Swedish melodic rockers confirm further UK dates in the wake of first UK festival appearance at Download 2011.
Houston have been confirmed to appear at the Shepherd’s Bush Empire in London tomorrow, Saturday June 25th, as Special Guests to US blues rockers Cinderella.
This show follows hard on the heels of the Swedish band’s performance at the Download Festival on June 11th, and they are also confirmed to play at the annual Firefest event on October 21st, where they will be lining up alongside such AOR legends as Jimi Jamison, Warrant & Unruly Child.
At the moment, the band are planning their first ever visit to Japan, where their debut self-titled album (voted ‘AOR Album Of 2010’ by Classic Rock magazine) is causing something of a stir, plus a second nationwide tour of the UK; in celebration of this event, Houston will be releasing a brand new mini-album under the ‘Re-launch’ banner – a collection of classic AOR covers from artists such as New England & Touch, complete with three bonus acoustic tracks plus one freshly-written song, likely to be a duet with an as-yet-unnamed female singer.
It can, however, be announced that Airrace guitarist/songwriter Laurie Mansworth has provided guest guitar parts for Houston’s cover of ‘Brief Encounter’ – a song that originally featured on the Airrace album ‘Shaft Of Light’ (1984).
