 HEADCAT ‘Walk The Walk, Talk The Talk’ Lemmy Kilmister: vocals, bass, harmonica Slim Jim Phantom: drums, percussion Danny B. Harvey: guitar, piano Hear track ‘American Beat’ here http://www.netinfect.de/head-cat-american-beat Lemmy , Slim Jim Phantom and Rockabilly legend Danny B. Harvey have teamed up in a high-energy ‘take no prisoners’ combo just to remind the world how rock’n’roll is suppose to sound. When it comes to real rock’n’roll these three guys have lived it, breathed it, bled it and have set the lifestyle example that all you rebels, rockers and outcasts should strive to follow – the ‘Mad Men’ of HeadCat are coming! HeadCat was formed in 2000 after recording an Elvis Presley tribute special to which all band members contributed. Slim Jim Phantom (Stray Cats), Danny B. Harvey (Lonesome Spurs / The Rockats) and Lemmy Kilmister (Motörhead) were all inspired by this music. Their love for rockabilly, blues and rock ’n’ roll is still unbroken and HeadCat is more vital than ever. Slim Jim Phantom was born in Brooklyn and listened to his parents’ jazz records. At the age of ten he took up the drums although he always says that the drums chose him. He is an exceptional drummer who cemented his place among rock royalty long time ago and inspires and excites audiences worldwide. Danny B. Harvey is Texas born and also discovered his love for music very early. He started playing the guitar at the age of six and even got a full scholarship to study classical guitar. He developed a finger picking guitar style that’s very unique and based on his idols Merle Travis and Chet Atkins but also a result of his classical-technique education. Lemmy Kilmister was born and raised in England and started to play the guitar at the age of sixteen. With a laughing eye he always said that he only took the guitar to impress the girls. He is an autodidact and changed early to bass as he stated he wasn’t a good guitar player. After founding Motörhead in 1975 he knows the ups and downs in the business and has reached the status of an Icon all over the world. The sound, style and image of HeadCat playing songs of a bygone era remains as fresh today as ever and the band combines the ever young rockabilly with their amazing energy, power and love to music. Again, these guys are living it, breathing it and bleeding it – true rock ’n ’rollers! Twelve fantastic songs for ‘Walk The Walk, Talk The Talk’ were chosen easily. ‘American Beat’ is a song written in the studio – Lemmy had the words and the rest came together very quickly. ‘American Beat ‘ is ready to conquer the radio stations and make everyone wanna dance. ’I Ain’t Never ‘ is one of the songs Lemmy really likes and Danny knew it – a real country, rockabilly number, full of love and ready to take you drifting away. ‘Let It Rock’ is one of their favorite Chuck Berry tunes – The Stones did it a lot in their live show in the 70′s – HeadCat plays a different version. ‘Something Else’ is a classic Eddie Cochran – Lemmy came on stage with the Stray Cats and jammed on it at a show in the 90′s at Hammersmith Odeon so it came quite natural to take this on the record as well. The new album ‘Walk The Walk, Talk The Talk’ is due to be released on July 4th, 2011 and has been recorded at Sage & Sound Studios in Hollywood, produced by Cameron Webb. 1.

Cee Lo Green has been forced to reschedule his imminent UK tour, due to scheduling difficulties. The dates – his first on these shores since the release of his global smash hit #1 single ‘Forget You’, his recent genre-defining album ‘The Lady Killer’,four GRAMMY and two BRIT Award nominations – will now commence on March 26th.

Firmly established as one of the most compelling live vocalists around following his memorable performances as part of Gnarls Barkley, Cee Lo Green’s tour now runs as below:

March
26th – Glasgow, ABC
27th – Manchester, Academy
28th – Birmingham, O2 Academy
29th – London, O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire
31st – Bristol, O2 Academy

Tickets for the original shows remain valid for these rescheduled dates. Any remaining tickets are available at a price of £25 for London and £23.50 for all other venues, all tickets are subject to booking fees and are available from http://www.livenation.co.uk

Cee Lo Green will follow the tour by releasing the new single ‘Bright Lights Bigger City’ on April 4th. The single is the third to be taken from ‘The Lady Killer’ following the all-conquering ‘Forget You’ and its Top 20 follow-up ‘It’s OK.’

Featuringcollaborators including Salaam Remi and Fraser T. Smith, ‘The Lady Killer’ isthe album Cee Lo was destined to make. It seals his rep: not only as a writer, producer and performer of unrivalled pizzazz, chutzpah, inventiveness and genius; but as a singer whose voice can nail an emotion – be it pain, yearning, anger, sarcasm, love, lust, frustration – like no other. Cee Lo Green stands alone.

The album has cemented Green’s status as both the greatest male voice in American music today and earned rave reviews from publications including The Sunday Times (5*), The Independent (5*), Q (4*), News of the World (5*), The Mail on Sunday (5*), Mojo (4*), The Sun (4/5), The Guardian (4*), The Evening Standard (4*)and The Mirror (4*).
