Hello all, it’s been a busy season:
The UFO fall US tour was a blast. What an incredible band! It was cool to see a bunch of familiar faces from 2008, and many new ones. Much thanks to METALLICA and BUMBLEFOOT for comin’ out to watch. Extra special thanks to all the fans, you’re intense dedication is so appreciated. After that, UFO headed over to Europe which completely kicked ass!! I was psyched to see Basel, Switzerland, where I’d never been. (Shout out to VINNIE MOORE who’s in Europe now with his solo tour- go see it!) The same day UFO finished, I flew to Finland to meet up with the SEBASTIAN BACH BAND. Our first show (on no rehearsal!) was direct support for the legendary ALICE COOPER at the Esport Arena in Helsinki. Alice and band were so friendly to us and of course their show was amazing. Thanks also to MICHAEL MONROE for joining us onstage in Turku, Finland for “Taxi Driver”. We then ravaged our way across Europe. I was happy to make it to Budapest, where I’d never been. Such warm people, and of course back to Italia!!! By the time we got to Rome the BACH band was absolutely on fire!
We were home for the holidays barely long enough to pet the cat, then back out on the road. This time as direct support for GUNS N’ ROSES across Canada. I can not express how cool AXL and the gang were to us, including their crew. It’s such a huge privilege to play sold out arenas and I think the fans really appreciated having two of the absolute best hard rock frontmen on one stage. I surely did!!! The GN’R show is a definite “must see” and the afterparties were almost as wild as the shows. DANKO JONES was the opener and is also a really good rock band of supercool people. Thank you again so much Canada!!
SEBASTIAN played a few packed out headline shows on the way home and now the CHINESE DEMOCRACY/ANGEL DOWN WORLD TOUR rolls on to South America, so look out for us…..
I also wanted to mention that LOVEMBER RECORDS has just released the debut album from my band OF EARTH and made it available FREE for anyone and everyone at http://OfEarth.bandcamp.com. It was co-engineered by Grammy winner Tom Camuso and I think it turned out really good.
See you out there, somewhere… Rob De Luca.
