DOKKEN Guitarist Comments On ROCKLAHOMA, Upcoming East Coast Run
July 25, 2007DOKKEN will embark on an East Coast beginning on July 26 at Meadowbrook Farms Musical Arts Center with POISON / RATT / VAINS OF JENNA in Gilford, NH; July 27 at Jaxx in Springfield, Virgina, with PRETTY BOY FLOYD; and July 28 at Mulcahy's in Wantagh, NY.
DOKKEN guitarist Jon Levin stated about the group's upcoming East Coast run, "I am really looking forward to it. We haven't played on the East Coast in quite a while."
He continued, "The Rocklahoma show was great. I was amazed at how massive the crowd was. They were all so responsive that it gave me a rush of energy playing for them. Hearing that many people singing the words to 'Alone Again' was great.
"I grew up on Long Island so for me the Mulcahy's show is a hometown show. I hope to see some old friends there. Jaxx in Virginia is always a great place to play. The fans in Virginia are great."
DOKKEN is currently in the studio putting the finishing touches on its upcoming release, "Lightning Strikes Again".
"Lightning Strikes Again" will be released via Rhino Records in the U.S. and Frontiers Records in Europe. The follow-up to 2004's "Hell to Pay" will feature the lineup of Don Dokken (vocals),Jon Levin (guitar, ex-WARLOCK),Barry Sparks (bass, TED NUGENT, YNGWIE MALMSTEEN, MSG) and Mick Brown (drums).
Rhino Records in March revisited DOKKEN's early days with a pair of releases packed with previously unissued material. The first release, a CD entitled "From Conception: Live 1981", captures DOKKEN in an early, previously unseen concert recorded before the band signed with Elektra. The second release is the DVD debut of the band's first home video, the platinum-certified "Unchain the Night", which is expanded with unreleased videos and new extended interviews with the band.
