Marco Mendoza ‘New Direction’ – 2022 – NEW ALBUM/SONG/VIDEO

Known throughout the music world as a talented solid bass player for bands like Thin Lizzy, Whitesnake, Journey, Ted Nugent and The Dead Daisies to name a few, Marco Mendoza has recorded a body of amazing music in his own right.

ORDER HERE

Working with world-class producer Soren Andersen, owner of Medley Studios in Copenhagen, dubbed by some as ‘the new Mutt Lange’, the partnership that has already produced the career-defining “Viva La Rock” 2017 album has created in “New Direction” another future masterpiece together.

As it often happens, demanding times produce special opportunities, and writing and recording amidst a pandemic was a trigger for Mendoza’s creativity.

With Andersen himself handling guitars and keyboards as a background for Mendoza’s top-class bass lines and superb vocals, Tommy Gentry (Gun) stepped in for guest guitar solos in selected tracks, while drumming duties were split between Morten Hellborn (Electric Guitars) and Allan Tschicaja (Pretty Maids). A super-team surrounding Marco. But then again, the bassist/vocalist is used to working with the best of the best and wouldn’t have it any other way in what is clearly the tightest set of songs he has ever recorded in his own name.

“New Direction” is out today on digital, CD and LP (black and turquoise vinyl, each limited to 500 units) via Mighty Music.

Lineup:
Marco Mendoza: lead vocals, bass
Soren Andersen: guitars, keyboards
Morten Hellborn: drums (tracks 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9)
Allan Tschicaja: drums (tracks 3, 4, 10)
Tommy Gentry: guitar (tracks 3, 5, 6, 7, 9)
Ivan Pedersen: backing vocals (track 4)
Jorgen Thorup: backing vocals (track 4)
Peter Busborg: backing vocals (track 4)

Drummer Brian Tichy & Bassist James LoMenzo Reunite @ Hellfest 2022 – Pride & Glory – Slash’s Snakepit – Megadeth – The Dead Daisies

Brian Tichy:

When you just happened to be texting each other and the other goes, “can I call you, too much to text.. “… “yeah ok” … “hey what city are u in” “oh really, me too.. what hotel ?” “What!?? Holy shit ! So am I “ hahah…Ladies and gents, Mr. James LoMenzo!

We go back to Pride&Glory 1993, then Slash’s Snakepit 1995, and many other projects over the years! He’s now back in Megadeth full time, and has spent many years with John Fogerty, David Lee Roth, Black Label Society, Ace Frehley, White Lion and many others! A massive freight train of a bass player!

So nice to cross paths in a completely serendipitous way! (And just as nice to take advantage of one of the few big words I know! Ha)

We need way more than one evening’s hang to properly catch up!

We are both at Hellfest Saturday so I’m going to try to stick around and watch the mighty Megadeth and James do their thing that night!

The Dead Daisies “Radiance” NEW SONG/ALBUM/TOUR – 2022 – Glenn Hughes, Doug Aldrich, Brian Tichy

THE DEAD DAISIES SET TO RADIATE SOME HEAT
WITH NEW SINGLE & EU TOUR

Metaverse Cinematic Showcases Daisy and The Daisies Digital Offspring

‘Radiance’ is the first single from The Dead Daisies’ upcoming new album set for release in August. The band have been writing and recording over the last couple of months in Los Angeles with esteemed producer Ben Grosse at the Mix Room studios.

A thunderous opening sets the pace for ‘Radiance’, an eclectic, heavy rock track. The riff digs deep into a 1970’s vibe originally created in the industrious heartland of England. With Glenn Hughes powering vocal, towering above the musical storm provided by the twin guitars of Doug Aldrich and David Lowy and hugely earthshaking drums from Brian Tichy you better set the dial to eleven for this one!

“‘Radiance’ was the first song we wrote for the album and wanted to address a universal awakening with the lyrical content. Musically it’s heavy on groove and movement.” – Glenn Hughes

On June 3rd the Daisies hit Europe for the summer where they’ll tear up stages with Judas Priest, Foreigner and Whitesnake, and hitting coveted festivals such as Graspop (Belgium), Hellfest and God Save The Kouign Fest (France), Masters Of Rock Festival (Czech Republic) and the Time To Rock Festival (Sweden), along with a string of killer headline shows.

Returning to the Daisies fold is drummer extraordinaire Brian Tichy (Whitesnake, Foreigner), uniting with Glenn Hughes (Deep Purple, Black Country Communion), Doug Aldrich (Whitesnake, Dio) and David Lowy(MINK, Red Phoenix), so prepare for a massive dose of undiluted rock on their EU Summer tour.

“I’m excited for everyone to hear ‘Radiance’, a little slab of new Daisies rock! It’s been a lot of fun recording with Doug, Glenn and David, and now I’m psyched to throw down live with the guys! Hope to see you all out there on tour this year!” – Brian Tichy

The meta cinematic for ‘Radiance’ will transport you into a parallel universe with the Daisies’ digital offspring, The Meta Daisies. Accompanying them in this new dimension is their guardian Daisy at the helm. ‘Radiance’ will give you a taste of what’s to come in the Daisyland Metaverse.

“Well new music coming… we have a very unique and interesting song here called ‘Radiance’. Different than we have written before….It’s the first off our next album so crank it up!” – Doug Aldrich

Deen Castronovo: Ok my friends hopefully this puts the rumors to rest. I am not returning to Journey.  The Dead Daisies 2020 Now let’s all have a great year! Love you all.

To set the record straight. Journey is going in a different direction and leaving the past where it should be, in the past, which I think is great. A new lineup may be just what the band needs! I committed to the Daisies and couldn’t leave them a month before our tour.
