Australian rock band TRACER won "Best New Band" at the Classic Rock Roll of Honour Awards 2012, held at the London Roundhouse on Tuesday November 13th. Lead singer and guitarist Michael Brown was flown in from Adelaide, Australia to accept the award on behalf of the band. The news of Tracer’s win as "Best New Band" follows the news of their forthcoming April 2013 UK tour. "I’m absolutely stoked about winning the Classic Rock Award for Best New Band," says Brown. "It still blows my mind that we are creating and playing music we love and people are responding to it and we’re getting awards for it!" Tracer start recording their second album with producer Kevin Shirley (Led Zeppelin, Iron Maiden, Slayer, Silverchair, Cold Chisel), at his studio in Malibu later this month. The album will be released by Mascot Records in March 2013, and will dovetail their UK tour in April. Tracer’s 2013 UK Tour starts Tuesday 9 April. Tickets are available from the 24 hour box office: 0844 478 0898, www.thegigcartel.com. They play London Scala (April 9), Bristol Tunnels (April 10), York Fibbers (April 11), Sheffield Plug (April 12) and Glasgow o2 ABC (April 13). In 2011, Tracer came to prominence in the UK when they released their debut album Spaces In Between, which spawned three radio singles on Planet Rock, including the song Too Much. The band includes Michael Brown (guitar, vocals), Andre Wise (drums), and Pat Saracino (bass). They’ve received praise from UK rock magazines including Classic Rock (New Band of the Month), Total Guitar, Metal Hammer, and Guitarist. Their promo video for the Too Much single has amassed 100,000 YouTube hits.

By the 80s it was further reinforced by the likes of the Scorpions, and many more influential rock bands.” The Tilburg gig, recorded May 2012, features Schenker (lead guitar), Doogie White (vocals), Herman Rarebell (drums), Francis Buchholz (bass) and Wayne Findley (rhythm guitar, keyboards).

Thankfully my family are safe.
There is no power, water, the devastation is off the charts. The President is in my home town in New Jersey because of the damage. It’s like Armageddon. Where my children surf, 80 houses burnt down.”. New Jersey’s favourite son Jon is flying back to help the clean up of the area and help to get his charity restaurant mobilized. He is already heavily involved with what will undoubtedly be an unprecedented amount of aide for homeless and disadvantaged people. The Jon Bon Jovi Soul Foundation will help to feed victims of the terrible storm that has destroyed much of the area. “I am committed to my Soul Foundation and Soul Kitchen Restaurant which a lot of people rely on for their food. I need to find a generator and get that working. What can I do, I have to get there and find out. We take care of each other, that’s what we do in own town.” |
