with ex-Mott the Hoople guitarist Mick Ralphs, FREE drummer Simon Kirke would later join that year and the trio began rehearsing. Ex-King Crimson bassist Boz Burrell came aboard a few months later and the supergroup Bad Company was solidified.  Before releasing their first album, the band had toured for months and in 1974 signed to Song Records (owned by Led Zeppelin and distributed via Atlantic Records) to release their highly anticipated debut album, titled Bad Co. Propelled by the hit single “Can’t Get Enough,” the album would quickly hit #1 on the charts and remain in the Top 40 for four straight months. To this day, the multi-platinum Bad Co. album arguably remains one of the most accomplished debuts in rock history, reading as a virtual greatest hits set in itself.

 

Straight Shooter, Run with the Pack, Burnin’ Sky and Desolation Angels would all follow within a five year run throughout the 70s yielding more multi-platinum awards with hit after hit, “Feel Like Makin’ Love,” “Seagull,” “Run with the Pack,” “Burnin’ Sky,” “Rock ‘N’ Roll Fantasy,” making Bad Company one of the biggest concert attractions of the decade. In 1982, the band released their final recording Rough Diamonds and the single “Electricland” would be their last before disbanding. The group’s multi-platinum award-winning greatest hits set 10 from 6 has become a record collection staple.

Rocker Mel Galley
Loses Cancer Battle

The former Whitesnake rocker was 59.
Thursday, July 3, 2008

Former Whitesnake star Mel Galley has lost his battle with cancer.

The 59-year-old guitarist revealed he was seriously ill in February 2008, telling fans he didn't have long to live.

In a candid post on his MySpace.com page, he wrote, "I've had a fantastic life. I have been very lucky. I have seen some great bands, and played with many great musicians.

"I have enjoyed some tremendous experiences. I am thankful that I can say a proper goodbye to all the friends I have made, who are now rallying round me."

The star, who also performed with classic rock acts Trapeze and Phenomena, revealed his final weeks were full of fun of fun and laughter.

In a recent post, he wrote, "Friends visit me each day, I have drugs in me 24/7, and I have a plentiful supply of gin and tonic by my bedside. I even have my own ice machine! In fact, it's just like my Whitesnake days."

Born in Staffordshire, England, Galley was forced to quit Whitesnake after injuring his arm in a fairground accident in Germany.

He suffered nerve damage and pioneered a spring and wire device, known as The Claw, that was fitted to his hand to enable him to play the guitar.

During Whitesnake's recent European tour, frontman David Coverdale dedicated "Love Ain't No Stranger" to his sick pal. Galley wrote the song with the singer.

Trapeze frontman Glenn Hughes has paid tribute to his childhood friend, stating, "I'll see you in the Garden one day, and truly recognize you as my brother."

The concert name refers to Nelson Mandela’s prison number (46664 - pronounced four, double six, six, four) when he spent 18 years of his 27 years in prison on Robben Island off the coast of Cape Town in South Africa. 

Oprah Winfrey, former President Bill Clinton, Prime Minister Gordon Brown, Robert De Niro, Forest Whitaker are among those who will attend some of the events surrounding the three-day celebration in London which culminates in the evening concert.  

South African and African artists Johnny Clegg, Sipho Mabuse, Loyiso, the Soweto Gospel Choir, Papa Wemba, Sudanese ‘war child’ rapper Emmanuel Jal, and AIDS orphan choir: The Children of Agape will also join in the celebration.

The concert proceeds will benefit Nelson Mandela’s HIV/AIDS charity 46664 that he founded in 2002.  “I am supposed to be retired but my friends and the charitable organizations that bear my name want to use my 90th birthday year to raise funds to continue our work and so of course I want to help them,” said Nelson Mandela.

“Nelson Mandela epitomizes strength and courage around the world.   He has come to symbolize hope, working tirelessly through his 46664 organization to raise awareness about the impact of AIDS, especially in Africa, and promote HIV prevention measures globally,” said Tom Calderone, VH1’s Executive Vice President, General Manager.  “We at VH1 have a long history of proactively engaging our viewers in the fight against HIV/AIDS.  We are proud to be a part of this momentous occasion and are eager to share the celebration with music fans across the U.S.

 Deborah Bonham

Date: Fri 4 Jul 2008, 8:00pm
Price: £12.50
Venue: Jim Marshall Auditorium
 

 
How much talent can you get in just one gene pool? Looking at the Bonham family tree, loads. Tonight Deborah Bonham - sister of John, aunt of Jason - joins us for the first time. Music is in her blood, and her vocal style draws comparisons with Janis Joplin and Fleetwood Mac's Stevie Nicks. However, Deborah cites Stone The Crows' Maggie Bell as her key influence and there the similarity is greatest, in a performance that runs the gamut from blues to soul to hard rock to English folk, and all the way back again.

Also on the night, Jim our chef will be barbequing on the veranda – not hidden away in the kitchen where he usually is! Pick up a burger and a beer for just £5 before the show, a perfect after work wind down to set you up for the weekend.
You’d be hard pressed to find a full nights entertainment for less than £20 anywhere else in the city!
