White Lion +
Crimes Of Passion
Tuesday June

The Cluny
White Lion, as
a band, left their mark in the late 80's with a series of hit
singles and videos that defined the MTV generation. Thanks to
the likes of "Wait", "When The Children Cry", "Tell Me", "Broken
Heart" and "Little Fighter" the band played to sold out venues all
over the world. Touring the UK, both as a headline band and with the
likes of Motley Crue, White Lion proved themselves to be one of the
best live bands going but, in 1991 after releasing the Main
Attraction album, the band disbanded.
Fast forward
to 2003 and vocalist Mike Tramp once again resurrected the legend
that is White Lion. The line up built around Tramp, and with the talents
of Jamie Law on guitar, Claus Langeskov on bass, Henning Wanner on
keyboards and Troy Patrick Farrell on drums on board, have once again asserted
themselves as a legitimate musical force. Indeed the band will
release the first new White Lion studio record in over 16 years in
March 2008, entitled "Return of the Pride". According to singer Mike
Tramp the title could be interpreted in two ways "In a musical sense
we have taken a step back in time, rather than a step forward in
time. Over the course of this album lyrically and musically many
concepts and themes have been explored, maybe "Return Of The Pride"
means something entirely different".
Touring in support of
the album HardRockHouse is proud to present White Lion live at
Newcastle's The Cluny on Tuesday June 10th. As Tramp states "Our
mission is simple, to bring the classic sound of White Lion to the
people across the world that still live for that music"
