Meat Loaf, the beloved multi-faceted rocker who broke sales records with the classic multi-platinum selling albums “Bat Out of Hell” and “Bat Out of Hell II: Back Into Hell,” is readying the release of an all new album, “Braver Than We Are” for 429 Records. Working closely again with longtime collaborator Jim Steinman—a key to the magic of those two albums—Meat has recorded ten new songs in tandem with Steinman, producer Paul Cook and The Neverland Express which includes John Miceli (drums), Paul Cook (guitars, loops, synths), Randy Flowers (guitars, vocals), David Luther (sax, B3 organ, strings, horn arrangements), Justin Avery (piano, synths, strings, backing vocal arrangements), Danny Miranda (bass), Stacy Michelle (vocals), Cian Coey (vocals). Guest musician Ricky Medlocke provided the slide guitar solo on “Train of Love.” The tracks on “Braver Than We Are” were written by Steinman—from the first song he ever wrote in a storied career to the most recent. The songs were recorded, overdubbed and mixed per Steinman’s directive before making the cut.

W-Festival with Alphaville, Peter Hook & the Light, Marc Almond, Sian Evans (Kosheen), Heaven 17, Scritti Politti and more

It’s new! It’s hot! It’s 80ties! It’s new wave! It’s yours! This new Festival in Belgium offers some great 80s bands you rarely see live on the same stage. THE SERIOUS FIVE will open the festival. We'd like to think of THE SERIOUS FIVE as the Belgian FAD GADGET. The group was discovered during the “Gentse feesten” early 90ties and experienced a successful period of many years. Today, years later, they resurface with a new EP. They have chosen the W-Festival as the launch moment of that EP.

Concerts of DAMIEN RICE are something very special. Sounds like an empty phrase, but it isn’t. His melancholic song meditations, his guitar play, his unique voice, his poetic and heart-warming lyrics and his devoted fans make an evening with him a mass for the pure and sheer power of song writing. After an exclusive Berlin show for the release of his last album ‘My Favourite Faded Fantasy’ and some selected German shows last year, the Irishman comes back to Germany for three open air shows.
