Los Angeles heavy metal power trio NINTH CIRCLE will be celebrating drummer Dave Davis’ two year anniversary on November 7th by supporting DOKKEN at the Brixton in Redondo Beach, CA.

“Dave has brought new life, energy and direction to Ninth Circle”, says bassist/vocalist Frank Forray. “Two years ago we had just finished the recording of The Power of One, agreed to the release date of December 2008, we had booked the tour and then our drummer had gone AWOL. It took Dennis and I about two weeks to find Dave and about two minutes to determine he was the right guy for the job… and we we’re right!”
"That's an important point", guitarist Dennis Brown adds. "When you are playing the music you love, you want to play with someone who is as enthusiastic about the music as you are. A session drummer may get you by on a recording, but especially live.. you want someone back on the kit who wants to be there. So many artists come together out of business relationships that it is good when you can find someone the 'old fashioned way'."

Dave Davis has truly pushed Ninth Circle to new heights musically and performance-wise.

“With Dave onboard we are able to really push ourselves musically”, explains Frank. “He has opened new doors and avenues for Ninth Circle to explore in terms of performance and song writing. I think his first time on stage with us he opened up the show with a drum solo. That was a really nice way to break him in to Ninth Circle. No pressure, huh?” Plus Dave is a really good guy and crowd favorite. He’s easy going and fans always enjoy meeting and hanging with him.”
"Has it been two years? Crap, my parole officer is going to be looking for me..." (laughs), adds Dave.

"Time is relative, but if your relatives don't have time for you, that's the time when you need relatively more time...or so I've been told - but it was by a relative who didn't have time to fully explaing it to me." (more laughs) "Uncle Albert, he always was relatively strange..."
"But no, seriously, I like being in this band...and in a 3-piece band, it is always easier to make those important career decisions...like what toppings to get on your pizza!"

Ninth Circle prepares to bring their rock ‘n’ roll party to the Brixton in Redondo Beach, CA on November 7th as they open for Dokken. Frank adds, “This will be a great way to celebrate Dave’s second anniversary with us, with a huge show with Dokken. We played with Dokken in ’09 in the middle of our Power of One Tour. It’s going to be great to catch up with Don and boys.”
