DOKKEN: 'Rockline' Interview, Performance Available For Streaming

June 14, 2008

DOKKEN's Don Dokken and Jon Levin took part in an interview and the entire band performed live on the nationally syndicated radio show "Rockline" on Wednesday, June 11. The program is now available for streaming at this location.

DOKKEN's new album, "Lightning Strikes Again", was released on May 13 via Rhino Records. The CD is DOKKEN's tenth studio album and it "marks a true and definite return" to the band's classic sound, according to a press release. 'We have been more focused on this project than any we've done in years," says Don Dokken. "Yes, it has taken a long time but in the end the fans will have a DOKKEN CD that is as good as any we did in the '80s. Our goal is to deliver a CD that will shake up the rock world... and so far everyone says it is the best DOKKEN CD since '86. It's time that a band from our era did something special and prove that our brand of music is still valid. And I think we're close. If it does not have success, it won't be because we didn't give it a thousand percent effort."

In addition to the regular European version of "Lightning Strikes Again", Frontiers Records released a special limited edition of the CD on April 11 in a glossy slipcase. The limited-edition version includes an exclusive bonus track for Europe, entitled "Sunset Superstar".

DOKKEN's current lineup is as follows:

Don Dokken (vocals)
Mick Brown (drums)
Jon Levin (guitar)
Barry Sparks (bass)
