Gotthard Reissues At The Double

Are you missing out on your fix of ‘80s inspired cheesy hard rock? If so, Nuclear Blast have just the thing. They’re reissuing four albums by Swiss hard rockers Gotthard next month. The pair of double sets will feature two albums each with Lipservice (2005) & Domino Effect (2007) and Need to Believe (2009) & Firebirth (2012) both being released on Friday January 27.

Gotthard was founded in Lugano by Steve Lee and Leo Leoni in 1990. Their last eleven albums have all reached number one in the Swiss album charts, and they have sold over 2 million albums.

Original singer Steve Lee died in a motorcycle accident in 2010 and Gotthard released their first single with their new singer, Nic Maeder, as a free download prior to the release of Firebirth.

Lee’s voice was a mix of Whitesnake’s David Coverdale and Jon Bon Jovi and Gotthard’s music is also influenced by them as well as Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, Van Halen, Scorpions, and Aerosmith. They sound authentically ‘80s and their tunes stand up against those of predecessors.

Dan Owen Headline UK & Ireland Tour

Dan Owen has announced an extensive Irish headline tour this month with a UK tour to follow in April next year.

To end the year which saw UK and European tours with Birdy and Kaleo, Dan heads out on a nine-date headline tour of Ireland this month, starting at ruby sessions in Doyle’s this Thursday, December 8, and coming full circle to finish upstairs at Whelan’s, Dublin on December 18.

Following this Dan will play 15-dates in the UK, starting in Manchester on April 3 and finishing with his biggest London headline show to date at Hoxton Square Bar & Kitchen on April 26.

2016 has been a remarkable year for Dan. It saw him release the Open Hands And Enemies EP, which entered the top 40 iTunes album chart and went straight in at no.1 in the singer/songwriter chart upon release. It’s already spawned the critically acclaimed single ‘Moonlight’, and the viral hit ‘Made To Love You’.
