MIDNIGHT CONFESSIONS ( new Rock City Angels Disc!)
This blog is long overdue, there's been a lot of news since the last one!
First and foremost, Rock City Angels have a new disc available. Eighteen years since first recorded, (older than some of you reading this) these "lost" recordings are officially seeing the light of day via the FnA Records release, "Midnight Confessions". And don't worry, this is not another record company attempt to ripoff the band, this is an official release that saw RCA cooperating with an excited new label out of Nashville. Though some may have heard a few of these songs on various websites through the years, this material has been masterfully remastered and sequenced to sound better than ever before.
Showing that the band was either way ahead of their time or another example of major label short sightedness, (or both) the disc has already recieved great cheers from both fans and critics alike. Popular 1, Spain's premier rock magazine gave it 8 out of ten stars and there's plenty more to follow.
Hell, take a listen for yourself at http://www.fnarecords.com/artists/32-r/152-rock-city-angels-midnight-confessions and please take a moment to let the band know what you think.
Many people grew up with "Young Man's Blues" and for them nothing will ever equal that accomplishment. But there's a new generation of rock fans that are discovering the band through the self released "Use Once and Destroy". We simply can't remain stagnant as artists and for those of you open minded enough, Rock City Angels will consistantly take you on a wild ride.
Speaking of rides, the band is having a CD release party and you're all invited! Still working out details on earlier shows, we are kicking off our mini tour in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. at the Monterey Club with Kill Miss Pretty on Nov. 12th. The big event really takes off at our Nov. 19th Nashville show at The Muse, with our very special guests, River City Tanlines, who put on one HELL of a rock show. There will be giveaways and, get this! the entire show will be broadcast live on the web all over the world. It will also be recordedfor a potential future live album/dvd, so if you live in the Nashville area be sure to come out and party with the band and show your support. Tickets are $6 in advance, $8 day of the show. This one will be talked about for a long time to come folks.
The festivities will draw to a close on Nov. 20th in my hometown of Memphis at Murphy's with our guests MouseRocket! What's that you say? It's on the same night as the Nick Cave Grinderman show? Well, don't I know it, I'm going to that show myself and seeing as Mr. Cave is a Rock City Angels fan himself, this will be our Nick Cave after party and will begin only after his show ends. Murphy's is but a quick walk away, so come and join us, you never know who might show up.
With all this activity going on, it's safe to say ROCK City Angels will be around for a while, as long as music fans dig what we're doing. Band members may come and go, styles of music may change but Rock City Angels as an entity will continue to create relevant music that will stand the test of time as long as I draw breath and perhaps beyond.
Let us know what you think and be a part of the revolution. I'll leave you with the lyrics to "I Got Your Heart" from our "Use Once and Destroy" CD.
I Got Your Heart
_______________
Death drives a Cadillac and he's bearing down the road
I'm being deviled and I'm losing all control
You're on the B-side and you're itchin' for a ride
It's a subliminal seduction you can't hide
I got your heart between my teeth to tear it apart
It's all the rage now to be dead before you're old
I'll gladly help you make you're sacrificial goals
Your purple mini-skirt has gone and broke my heart
Just like an overdose it's time you played your part
I got your heart between my teeth to tear it apart
Because my eyes have seen the glory
And my ears have heard the story
I was crowned with the thorns from a tree
I got your heart between my teeth to tear it apart
