BAD COMPANY TO MAKE THEIR NETWORK
LATE NIGHT DEBUT
ON THE TONIGHT SHOW JUNE 10th
40th Anniversary Celebration Tour Kicks Off On June 15th
New York --- Bad Company will make their network late night debut on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno next Monday June 10th. The following day, the band will be the featured guests at The Grammy Museum in Los Angeles for a rare Q&A with their fans and an intimate set. The Grammy Museum event sold out within five minutes of going on sale. This Wednesday evening, fans can tune into the long running nationally syndicated program ROCKLINE, which will feature Paul Rodgers as their guest.
The band’s summer tour which will celebrate their 40th anniversary since forming begins on June 15 in Rancho Mirage, CA and will stage 30 dates, ending on September 29 at the Los Angeles County Fair in Pomona. In front of the tour, Paul Rodgers shares, "When Mick and I formed the band we were amazed at the instant success. It didn't hurt to have Led Zeppelin behind us and I think we wrote some decent songs that still resonate. This one is for the fans."
Bad Company were dubbed a super-group upon the band's formation due to the union of Free's Paul Rodgers (Vocals / Multi-Instrumentalist) with Mott The Hoople's Mick Ralphs (Guitar) plus Free's Simon Kirke (Drums) and King Crimson's Boz Burrell (Bass), who passed away in 2006. Over the next nine years, the band released a string of six albums that sold tens of millions of copies, yielding international hits "Can't Get Enough," "Bad Company," "Feel Like Makin' Love," and many others penned by the main songwriters Paul Rodgers and Mick Ralphs. Original members Rodgers, Ralphs, and Kirke will be joined by guitarist Howard Leese and bassist Todd Ronning (from Paul Rodgers solo band).
On 14 of the dates, Bad Company will co-headline with Lynyrd Skynyrd. Paul Rodgers recently shared, "The Skynyrds and I go back to the 70's and the days and nights at the Hyatt House on Sunset in LA aka the Riot House. In the 90's the band introduced me to my wife Cynthia, and that's why I am so damned happy and healthy these years." Lynyrd Skynyrd's Johnny Van Zant offered, "Every member of Skynyrd has been fans of Bad Company from the get go. Personally, Paul is one of my favorite rock singers. We have a deep appreciation for Bad Company’s music and look forward to being on the road with them and sharing the stage.”

|
Los Angeles, CA - June 3, 2013 - Pet Shop Boys have made the brand new track 'Vocal' available to download from today. The song is taken from the forthcoming Stuart Price produced album Electric, which is released on July 16 through Pet Shop Boys' own x2 Recordings (via Kobalt Label Services). 'Vocal' will be released on CD on July 23. A vinyl version will also be made available.
Listen to the track below:
'Vocal' follows 'Axis', the first track to appear from 'Electric', which was made available to download in April to a flurry of critical acclaim:
"Extremely good 10/10" - Popjustice
"A triumphant return" - Metro
"Just as disreputably banging as you might expect, spinning your head round its axis of amyl with a ferocious robo-house mid-section" - NME
"Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe sound fired up and re-wired" -Q
'Vocal' is one of the many highlights of 'Electric', and has already received support from the world's number one DJ, Armin Van Buuren, on his top 10 podcast 'A State of Trance'.
Remixes of 'Vocal' will be announced shortly.
Pet Shop Boys are currently on the worldwide 'Electric' tour, for which Q Magazine recently gave 4 stars in an early review.
'Electric' features nine tracks in total - eight brand new Pet Shop Boys' songs plus a cover of Bruce Springsteen's 'The last to die'. The result is as uncompromising a collection of dance anthems as Pet Shop Boys have ever made.
'Vocal' is available to download now here: http://bit.ly/16D3aQt
