CINDERELLA
Frontiers Records is pleased to announce the signing of Hard Rock icons CINDERELLA for the European release on the "Live at the Mohegan Sun" album on November 6th 2009.
Featuring the all original line-up of Tom
Keifer (vocals, guitar), Eric Brittingham (bass), Jeff LaBar (guitar)
and Fred Coury (drums), the show was recorded during the VH1 sponsored
"Rock Never Stops" package tour, which Cinderella headlined, supported
by Ratt, Quiet Riot and Firehouse. The concert was held in Uncasville,
Connecticut on July 21, 2005 is now officially and integrally released
in Europe as an appetizer to the ultimate live return of the band on
the European soil, which is planned for the year 2010!
Formed in Philadelphia in 1983 by
singer/songwriter/guitarist Tom Keifer and bassist Eric Brittingham,
they quickly added guitarist Jeff LaBar to the line-up. With Jody
Cortez completing the band on drums, Cinderella started to write and
perform original material in clubs and bars in Pennsylvania and New
Jersey, until Jon Bon Jovi caught one of the performances and alerted
his record company, Mercury, who immediately signed the band.
Cinderella's debut album "Night Songs", was released in June 1986 and
went on to sell over 3 million units, sporting such singles as "Shake
Me", "Nobody's Fool" and "Somebody Save Me". Fred Coury replaced
Cortez prior to the release of "Night Songs" and the band has remained
unchanged since.
Two years later Cinderella returned with
their second album, "Long Cold Winter". The record was another huge
success, selling in excess of 3 million copies with tracks like "Gypsy
Road" and "Don't Know What You Got (‘Til Its Gone)" becoming soon fan
favourites.
Their third album, "Heartbreak Station",
was released in 1990 followed by "Still Climbing" in 1994. The later
two albums featured songs more influenced by Keifer's love of the
blues. Cinderella disbanded in 1995 but by 1998, there was interest by
promoters for Cinderella to reunite in the original lineup for a tour.
Cinderella were later signed to Sony's Portrait label by famed record
executive John Kalodner, however the lack of success of the label's
initial releases brought the cancellation of the deal as the label
folded.
Nevertheless, a faithful fan base
supported the continued road work by the band, which reunited again in
the summer of 2000 for a tour with Poison, followed by a second outing
by the two groups in 2002 and regular live activity until 2006 which
will be finally resumed during next year. Get ready for the return of
Cinderella!
