The Dead Daisies - Live and Louder (2017)

THE DEAD DAISIES had an unbelievable last year. From the moment they dropped their first single “Long Way To Go” ahead of their European Festival Summer in June, the hits just kept on coming. The 2nd single and title track “Make Some Noise” ramped up the release of the third studio album for the band in August at which point they were well underway touring the USA with KISS, a tour that finished with a sold-out headline show at LA’s prestigious “Whisky A Go-Go”. “Song and a prayer”, released as a single with an accompanying short-film, refocused attention and rang in the final, massive touring phase of the year which saw the band go to Japan for the first time, where they immediately became media and fan darlings and went down a storm at the world-famous “Loud Park”-festival. A string of dates in Korea for the USO and, as the year’s grand finale, a massive UK & European Co-Headline Tour that played 30+ shows to sold-out venues. The “Daisies” as they are affectionately referred to by their fans quickly became people’s favourite live band with their relentless energy, stellar musicianship and unabashed joy in bringing the rock back into roll. The big question at signing sessions and on the band’s social media channels continued to be: “Will there be a live album?”. People simply could not get enough of them live. Not to turn down a good opportunity, the band recorded a number of shows on the UK & European Tour and, with the team that already made “Make Some Noise” blow speakers worldwide (Mixer Anthony Focx and mastering legend Howie Weinberg), assembled a true monster in the vein of the great Live Albums of the 70s. You can feel the sweat drip from the ceilings, the energy of the crowd becoming one with the band, screaming, hollering and forgetting about the often mundane reality for a night of true Rock’n’Roll. Warts ’n all, “LIVE & LOUDER” is a document of a band in their prime, a raw slice of visceral energy, an in-your-face assault on the senses. Simply: THE DEAD DAISIES at their most natural and most amazing! Lead singer John Corabi adds: “We’re extremely excited and proud of our new album “Live & Louder”!!! A lot of the fans have been writing to us and saying how much they LOVED our records but were even more blown away by the band live!!! So this documents our last U.K./European tour, and also shows the world how truly loud and supportive The Dead Daisies fans are!!!! Thank you and Turn It Up!!!!” Line-Up: Brian Tichy (Ozzy Osbourne, Foreigner) - drums David Lowy (Red Phoenix, Mink) – guitars John Corabi (Mötley Crüe, The Scream) – vocals Doug Aldrich (Whitesnake, Dio) - guitars Marco Mendoza (Thin Lizzy, Whitesnake) - bass.
