UFO Guitarist VINNIE MOORE: Drum Tracks For New Solo CD Complete

October 3, 2006

The drum tracks for UFO guitarist Vinnie Moore's new solo CD are now complete after last week's session at Spin Studios in Queens, New York with Van Romaine [BLOOD, SWEAT AND TEARS, KANSAS, JOAN OSBORNE, BILLY JOEL, STEVE MORSE] on drums and Tim Conklin engineering. "We recorded 11 songs and it all went really well!" says Moore. "Van did an amazing job, and Tim got some really great drum sounds. I'll be finishing up the guitars next, at my home studio."

UFO's new album, "The Monkey Puzzle", came out last week via SPV Records. The follow-up to 2004's "You Are Here" was recorded at Area 51 Studios with producer Tommy Newton, who also worked with the band on their last CD and who recorded the material for the band's "Showtime" live album.

The original members, Phil Mogg (vocals),Pete Way (bass),Paul Raymond (guitar, keyboards) and recently returned drummer Andy Parker, are scheduled to start their extensive world tour in October 2006. Parker was part of the UFO lineup that performed the group's debut show in the late Sixties and has returned to replace Jason Bonham, who left to join FOREIGNER. Also on board is Moore, who has been part of the permanent lineup since the last studio album, "You Are Here".

UFO's "Showtime" live CD/DVD was recorded at Pumpwerk in Wilhelmshaven, Germany on May 13, 2005.
