Steve Lukather released his new solo album in February for the European market. You can gather a lot of information about this cool album here. Interesting: Both Steve Lukather as well as Leland Sklar, who plays bass on the album, will take part in the "Rock Legends Adventure 2008", which is organized by Music Networx in May, 2008.

Just a couple of weeks to go and there will be "Rock Legends Adventure 2008" with an amazing line-up for every music fan. Stars like Steve Lukather, John Miles, Ian Paice and even the German artist Uwe Ochsenknecht along with other famous rock legends. The event will take place in Cologne, Germany again. The location is the "E-Werk", where both rehearsals and the final concert will happen. 

Just have a look at www.rocklegendsadventure.com - it's worth it.

It was a wonderful event. This year Rock Legends Adventure took place for the first time. 20 hobby musicians participated in Cologne where they worked and lived together with All Stars like John Miles, Bobby Kimball, Ollie Marland and others.

In May 2008 they will do it again. It is supposed to become as unforgettable like the first time. So if you are interested, you should have a look at www.rocklegendsadventure.com for further information. Although it is not for free, it's worth every penny.

Yeah! Just found some information about The Urge's next tour on the web.

They will play quite a lot of gigs then, starting in October 2007. I hope I can make it to at least some of them.

Last night The Urge was shown on German television. Their gig in Bonn, Museumsmeile earlier this year was the highlight of WDR Rockpalast.

The WDR presented the whole concert with impressive pictures. Though it was shown very late (around 2:00 a.m.) it was worth not going to bed! In contrast to the bands presented before The Urge looked very professional on stage. Beautiful light and some amazing close-ups - people could gain an insight to what happened on stage!
