Ex-RATT Frontman To Release New ARCADE CD/DVD Package

August 21, 2006

According to posting on former RATT frontman Stephen Pearcy's official web site, Stephen will be releasing a new ARCADE CD/DVD package In November. The DVD will contain live footage, recording sessions, photo shoots, backstage and more. Pearcy also has plans to reunite the original ARCADE for a tour. Stephen said, "It is likely I will have the original members back with me for some unfinished business. ARCADE had no boundaries and I'll throw down the best of RATT music in there somewhere! ARCADE will be announcing special dates late for 2006."

As previously reported, Pearcy and original RATT bassist Juan Croucier will team up for the "Metal in America" tour 2006, set to take place September-November. Pearcy and his RAT BASTARDS will play all the RATT hits and music from ARCADE, as well as Stephen's solo material. Croucier will be fronting this power trio — also featuring John Medina (drums and vocals) and Jeff Cohen (guitar and vocals) — and handling bass guitar as well. Juan will be on as many shows as his schedule will permit. These two ex-RATT bandmates — who haven't performed together in over a decade — will be "laying it down" for an end-of-night encore that will surely leave hardcore RATT fans screaming "back for more!" Exact cities and dates will be announced soon.

Pearcy released a live acoustic album, called "Stripped", in May. It features RATT hits like "Round and Round" and "Lay It Down", as well as covers of LED ZEPPELIN's "Bring It On Home" and FLEETWOOD MAC's "Oh Well".
