Jeff Keller Management LLC has issued the following press release:

Longtime rockers LITTLE CAESAR have signed a worldwide management agreement with Jeff Keller Management LLC (management home for RATT’s

Stephen Pearcy and WHITE LION).

Nobody quite knew what to think of Little Caesar - longhaired, tattooed bikers singing such soulful, yet ballsy, rock music - when they arrived on the scene in Los Angeles in 1987. Little Caesar’s eponymous 1990 Geffen Records debut was produced by the infamous Bob Rock (producer of METALLICA's self titled 1991 multi-platinum release, MÖTLEY CRÜE’s Dr. Feelgood, and THE CULT’s Sonic Temple among others). The album was a no-nonsense collection of hard rock in the vein of '70s giants like BAD COMPANY and HUMBLE PIE, and was also brimming with classic R&B; influences, garnering widespread acceptance and positive reviews from the rock media. It also featured two soul covers, including a ballsy rendition of the classic ARETHA FRANKLIN track, 'Chain of Fools', which hit the Billboard Top 100 chart and received strong airplay nationwide on both rock radio and MTV.

The group toured extensively opening for such legendary acts as JANE'S ADDICTION, KISS, SOCIAL DISTORTION, IGGY POP, BILLY IDOL and LYNYRD SKYNYRD. They also headlined their own club tours, and appeared on TV's popular Arsenio Hall Show, The Rick Dee’s Show, and MTV’s Sex In The 90’s. Vocalist Ron Young was also featured in the movie Terminator 2 as a tough talking biker that gets into a fight with the film’s star, Arnold Schwarzenegger.

1992 would bring the bands’ second full-length album, Influence, which was produced by the well respected Howard Benson (who has recently produced releases for platinum artists like DAUGHTRY, PAPA ROACH, and P.O.D. among others). The band completed its first tour of Europe after the

release of the album and drew rave reviews and sold out crowds across multiple countries including a sold out headlining performance at the famous Marquee club in London.

In 2002, original members Ron Young (vocals), Loren Molinare (guitar), Tom Morris (drums), and Fidel Paniagua (bass) reunited alongside new guitarist, Chris Latham. Since the reformation, the band has played high profile shows at venues such as the House of Blues, the Key Club in LA, and the Knitting Factory among others.

In 2008, Little Caesar is prepared to move forward with a vengeance on a worldwide level with plans to launch a new website, release new music and a historical DVD, as well as touring in the US, Europe, and Japan. States Jeff Keller, “I am excited to be representing one of my all time favorite rock ‘n’ roll bands. It’s great to see that four original members are still together and sounding as great as ever”.

Further announcements are expected in the New Year.
