Following the huge success of Danger Danger's Sweden Rock performance last year and the subsequent success of club shows in the USA, Danger Danger have confirmed that thay will indeed return to the UK in April. Buoyed by the return of original vocalist Ted Poley, Danger Danger are set to once again rock the UK. It's been thirteen long years (really!!) since Bruno, Steve and Ted last shared the stage in the UK.
Back then it was the Screw It Tour, opening for Kiss and headlining the legendary Astoria in London.
Having sold over a million albums, (the debut album going gold in the USA) and having single chart success with Bang Bang, Naughty Naughty and Monkey Business, Danger Danger have become one of the most endearing acts of the entire melodic hard rock era. This time around it will be five shows showcasing material from Danger Danger, Screw It and the hugely impressive Cockroach. And in response from many requests to the band they will be playing a longer set than usual, promising to dig into every album, playing everything you could wish for and more!!!
Bang Bang, Naughty Naughty, Monkey Business and I Still Think About You will all be making an appearance along with a whole bunch of stuff from the 'roach. In fact Steve West wants to play it all - I'm sure nobody would complain about that!!!
(thanks to Andrew McNeice/melodicrock.com)

D2 have also confirmed that they will perform for the first time in Greece immediately following the UK shows, and that there will be a few warm up shows in the NY area prior to their Eurpoean trip. Shows in Spain and Italy are upcoming as well. As usual, check the Tour Dates section of the website for the latest.

In other news, The finishing touches are being put on the long awaited " Live & Nude" CD featuring former lead vocalist Paul Laine. Bruno will be reuniting with long time friend Erwin Musper (who some of you remember, engineered and mixed D2's "Screw It!" as well as Paul Laine's "Stick It In Your Ear" and many recordings for Van Halen & The Scorpions to name a few) to master the recordings next week so it shouldn't be long before it drops!
Here's a sneek peek at the cover art!

Just wanted to write a quick THANK YOU! to all the people that traveled from near and far in the shitty weather to come see us this weekend. We had way too much fun playing for you guys!
We're working on some dates in early October in the area. As soon as we get confirmation, we'll post it up on the site.
Again, thank you all for your support. It means the world to us!
Hopefully we'll see y'all again at the next show ...

All the best,
Bruno

After a 12 year hiatus, Ted Poley, Bruno Ravel, Steve West & Rob Marcello returned to the big stage in a big way, rocking the sold out crowd at the 2004 Sweden Rock festival to 75 minutes of D2 classics. The show was a huge success, and the band received rave reviews from the press and all who attended.
Bruno Ravel said "It was awesome,! The fans were great, ...loud as hell, and I thought we put on a great show. Ted really impressed me. The guy has been away from the spotlight for years, and it was like he had never left!. Good job dude! It was also really cool to see some of the other bands on the bill like Judas Priest, Europe, Heart, UFO, The Scorps to mention a few ... We'd like to thank everyone involved with Sweden Rock for bringing us over. From the promoters right down to the stage hands, it was a wonderful experience that we'll soon not forget! We hope to be back next year to rock you harder and LATER (hint, hint!)

Photos from Sweden Rock 2004 can be seen in the images section of the D2 website.

Next up for D2 will be some scattered U.S. dates later this summer!

Ted Poley Returns!

You've heard all the rumors, now here's an official statement from founding members Bruno Ravel & Steve West.

"After 11 years apart, we are very pleased to welcome Ted Poley back to Danger Danger. Our past differences have been well documented, but time truly does heal old wounds. We buried the hatchet a few years ago, and have spoken from time to time since then. It's always great speaking with Ted and reminiscing about "the good old days." We had never given any serious thought about getting back together, until just recently.

Our short tour of Europe last year was quite an eye opener for us. We came to realize a few things from that experience. As most of you know, our set list was/is predominately filled with songs from our first 3 recordings, and although our fans were really supportive and excited to see us with Paul Laine fronting the band, a majority of our fans really wanted to see and hear the band, complete with the original voice that they so fondly remember. We actually felt kind of bad for Paul, because with the exception of 3 or 4 songs in our set, he was basically singing in a cover band, and that could never be truly fulfilling for a singer/songwriter as talented as he is. That's not the bands fault, or the fans fault, it's just the reality of the situation. We also felt that, with the recent formation of Paul's awesome new band "Shugaazer," and newly released CD, he was growing weary of his role in D2, and while he enjoyed writing & recording with us and loves us like brothers, maybe singing the older D2 material was just not cutting it for him anymore, and he wanted to focus his efforts on his own band right now. Our assumption was correct. This was an extremely tough decision for us to make because of our close friendship with Paul, but we knew that it was the best thing for all of us.

It was then, that we started entertaining the thought of reuniting with Ted. We then called Paul, and told him what we were thinking, and asked him how he felt about it, and he agreed it was the best thing for the fans, the band and himself."

