Tuesday, June 23, 2009 BAD COMPANY DIGITAL DOWNLOADS NOW AVAILABLE
The Band’s First Six Studio Albums, Plus Hits Collection 10 From 6, Surviving Members of Original Lineup Launch 10-Date U.S. Tour on June 17 Available Exclusively on iTunes on June 16, LOS ANGELES — The surviving members of the original Bad Company lineup — singer Paul Rodgers, guitarist Mick Ralphs, and drummer Simon Kirke — will reunite this summer for a 10-date U.S. tour that begins June 17 in Hollywood, FL at Hard Rock Live. A day before the tour kicks off, Rhino will celebrate the band’s return with the digital debut of Bad Company’s six Swan Song albums, and its multiplatinum hits collection 10 From 6. On June 16, Rhino will digitally release Straight Shooter, Run With The Pack, Burnin’ Sky, Desolation Angels, Rough Diamonds, and 10 From 6 exclusively on iTunes for $9.99 each, with the band’s eponymous debut available for $7.99. The albums will be released to all other digital service providers two weeks later on June 30. Bad Company’s multiplatinum hits such as “Can’t Get Enough,” “Feel Like Makin’ Love,” “Shooting Star,” “Movin’ On,” “Ready For Love,” and “Rock & Roll Fantasy” propelled them to the forefront of the ’70s arena rock movement. To coincide with the new tour and digital catalog releases, mastertones, ringback tones and sms tones for all six of the aforementioned tracks are available now for the first time from all mobile carriers. The original quartet – bassist Boz Burrell died in 2006 — debuted in 1974 as the first band signed to Led Zeppelin’s Swan Song label. Their first album topped the charts and was certified platinum five times thanks to the hits “Movin’ On,” “Can't Get Enough,” “Bad Company,” and “Ready For Love” The band returned the following year with Straight Shooter, a triple-platinum album that peaked at #3 and featured the hits “Feel Like Makin’ Love” and “Good Lovin’ Gone Bad.” Bad Company notched its third consecutive platinum album in 1976 with Run With The Pack, a Top 5 album that featured the hits “Simple Man” and “Young Blood.” The group hit #3 on the charts in 1977 with its follow-up, Burnin’ Sky. The band returned two years later with the double platinum Desolation Angels and in 1982 with its final Swan Song release, Rough Diamonds. In 1985, Bad Company released its double-platinum hits collection 10 From 6, the title a sly reference to the collection’s 10 songs from six albums. The band will release a new live DVD featuring the original lineup, Hard Rock Live, later this year. |

Friday, March 27, 2009 RODGERS AND BAD COMPANY TO DO 10 EXCLUSIVE CONCERTS
Paul Rodgers and Bad Company to do 10 exclusive concerts beginning in June with Rodgers' friends "The Doobie Brothers" kicking off eight of the concerts. *update Mar 30* Los Angeles, CA – March 30, 2009 – The original members of Bad Company have announced they will reunite for a series of 10 exclusive concerts in the U.S. this summer. The opening show will take place at the Seminole Hard Rock in Hollywood, FL on June 17 with select dates on the tour featuring The Doobie Brothers. Previously, founding members Paul Rodgers, Mick Ralphs and Simon Kirke (original member Boz Burrell passed away in 2006) performed a one-off concert at the very same venue on August 8, 2008, recording a live concert DVD before a sold-out crowd. The DVD, titled “Bad Company – Hard Rock Live” will be available exclusively at shows during the concert run and is tentatively set for official release this summer, August 8, via Image Entertainment. Prior to their one performance in 2008, the band had not performed together in nearly a decade. Rodgers, celebrating over four decades as a writing and recording artist (Free, Bad Company, The Firm, Queen + Paul Rodgers), released his debut solo DVD “Live in Glasgow,” which would go on to chart #1 and become certified Gold in Canada, as well as chart # 3 in the US and # 4 in the UK. Rodgers also released a new studio album titled “The Cosmos Rocks” with Queen + Paul Rodgers and capped 2008 with a sold-out Q+PR world tour. Most recently, Rolling Stone named Rodgers one of the “Top 100 Singers of All Time” and England’s Planet Rock Radio fan poll placed him at #3 on their “Greatest Voices of Rock” list. “These dates are to thank the fans for keeping the music alive,” said Rodgers. “I invited my friends The Doobie Brothers because I’ve always loved their music and them as people.” “It's great to be back with Paul and Simon,” said Ralphs. “We made great music together and had the time of our lives doing it. I'm really looking forward to getting back out there this summer.” Ralphs has announced plans to participate in five reunion shows with 70s rock band Mott the Hoople at the Hammersmith Apollo in London this October. “We had such a ball playing together again that we have decided to do some selective shows this summer,” said Kirke. “We’re also looking forward to the release of our live DVD.” Bad Company’s multi-platinum hits such as “Can’t Get Enough,” “Feel Like Makin Love,” “Rock Steady,” “Movin’ On,” “Shooting Star,” “Rock & Roll Fantasy” and “Bad Company” helped propel them to the forefront of the 70s arena rock movement. Rodgers’ concept to write a song titled the same as the bands’ name and album was a first. To this day, the multi-platinum Bad Co. album arguably remains one of the most accomplished debuts in rock history. Throughout the 70s Rodgers’ and Ralphs’ songwriting continued to yield hit after hit including “Seagull,” “Run with the Pack,” and “Burnin’ Sky,” making Bad Company one of the biggest concert attractions of the decade. The group’s multi-platinum award-winning greatest hits set 10 from 6 has become a record collection staple.

VH1 REPORT - CONGRESS RECOGNIZES PAUL RODGERS’ CONTRIBUTIONSEven though he’s spent 40 years making music, Paul Rodgers always takes time to help his community out. Most recently, the Bad Company vocalist worked with The Fender Center’s Kids Rock Free music education program in California. Through his efforts, the singer helped raise over $200,000 for the program and for his work, he was honored by Congress. Over the weekend, before a sold-out benefit concert that celebrated the 10th anniversary of The Fender Center, a Congressman presented Rodgers with a proclamation that recognized his philanthropy. A grateful Paul stated, “Music is the great connector. It connects us to our emotions and to each other. Thanks to the U-S Congress for recognizing the value of music.” Next up for Rodgers is a performance with Queen at the celebration of Nelson Mandela’s 90th birthday at London’s Hyde Park on June 27th. |
