VICIOUS RUMORS To Team Up With RIOT For Japanese Dates

February 9, 2007

VICIOUS RUMORS will team up with RIOT for two shows at Tokyo, Japan's Club Quattro on April 17-18. A European tour featuring VICIOUS RUMORS and "special guests" AGENT STEEL will follow in June.

As previously reported, original VICIOUS RUMORS bassist Dave Starr left the band once again as of January 23, 2007. Dave played bass on the first five VICIOUS RUMORS albums (and was featured in several other VICIOUS RUMORS DVDs, MTV videos, and band compilations). He returned to the band in 2005 to record the new "Warball" CD in 2006.

Commented Starr: "My history with VICIOUS RUMORS goes back nearly 23 years, and in many ways the band will always be a part of me. However, it's time for me to concentrate 100% of my time and energy on my own music, my own band, and playing guitar. My band WILDESTARR (along with incredible vocalist London Wilde) is something I have been working on for a few years now, and I took time off from this to work with VICIOUS RUMORS again and record the 'Warball' album. I am happy with the way the new VICIOUS RUMORS CD came out, and thrilled with the response it has received so far from the fans and press. It was great to play and record with VICIOUS RUMORS again. I remain on good terms with everyone in the band and wish them well in the future."

Look for the debut CD by WILDESTARR in late 2007. Dave describes the bands sound as "heavy, melodic, and intense."

VICIOUS RUMORS released "Warball" in the U.S. in October. Two short samples from "Warball" — "Sonic Rebellion" and "Mr. Miracle" — are available at the band's official web site.
