May 29, 2009, 15 years ago
UFO drummer and co-founder Andy Parker spoke with Patrick Douglas from Greatfallstribune.com about the band's 40th anniversary and their 20th studio album, The Visitor, which is due out 16th via Steamhammer/SPV.
"It's extremely exciting for me," Parker said in an interview with the Tribune from his home in Texas. "For the rest of the guys in the band, 40 years after the conception to still be doing it and still have a chance to make an album and put it out, for a lot of bands, that's not an option anymore.""I'm really enjoying this because this is where the band was born. We came out of that blues boom in the '60s in England," adds Parker. "When bands like ZEPPELIN and that were getting started ... and the YARDBIRDS and all this kind of blues. American blues influenced British musicians and that's kind of where we started. It's almost like we've come full circle and we're revisiting that. It's great for me."
