Alice Cooper has another video out to promote his album Breadcrumbs. The lyric video is for the song "Detroit City 2020." This is a remake of the earlier version of Alice's song "Detroit City."
Tom Keifer has released the video for his song "Rise," which is the title track off his most current self-titled album. Rise came out yesterday. This is as close to new Cinderella that you are going to get these days, folks!
Not many details yet, but Tommy Lee announced a new solo album via Twitter last night. I have no idea what type of music he's made, but I'll assume it's techno. It is rumored to feature other artists as guests. Time will tell I suppose.
Been working on this for 2 years! Making sure everything is amazing for you! This is gonna be a flip! 2 sides 2 genres I’ll explain more later
Never better! Alice Cooper is back with a cover of Bob Seger's “East Side Story.” The song is on Alice's upcoming album Breadcrumbs, due out this Friday. Are you a first day buyer?

Wildstreet has released their official music video for their single "Tennessee Cocaine." The single was released on all major digital and streaming platforms August 23rd.
"Tennessee Cocaine’s the greatest feeling on the greatest night of your life. It’s like a speed ball laced w/adrenaline & cut w/ ecstasy. It’s hedonistic, instinctual, sexual like the gun burning ink in your veins. Tennessee Cocaine represents an addiction.. a addiction of humanity shall I say… to be free, to be an individual, & to live on our own terms. It’s about being the superstar or rockstar, at the best party.. on the best night of your life…" says Eric Jayk.
Wildstreet began in 2006 and released their self-titled debut album on Retrospect Records in 2009. The band spent the next 4 years touring nonstop & performing at US festivals including: Rocklahoma (5 consecutive years), SXSW & M3 Rock Festival. Wildstreet rocked alongside Black Veil Brides, Vains of Jenna, The Bouncing Souls, The Last Vegas, Twisted Sister, Michael Monroe, Crashdiet, Diemonds, Kix, LA Guns and more. The band won the Best Buy/Ernie Ball Battle of the Bands for Rockstar Energy’s Uproar Festival, and opened for Avenged Sevenfold, Sevendust and Three Days Grace in Camden, NJ.
After taking a 2 1/2 year break and dodging rumors of a band breakup, Wildstreet exploded back onto the NYC scene in 2016, headlining Gramercy Theatre with new lineup. In early 2017, the band rocked NYC with Faster Pussycat and The Biters and headed to Rocklahoma for the 6th time. The band began work on their latest single “Raise Hell” after Rocklahoma. Released in December 2017, it ushered in a new period for the band. They headlined Irving Plaza for the single’s release party, and was handpicked by Dorothy to open for her New York City tour date at The Bowery Ballroom. In February 2018, the band released a lyric/concert video for “Raise Hell.” Wildstreet spent the remainder of 2018 in the studio recording, Wildstreet III. They performed regional tour dates and festival dates. Highlights include opening for Sebastian Bach and Escape The Fate. In March, the band sold out The Knitting Factory Brooklyn and then headed out on their first tour in Europe, playing 10 shows in Belgium, The Netherlands and Germany, including Sleaze Fest 2019 in Bochum, Germany. Upon returning to NYC, Wildstreet filmed the official music video for “Tennessee Cocaine.” In July, they headlined a sold out NYC show at Saint Vitus and headed out for a short West Coast tour which included stops at The Whisky-agogo and Great American Music Hall.
Catch David Lee Roth: Vegas Rocks at the House of Blues Las Vegas on January 8th, 10th, 11th and again March 18th, 20th, 21st, 25th, 27th and 28th. You know this will be a heck of a party. A press release promises 26 songs, a lot of then early Van Halen hits like "Jump." Remember: it is September 10, 2019 and there is still no news from the Van Halen camp - I don't see a reunion tour happening anytime soon, especially with this news.
"David Lee Roth– front man and voice of Van Halen – is coming to Las Vegas. Diamond Dave is bringing the rock to the House of Blues Las Vegas with a residency beginning on Jan. 8, 10, and 11 at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino."
