Former ACCEPT Singer Bringing BANGALORE CHOIR Back To Life

March 2, 2008

Former ACCEPT and current GYPSY ROSE/BANGALORE CHOIR singer David Reece has issued the following update:

"Well, for srarters, the [new GYPSY ROSE] record is finished and wow!!! We're scheduled for a May 19 release [via Escape Music]. I really feel that this record has it all: Killer songs, great melodies, crunching rhythms and screamin' vocals.

"I've been out of the loop for awhile because, well, truthfully, I was sick of the bullshit! But my blood wouldn't let go of music, so when Khalil Turk [Escape Music] and the boys in GYPSY ROSE asked me to come over and after hearing the songs, it felt right.

"We started the record in May 2006 and finished in August 2006. And in between we did some shows as what else do you do. We plan to tour Europe and Asia this year so we are are inviting all you sickos to be apart of the madness!!!

"Also John Kirk [BANGALORE CHOIR guitarist] and I are writing new tunes for a BANGALORE CHOIR release [that] should be done for an 08 release as well."

Reece previously stated about his decision to bring BANGALORE CHOIR back to life: "Over the last few years, I've been very honored by all of the chatter and communication, regarding my career in music. After long consideration I have decided to finally get with the program and try and reach out to my friends and fans worldwide.

"As some of you may know I have fallen under the radar the past few years, mostly because of my experiences with the music business, as I refer to as the necessary evil of recording and record companies. My experience with these entities was to say the least a nightmare! Mainly because of the usual story of poor management, timing, and, of course, that surge that shelved of us '80s guys, THE GRUNGE MOVEMENT! Which, of course, as most predicted, was a crock of shit. As most of you know, record companies clamor for what is hot today and not what the mass of listeners are loyal to.

"So after long contemplation to you, fans, as a sign of my utmost appreciation for you all, I am currently writing another album with longtime friend and guitarist John Kirk from the days of BANGALORE CHOIR. The music promises gutsy hooks, vocals and melodies, which we have all come to expect! We plan to release this record in the summer of 08 via the web."
