FALLING RED ANNOUNCE LINE-UP CHANGES, ENDORSEMENT & 2012 TOUR DATES
Hailed as ‘One of the best the UK has to offer’ – Kerrang!, Falling Red fire straight back into action in 2012 with several major announcements. Since their outstanding live performance at Hard Rock Hell V in December the band has been busy planning an industrious 2012. With their focus mainly on touring the majority of 2012 the band is delighted to confirm they’ll play the Lancashire Rock & Bike Show at Blackpool on 2nd June hosted by Satans Slaves MC.
The band is also pleased to announce that Vocalist/Lead Guitarist Rozey will now be endorsed by Vintage Guitars. Rozey has a great reputation as a superb frontman, and combined with his first class guitar playing, Vintage feel he is a great ambassador for the brand.
2012 will also see a new look to Falling Red. After lengthy discussions towards the end of 2011, Falling Red was extremely saddened to accept the fact that the band would need to continue without both Matty Penn & Shane Kirk. Shane Kirk, a founding member, and in many ways, the heartbeat of the band and Matty Penn both felt they now needed to concentrate their time on their personal lives for the present. Falling Red will be forever indebted to both of them for their contribution to creating a band that stands for what it believes in, and not what others expect them to be.
Rozey & Dave are really pleased to announce that Dann Marx (ex Slip) will take on Bass duties, while Jade Starr (ex Fallen Mafia) completes the new line up on Guitars.
The band begins the year with two low key dates at:
D&P, Preston on Jan 22nd & Black Bull, Gateshead on Jan 29th
Then full steam ahead as they join Irish Rockers Trucker Diablo at Trillians, Newcastle on Feb 24th & an extravagant Headline show at The Brickyard, Carlisle on Feb 25th, with Special Guests Alexa De Strange.
