NELSON celebrate the 20th Anniversary of “(Can’t Live Without Your) Love and Affection\u201d hitting n.1 in Billboard announcing the release of their new album \u201cLightning Strikes Twice<\/span>\u201d<\/p>\n

On September 29th 1991 NELSON reached the height of the US Single charts with their evergreen hit \u201c(Can\u2019t Live Without Your) Love And Affection\u201d. Their music has stood the test of time and now 20 years later Matthew and Gunnar Nelson<\/span> explore fresh creative territory in the present with their new album, \u201cLightning Strikes Twice\u201d scheduled for first release in Europe on November 5th<\/span>, with US and Asian release to follow.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Magical melodic songwriting and soaring sibling harmonies continue to ensure that this dynamic duo<\/span> is still a vital part of the music scene\u2019s future. The new album goes straight back to the absolute brilliance of NELSON\u2019s first album, hence the title and an amazing set of songs that are going to restore the faith in NELSON.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter the Rain<\/span>\u201d was the debut multi-platinum album by NELSON in the early 1990s. They zoomed to number one with their hit song, “(Can’t Live Without Your) Love and Affection,\u201d which made history landing America\u2019s iconic Nelson family (bandleader Ozzie Nelson, rock legend Rick Nelson<\/span>, and twins Matthew & Gunnar) into the Guinness Book of World Records as the ONLY family in Entertainment with 3 successive generations of #1 hitmakers.<\/p>\n

NELSON\u2019s \u201cAfter the Rain\u201d record and tour became a phenomenon just prior to the rise of grunge. The last major success of the good time rock\u2019n\u2019roll<\/span> era, NELSON has had (1) Number One<\/span>, (4) Top Ten, and (5) Top 40 Billboard Hot 100<\/span> hit singles, plus (5) #1 MTV videos and has sold over 6.5 million albums worldwide!<\/p>\n

Nelson has always been synonymous with entertainment in America. Matthew and Gunnar follow Ozzie Nelson<\/span>\u2019s vision of embracing connecting with people and audiences through all forms of media. They have been doing television-hosting work for VH1 and E! Gunnar is also a standout reality TV star with VH1\u2019s \u201cCelebrity Fit Club<\/span>\u201d. Plus, Gunnar co-hosted LIFETIME Radio\u2019s nationally syndicated morning show.<\/p>\n

A&E<\/span> channel\u2019s Nelson Family \u201cBiography\u201d episode is still one of the top-rated \u2018Biography\u2019 installments. Matthew & Gunnar embraced this fascination by creating a touring show to celebrate the TV Nelsons<\/span> and the amazing career of their legendary father, Ricky, for whom LIFE magazine coined the phrase \u201cTeen idol\u201d. They share video clips & tell stories about their Hollywood family and perform their Pop\u2019s music live to audiences in RICKY NELSON REMEMBERED while separately touring as NELSON.<\/p>\n

NELSON has been headlining at major rock festivals<\/span> around the globe celebrating the 20th anniversary of \u201cAfter the Rain\u201d. Touring in China, the U.K. and of course the U.S. where they have also toured extensively with Peter Frampton<\/span> and Styx. In October 2010<\/span> the band will head to the UK to headline day 2 of the Firefest festival appearing with label mates Jimi Jamison<\/span>, Lynch Mob, Strangeways, Pretty Maids<\/span> amongst others. A world tour at the beginning of 2011 will follow.<\/p>\n

“\u2019Lightning Strikes Twice\u2019 has allowed us creatively, artistically and musically to resolve some unfinished business,” Gunnar says. “We\u2019ve had a blast going into the studio writing and performing some of our best songs. Plus, being back on the road with NELSON is living the dream all over again. New fans are discovering our music and original fans have shown incredible support all over the world. It ROCKS!\u201d<\/p>\n

Matthew adds, \u201cWho could believe we would be doing a NELSON sequel to \u2018After the Rain\u201d twenty years later? Gunnar and I feel it\u2019s our best work to date and should live up to its name \u2018Lightning Strikes Twice\u2019. We believe NELSON fans will agree with that forecast and hope they feel it\u2019s been worth the long wait.\u201d<\/p>\n
