JOE SATRIANI Begins Recording New Album

October 30, 2007

Legendary guitarist Joe Satriani has entered the studio to begin recording his new album for a tentative April 2008 release. "Joining me this time are engineer/co-producer John Cuniberti, drummer Jeff Campitelli, bassist Matt Bissonette, multi-instra-mentalist Eric Caudieux, Zen Master Mike Manning and Mysterious Mike Boden, who shaved his head for the project!" Satriani writes on his web site. "There is no working title for the project as of yet... suggestions are always welcome."

Joe Satriani 20th anniversary reissue of the "Surfing with the Alien" LP came out in August 7.

"Surfing with the Alien" was the album that ignited Joe Satriani's career as a solo performer. The acclaimed guitarist's second full-length release, "Surfing with the Alien" was originally issued in October 1987 on Relativity Records. It became a left-field bestseller that reached No. 29 on the Billboard Top 200 and was certified platinum for U.S. sales of over one million copies. It was the first rock guitar instrumental album to reach Billboard's Top 200 Album Chart. It includes the charting hits "Satch Boogie" and "Surfing with the Alien", plus the Grammy-nominated "Always With Me, Always With You".
