January 20, 2016, 8 years ago
Gerry McGhee, frontman for Canadian '80s rockers Brighton Rock, has checked in with the following update:
"Just listened to the remastered version of Young, Wild And Free; it sounds like it was meant to be. Special thanks to Harry Hess (Harem Scarem) on an awesome job. All three albums will be released and ready for the show in the Hammer. Get ready we are coming home!"
The show McGhee is referring to is a 30th Anniversary show for the band's debut album, Young, Wild & Free. It will take place on April 29th in Hamilton, Ontario at Molson Canadian Studio. Watch the band's official Facebook page for updates. Tickets are available here.
Brighton Rock played a one-off show in Toronto, Ontario on Friday, November 13th, 2015 at the Rockpile. Fan-filmed video of “Assault Attack”, a song the band hasn’t performed in over 25 years, can be viewed below.
Prior to the show, guitarist Greg Fraser posted the following message:
"I see a lot of reviews from concerts regarding the 'older' bands saying they no longer hit the high notes, they tune down, not the original members using backing tapes, etc. Well, come and see the BR show on Friday the 13th of November and you'll see the original members who still don't tune down, or use backing tapes, and yes, Gerald McGhee can still hit all the notes. It will be a night of no bullshit kick ass Rock N' Roll, warts and all!"
