THE DEAD DAISIES bohren nun mit Glenn Hughes ganz dicke Hardrock-Bretter

With an inherited billion-dollar fortune up his sleeve, Australian businessman David Lowy (who runs shopping centres in the UK, the US and his homeland, among other places) remembered his old love, hard rock, in 2012. In his younger days, the rhythm guitarist had already made it into English clubs with his band Mink, but The Dead Daisies were then to attack a few levels higher for the then fiftysomething. For the five albums and hundreds of concerts to date, Lowy enlisted top-class musicians such as Richard Fortus (guitar) and Dizzy Reed (keyboards) from Guns N' Roses, experienced drummers such as Brian Tichy (Whitesnake), buzzing bassists such as Marco Mendoza and vocalists such as John Corabi (Mötley Crüe).

Going to California - After Black Country Communion Glenn Hughes and Jason Bonham now bet on CALIFORNIA BREED

Two brothers in spirit found themselves in exile in California: the English Glenn Hughes (ex-Trapeze, ex-Deep Purple) and Jason Bonham. After Bonham had represented his father at the legendary 2007 O2-Gig in a grandiose way and after several sessions with John Paul Jones and Jimmy Page as well as singers like Steven Tyler (Aerosmith) or Myles Kennedy (Slash, Alter Bridge), Led Zeppelin had not been continued without Robert Plant, the drummer suddenly gave the pulse of a supergroup: Black Country Communion. Stylistically anchored in the seventies, the band also had an output corresponding to that time: three albums in three years. When Hughes complained loudly that Black Country Communion was acting like a hobby band for Joe Bonamassa and could not establish itself as an independent force, the star guitarist's management pulled the plug.
