LOS ANGELES – Release – Iconic rock band +LIVE+ has released a new single, “Lady Bhang (She Got Me Rollin’)” featuring Stone Temple Pilots’ Dean DeLeo on guitar.
“I’m so excited for our fans to hear LIVE’s first new release in six years with “Lady Bhang (She Got Me Rollin’)”, said +LIVE+ founder, Ed Kowalcyzk.
Kowalcyzk said it was “a blast” to produce the the track totally “in-house” with LIVE’s Zak Loy (lead guitar) and Nick Jay (keyboards) producing, with rhythm section grooves by LIVE’s Johnny Radelat (drums) and Chris Heerlein (bass) and the slide guitar-stylings of Dean DeLeo of STP.
“We can’t wait to play it onstage this summer with Dean as we share the stage for a nationwide tour with Stone Temple Pilots,” Kowalcyzk said. “Lyrically, it’s that last cocktail before closing time, that final lap of a race that’s gone on too long…the song is also a kind of thank you letter to the late Junior Kimbrough and his hill-country brethren for all the inspiration they have given me over the years with their unique and strikingly original blues music.”
Dean DeLeo said: “Love the track and loved playing on it. Thank you for letting me be a part of it.”
The multi-platinum selling bands join forces to celebrate the 30th anniversary of two of the most beloved albums of the 90s, Throwing Copper, and Stone Temple Pilots Purple. Fans can expect a night of hit songs from those albums and a full set of music by each group spanning generations.
When Stone Temple Pilots returned to the studio in 1994 to record their second album, the band was facing high expectations set by its debut album, Core, which sold more than 8 million copies and won a Grammy Award. The release of Purple would cement their place as one of the most definitive bands of their generation releasing the singles “Interstate Love Song,” “Vasoline,” and “Big Empty” on its way to selling more than 6 million copies.
Throwing Copper, the third studio album from +LIVE+ produced by Jerry Harrison of The Talking Heads, set alternative radio on fire with consecutive hit singles, including “Selling the Drama,” “I Alone,” “All Over You,” and the radio mainstay, “Lightning Crashes,” which was #1 at Modern Rock Radio for 10 consecutive weeks. Throwing Copper went on to sell over 10 million copies.
