Shark Island was once the house band at the world famous Gazzaris on the Sunset Strip. Signed to Epic Records in 1989 the band released their debut album \u201cLaw of the Order\u201d, and also saw the tracks \u2018Dangerous\u2019 and \u2018Father Time\u2019 featured in the movie Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure, as well as the song \u2018My City\u2019 from the movie Point Break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Richard would go on to be part of the short lived supergroup Contraband which also featured Michael Schenker (Scorpions, UFO), and members of L.A. Guns, Ratt and Vixen. They released one album in 1991 before disbanding.
In 2018 the band started work on Bloodline which was recorded in Croatia and Los Angeles. It was produced by Alex Kane (Life Sex Death, Enuff Z\u2019Nuff) and mixed by the legendary Sylvia Massy (Aerosmith, Smashing Pumpkins, Red Hot Chili Peppers). It was limited to self release before being picked up by Deko Entertainment.
Richard states, \u201cBloodline 2.020 is an updated version of Bloodline. Almost a year ago we released Bloodline to essentially our long time friends and followers. It sold out in no time and I am grateful for the support, also happy to have struck a chord with all, thank you. We found ourselves unable to keep up with the demand from all over the world, and partnered with Deko Entertainment to manage world distribution.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now Bloodline 2.020 will hit stores in November and features the unreleased extended version of \u201cRocks on the Rocks\u201d and the newly recorded \u201cSomeday\u201d which was just released.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Listen to \u2018Someday\u2019 here: https:\/\/smarturl.it\/SharkIsland<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Richard on \u2018Someday\u2019, \u201cMany were surprised and taken by the dark tune \u2018ON and ON\u2019. So in an effort to complete the fatalistic\u00a0muse idea, Christian Heilmann, and I wrote the companion song \u2019Someday\u2019, that has been haunting me for a considerable\u00a0amount of time.\u00a0Although a reflection of myself, many have been brought to tears at the message it contains. It is largely for a man’s\u00a0point of view, but I have a feeling it can speak to women as well.\u00a0As always,\u00a0I pray that the work inspires.\u201d This Bundle Includes the Following Items:<\/strong> \uf0b7 One (1) SHARK ISLAND \u201cBloodline 2.020\u201d CD \u201cBloodline 2.020\u201d Tracklist:<\/p>\n\n\n\n FOR MORE INFORMATION, VISIT:\u00a0 Shark Island was once the house band at the world famous Gazzaris on the Sunset Strip….<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":14238,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[23,2],"tags":[1357,1358],"class_list":["post-14237","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-music-news","category-news","tag-richard-black","tag-shark-island"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14237","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14237"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14237\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":14239,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14237\/revisions\/14239"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14238"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14237"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14237"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14237"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
