LIVING COLOUR Singer To Front New Jersey Band SEKOND SKYN
September 22, 2010Corey Glover, lead singer of the two-time Grammy Award-winning band LIVING COLOUR, will be lending his talents to New Jersey hard rock/metal up-and-comers SEKOND SKYN for two shows — Friday, September 24 at the Saint in Asbury Park, New Jersey and Saturday, September 25 at Dingbatz in Clifton, New Jersey.
SEKOND SKYN and Glover met during LIVING COLOUR's "Chair in the Doorway" tour where SEKOND SKYN was the support act. While the Jersey natives had long been fans of LIVING COLOUR's work, SEKOND SKYN left lasting impressions on the members of LIVING COLOUR. This past spring, when SEKOND SKYN lost its singer, the idea came up to see if Corey would be willing to come out and play some shows just for fun. "It sounded really good!" Glover said of the union. "We're going to have a good time."
Glover is no stranger to moonlighting: he has a full-time side/solo project called VICE, he played the role of Judas in the touring company of "Jesus Christ Superstar" and acts regularly in independent films and stage productions.
LIVING COLOUR hits the road again as part of the fall 2010 Experience Hendrix Tour — playing along with Steve Vai, Kenny Wayne Sheppard and many more — beginning October 26.
As for SEKOND SKYN's permanent singer situation, the band is tight-lipped. However, they admit to having interest from a well-known singer and when the time is right, there will be a formal announcement. "This is just something that's really cool — getting to jam with Corey. And this just gives us a chance to go out and play, and that's what we love to do," says drummer, Tommy Spano.
SEKOND SKYN is currently demoing new material and is looking forward to being back on the road by the spring in support of its next release.
