Red Reign to open for Quiet Riot and Tesla for four shows this summer
US hard rockers Red Reign will be opening for Quiet Riot for one gig and Tesla for three shows this summer.
Chipster PR‘s press release states in part (with slight edits):
“Richmond, Virginia-based rockers Red Reign specialize in a sound that recalls vintage rock and metal acts of the mid to late ‘80s, as evidenced by their just-released self-titled EP, which features the single “Not That Way.” So it will undoubtedly be a perfect fit when the group (which features singer/guitarist Carlton “Bubba” McMichael, guitarist Stevie Shred, bassist Larry Moore, and drummer Sammy Lee) opens a show on June 23rd with Quiet Riot, and three shows from August 3rd-5th with Tesla.
“WOW, we are so excited to join Quiet Riot for a show in Lynchburg, Virginia,” says Sammy Lee. “Seeing Frankie Banali for the 1st time was unbelievable to me as a drummer. I loved his booming sound and will now get to see and hear it up close and personal. And Red Reign is extremely excited to be supporting Tesla, one of the premier hard rock bands out today. I remember watching Tesla‘s videos all over MTV back in the day and now we get to share the same stage with them…it is surreal.”
The self-titled EP, was overseen by Grammy-nominated producer, David Ivory (Halestorm, Roots, Silvertide). “After signing with Chipster PR, we were directed to David Ivory, to help with the rewriting and rearrangement of songs for our upcoming CD,” explains Sammy. “David made the songs flow better rhythmically and brought in fresh ideas, to build on the original foundation of the songs…
One of the EP’s standout tracks is the “Not That Way” (which will be performed at the upcoming show), which the band’s McMichael describes as “one of those songs that is about a love gone bad and then the girl realizes she made a mistake in our relationship and wants to get back into the same relationship she poisoned. But the guy has gotten over her and moved on.”…
Other tracks include “Chains” (“About the feelings of being held back and looking for that escape”), “Toxic” (“The feeling of hopelessness in a relationship”), “Red Reign” (“The anger side of a relationship”), and “What is Love For” (“About you pouring yourself into a relationship, knowing it’s not going to go far”).
And in August, Red Reign will undoubtedly win over many new fans – when they join forces with Tesla!”
Upcoming Red Reign tour dates:
June 23rd Phase 2 in Lynchburg, Virginia, USA (with Quiet Riot)
August 3rd Embassy Theatre in Ft Wayne, Indiana, USA (with Tesla)
August 4th Taft Theater in Cincinnati, Ohio, USA (with Tesla)
August 5th 20 Monroe Live in Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA (with Tesla)