Here's what Paul had to say about the recent events;

"What do you say after 10 great years working with two of the most talented people I have ever met? Thank you almost seems trite when you consider the wealth of memories and experiences I have gained. In the winter of 1993, when I showed up in New York City,it was all about the music. Working with Steve and Bruno gave me a chance to stand outside my own self as a writer, and look at music from another perspective. It's now 10 years later and it's all about the friendship.The brotherhood that is Danger Danger has defined an era in my life, and I will always be a richer man for it. For the fans and friends of the band that we met while touring ...thank you for always making me feel welcome. Every night I went on stage wondering if was going to be accepted,and every night I left feeling humbled by your gratitude towards us and the music.God bless you all...
A third era is dawning for Danger Danger now,and I hope it is as rich of an experience for Steve and Bruno as the last two. Ted is coming back to do some touring,and I think that it will be great for the fans to hear his amazing voice behind this band once again . I have always felt Ted was a great singer...very hard to fill his shoes on those songs from the first 2 albums ... I hope I did them justice. Let me also say welcome back! I know you must have missed playing with Danger Danger,because I know how much I will. But I know the fans of D2 will embrace this,and that is so worth it ...
In closing,I just want to say many humble thanks to everyone I met along the way....you changed my life......Paul"

"Paul has, is, and always will be our brother. The Viking! You'll find no bigger fans of Paul and his music than the two of us. From "Stick it your ear" to Shugaazer's "Shift," his stuff just flat out rocks.We hope that you will show him the same love and support that you have shown us all these years. We are, and will always be open to working with Paul again on future projects. That door will never be closed.

As of this moment, we have no plans to record any new D2 material. That could of course change in the future, but we've decided to focus our attention on touring for now. We are as excited to have Ted back, as he is to be back.The three of us are anxious to begin this next chapter for D2, and we look forward to all of you being a part of it."

See ya on the road ...
Bruno & Steve

Danger Danger has been busy in the studio working on their upcoming live cd "Live and Nude." Here's a quote from Bruno Ravel. "We weren't sure that we had recorded enough shows, but after returning from Europe this summer and listening to what was recorded, I was sure that we had the goods. Now it's time to get in the studio and assemble and mix it. The tracks sound killer, the fans were great and Rob (Marcello) played his ass off!" Look for it's release in the coming months.

"Rare Cuts" AVAILABLE NOW!

Rare Cuts is here and available now!, exclusively through dangerdanger.com, so get you hands on this slice of Danger Danger history. For more info, click on the "Rare Cuts" cover.

Here's a message from Bruno Ravel regarding their recent tour of Europe:

Hi Everyone!

I'm a bit jet lagged and tired from the tour, but I had to get this message out to thank all of our fans in the UK & Spain.
Before the first show in Dudley (UK), I have to admit I was a bit skeptical about what kind of reception we'd get from our fans and the amount of people that would show up. After all, it had been years since we'd performed live, we were bringing a new guitarist with us, and the "aor" rock scene is, let's face it, not what it used to be. We entered the rather large venue "JB's" and to my surprise, there was a really nice sized crowd. So far, so good! We hit the stage about an hour later and from the very first chord of "Grind", the crowd was with us all the way. To say we were stunned from the response of the fans, not only in Dudley, but for all the shows, is a major understatement. The fans were amazing! Fists pumping in the air and singing with us throughout each show! After the first few songs at "JB's", I looked over at the other guys on the stage and we were all smiling from ear to ear. We were BACK! It was like we were in a time warp and it was 1990 all over again! Fuckin' amazing! The UK leg of the tour ended up in London, which was another amazing night, and then it was on to Spain. We thought that there was no way that the shows in Spain could be better than what we had just experienced. Wrong again! The Madrid show was probably the highlight of the tour. This is in no way a slight on the great fans that came down to the shows in the UK, but that night in Madrid, the crowd response was UNFUCKINBELIEVEABLE! Definitely one of the top 10 shows of our career's!
Well, what else can I say?, We had such a blast on this tour, from the first show in Dudlley, to the last show in Barcelona. The fans were awesome and so supportive. We'd like to thank Mark Thomas, Neil Bennett and Chris Tudor "Pint and a half of lager ..." Jones of TB Records Limited (UK) & Jose and Laura from Taperock (Spain) for being such "standup" promoters and taking special care of us while we were there. A special "shout out" to Will, Rik (The flying Dutchman) and Rich, Thanks for the laughs and all your hard work! and last but not least the kickass support bands, Robin Black & The Intergalatic Rockstars (Rock On Guys!), China Doll & Pride.
We are eternally grateful to all of our fans in the UK and in Espania for showing us much love and making this tour one that we'll never forget. CHEERS! & THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING DANGER DANGER!
WE WILL MOST DEFINITELY BE BACK!
OEOEOEOE,OEOE,OEOEOEOE,OEOE!!!!!
All the best,
Bruno

Danger Danger's "Naughty Naughty Christmas," a song they had originally recorded for a Christmas compilation CD whose release, unfortunately had been delayed indefinitely, is featured in the film!
Steve West attended the premier of the film on Monday and was quite pleased with what he heard, so make sure you check it out!

In other D2 news, Bruno Ravel is recuperating very nicely from a painful emergercy appendectomy that was performed last week. He wanted to thank you all for your well wishes. It looks like he'll be well enough to perform on November 6th with WestWorld at a "Don Hill's" in NYC.

And lastly, Danger Danger's "Rare Cuts" CD is in it's final stages of preparation and should see the light of day before the end of the year. It'll make a great stocking stuffer!

That's all for now ...
