BLACK 'N BLUE Reunion Charges Ahead With Festival Dates

July 7, 2008

BLACK 'N BLUE launched a reunion in 2008 featuring four original members — Jaime St. James (vocals),Jef "Woop" Warner (guitar),Pete Holmes (drums),and Patrick Young (bass). They are joined by second guitarist Shawn Sonnenschein, who has been in the fold since 2003 when the band had played a few dates. Sonnenschein is the replacement for original guitarist Thommy Thayer, who is currently in KISS.

The band was reactivated earlier this year after St. James' departure from WARRANT. "My four years in WARRANT were awesome," St. James said. "I made some lifetime friends and will always cherish that time in my life. That being said, it feels so good to sing the great BLACK 'N BLUE tunes again."

BLACK 'N BLUE is scheduled to play this year's Rocklahoma festival on Saturday, July 12. In addition, the band has also been added to the main stage at the Rock the Bayou festival in Houston on Labor Day Weekend where they are scheduled to perform on Sunday, August 31. Further show announcements are expected in the coming weeks. There is also a plan to tour Europe in early November, with further information to be announced shortly.

BLACK 'N BLUE will hit the studio in the coming months to complete the long-awaited "Hell Yeah!" CD. Plans for its release will be announced later this year.
