WILLIE BASSE Announces Hollywood Show With Former Members Of BLACK SABBATH
December 2, 2008, 15 years ago
80s metal pioneer WILLIE BASSE has announced more live dates in support of his new album The Money Grind. Basse has scheduled a performance Saturday, December 6th at Hollywood, CA’s legendary Whisky A Go-Go.
Basse’s touring line-up consists of former BLACK SABBATH members Geoff Nicholls (keyboards) and Bobby Rondinelli (drums), along with guitarist Mitch Perry (MSG, TALAS). The band will be touring throughout 2009 in support of The Money Grind.
Basse is best known for his role as bassist/front man for the LA based legendary metalheads BLACK SHEEP, who were staples of Sunset Strip during the metal explosion of the 80s. Basse has now re-grouped and released a solo album The Money Grind on his own label New Empire Media. The album is an unapologetic approach to metal and emphasizes strong song writing skills that have been put on the back burner by most modern musicians.
Willie Basse recently announced he will be recording his sophomore album in January 2009 with legendary producer Andy Johns (LED ZEPPELIN, VAN HALEN). The effort is slated for summer 2009 release through Basse’s own label New Empire Media, which is currently scheduling release dates for a reissue Black Sheep's classic Sacrifice EP, Basse’s new reality TV series Rockstar Reality on DVD and a Rock For Recovery DVD which features concert footage of Black Sheep with MOTÖRHEAD next year.
