Mr Big have revealed details of their eighth studio album, '...The Stories We Could Tell'.
The follow up to 2011's 'What If' is slated for a UK release on September 22 and sees the return of the band's original line up: Eric Martin on vocals, Paul Gilbert on guitar, Billy Sheehan on bass and Pat Torpey on drums. The band got together in June to begin recording at New Century Media and laid down the 13 new tracks in just a month.
Eric Martin said:
"We wrote songs individually and collectively on this new record. To me this is the album that we’ve threatened to make decades ago. A classic, groovin', blues-rock record with the spirit and spark of our rock and soul idols from the 70’s. Hells to the yeah it’s a Mr. Big album complete with all the trimmings. I think whether you've been with us from the beginning or just starting, you’re going to dig where we are coming from and where we’ve been."
The band recently announced that drummer Pat Torpey has been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, leaving him unable to perform his normal drumming duties on the band’s upcoming world trek. The band intend to announce a new drummer in the near future, while Torpey is expected to jump on the drums on suitable live songs as well as participating in the group’s acoustic set. Mr. Big kick off their European tour on October 17 at London's KOKO.
Mr Big Upcoming Tour Dates are as follows:
Fri October 17 2014 - LONDON KOKO
