Vocalist and bandleader Keel compares the album to \u201ca great action movie \u2013 a couple of car chases, some barroom brawls, a couple of love scenes, and a lot of loud music.\u201d<\/p>\n
The band has also finished the lyric video for \u201cROAD READY,\u201d which premieres today on the EMP LABEL GROUP social media network. <\/p>\n
Ron Keel Band has also lined up a busy touring year, starting with the official Album Release Party Saturday, February 23rd at Grand Falls Casino (http:\/\/grandfallscasinoresort.com) in Larchwood, Iowa \u2013 just across the border from the band\u2019s home base of Sioux Falls, South Dakota. RKB will play the new songs live for the first time, performing the FIGHT LIKE A BAND album in its entirety, plus the Keel hits and songs from Ron\u2019s previous EMP release METAL COWBOY: RELOADED.<\/p>\n
Another major highlight of 2019 will be KEELFest, May 10th in Columbus, Ohio – a two-and-a-half-hour show paying homage to Keel\u2019s historic catalog, including performances from the classic Keel lineup of Marc Ferrari, Bryan Jay, and Dwain Miller, a full set from the Ron Keel Band (DC Cothern, Geno Arce, The Rev and Dakota Scott) and a special segment paying tribute to legendary Keel-fronted 80\u2019s Hollywood metal band Steeler. Bassist Rik Fox, who played on the historic Steeler album, will join Ron Keel and renowned guitar hero Mitch Perry, who took Yngwie Malmsteen\u2019s place in the band in 1983. Perry, now with glam-rock legends The Sweet, has also toured and recorded with MSG, Cher, Johnny Winter, Lita Ford and many others. Perry also made a guest appearance on Keel\u2019s 1986 album \u201cThe Final Frontier\u201d and has been a member of the Steeler\/Keel family for 35 years. <\/p>\n
KEELFest: Columbus 2019 will take place at the Alrosa Villa and is being promoted by Tong Productions. A special After Party Pass is available, so fans can have the unique opportunity to meet – and get their photo taken \u2013 with all three bands at once in the venue after the show\u2019s conclusion. The ticket link is online at http:\/\/ronkeel.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s a great way to keep the Keel reunion going while promoting the new Ron Keel Band album,\u201d Ron said. \u201cAnd the Steeler segment is really special because that\u2019s a piece of metal history, and I think the fans will be excited to see Rik, Mitch and I playing those songs on stage again for the first time in 35 years. It\u2019s gonna be a long night, the show is almost three hours\u2026and then one hell of a party when it\u2019s over.\u201d<\/p>\n http:\/\/emplabelgroup.com<\/a>
