Adrian Smith says: “We’ve been blown away by the reaction to “Black Light / White Noise!” We’re extremely proud of it, and to know that it’s been received so enthusiastically by fans old and new has been amazing.
“We can’t wait to hit the road next year with Julia (Lange- bass) and Bruno (Valverde – drums) of course and start playing some of these songs live.”
Richie Kotzen adds, “From the moment we finished the record, we knew we had something special on our hands. It’s been a joy for us both to play together in the studio and on stage, and to write some of the most exciting music we’ve ever done.
“Bringing it to bigger stages and even more people in the UK & Europe next year is going to be great. We’ll see you all down the front!”
