As a follow-up, scribe Carl Begai caught up with original Loudness singer Minoru Niihara to confirm that he has not left the band:
"Who can sing for me but Mike?" Niihara adds. "I think he's the right choice in such a situation. I believe Loudness and Mike will kick some ass in South America show. I’d love to go to sing in South America some day, in the near future."
Prior to speaking to Niihara, BW&BK; caught up with Vescera, who offered the following on th eupcoming festival one-off:
"I'm actually singing the whole set with Loudness. I was contacted by the US representation a few weeks ago, they asked if I would be interested in doing this festival with Loudness. We all felt that this would be awesome to make happen, so it's all been put together. It will be great to play with the guys again, I'm sure it will be killer. As far as set list, we're not sure as of yet. We're discussing this and should know soon."For information on the Live N' Louder festival go to this location.
