Good to see the lads back together and touring. Especially touring in the States.

They’ve just released a freebie off the new album and were featured in a rocking Superbowl Ad.

Well the boys are back with David Lee Roth out front.

Sounds good to me, if nothing super out of the box.

Let me know what you think of it.

Mike is an extraordinary artist. I first heard him in the Steve Vai band crica 1996 and went on to learn he had played with Frank Zappa in 1980.

If you dig through his site at www.Keneally.com I’m sure you’ll find a link to his diary from the Zappa tours, called 1980 was a long time ago.

One of his side projects was to transcribe some of Vai’s music into Piano Concerto’s which is available around the place also.

Well worth checking out, there is a little bio below.

Enjoy,

Shane
