UFO bassist Barry Sparks has posted the following update online:

“Hello there! Well it’s been a very busy year so far. Let’s see if i can even remember what’s been going on…

Oh yes, just recently finished an east coast American tour with UFO, highlights would be of course the gig in Chicago… always the best town for a UFO show. Also toured all over Germany and we played an awesome outdoor rock festival in France alongside THIN LIZZY, BLACK LABEL SOCIETY and SCORPIONS.

B’Z New CD C,mon is out in Japan. Of course once again, it is a great album and The Grammy award winning Tak Matsumoto is playing guitar as good as ever. He is one of my favorite guitarists for sure and Koshi Inaba is one of the best front man singers alive! Shane Gaalaas, my fav drummer, always gets better and better every year. We just played three sold out shows in America - Vancouver, San Francisco and Los Angeles where the entire concert was streamed live on the internet for something like a quarter of a million people!

In between all of this we filmed a few videos for the new songs ‘Don’t Wanna Lie’ and ‘Cmon…’and check out the new Pepsi commercial featuring B’Z! All here on B’Z official YouTube channel

And my biggest fan, my beautiful little girl Serena Sparks has been touring the world and has been having a blast the whole time. Her latest favorite songs are ‘On The floor’ by J LO and ‘Price Tag’ by JESSE J. She also loves anything about Ariel from little Mermaid. The biggest news now is that my wife and I are very excitedly waiting for our little boy to be born very soon! We both can’t wait and I am pretty sure we will have another little rocker on our hands!

Here is a picture of Serena, thanks for stopping by!”
