Buzz is Building For The Debut Album By The Rides

STEPHEN STILLS, KENNY WAYNE SHEPHERD AND BARRY GOLDBERG FORM “THE RIDES,” A BLUES-ROCK SUMMIT WITH A DEBUT ALBUM–“CAN’T GET ENOUGH”–PRODUCED BY JERRY HARRISON SET FOR RELEASE AUGUST 27

The Rides, the new all-star blues-rock group featuring legendary songwriter Stephen Stills, guitar slinger Kenny Wayne Shepherd and venerable Electric Flag keyboardist Barry Goldberg are building quite a buzz with radio airplay of their first single, “Don’t Want Lies” exploding in Los Angeles–currently Top 10 at tastemaker radio station KCSN (88.3) (as well as exciting listeners on Spotify). This is resulting in significant preorders at Amazon (currently # 5 on the blues preorder chart) and iTunes (purchasing links below).  In addition, the album’s momentum has been propelled by exclusive song streams debuting on www.RollingStone.com, Wall Street Journal and Huffington Post with a 4th set to debut on www.Grammy.com on August 7th.

The Rides

Says Kenny Wayne Shepherd, “Writing and recording with Stephen and Barry has been a most enjoyable experience for all of us. I believe the chemistry is obvious in our performances.”

The multi-generational outfit’s debut album, Can’t Get Enough, is set for CD, digital, and vinyl release August 27 on 429 Records. Featuring four co-written originals, a handful of covers, and a vintage, previously unrecorded Stills gem, Can’t Get Enough was inspired by–and is an homage to–the now-classic 1968 album Super Session, which featured Stills on guitar on one side, and the late Mike Bloomfield on the other (Bloomfield had founded Electric Flag with Goldberg, who also played on Super Session, as did Blood, Sweat & Tears keyboardist Al Kooper).  The Rides will embark on a world tour beginning in September (See dates below).

Cuts Like A Diamond features a myriad of songs that can only be categorized as “classic Little River Band.” The first single, “The Lost And The Lonely,” released in July 2013, is a poignant ode to the sacrifice made by the military men and women of the world.  Other highlights include the funky, free-wheelin’ groove of “You Dream I’ll Drive,” and “Love Is,” the album’s closer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-6qIJI4bns

Fronted by 34 year-LRB veteran Wayne Nelson, (lead vocals, bass), Little River Band now features an energized line up of: Richard Herring and Greg Hind on guitars and vocals; keyboardist/ vocalist Chris Marion; and drummer Ryan Ricks.

The band was formed in 1975 in Melbourne, Australia with several members that had previously played in successful Aussie bands. They soon became the darlings of American radio programmers, and from 1976 through the early 90s, the hits that just kept coming. Among them: “It’s a Long Way There,” “Help Is on Its Way,” “Happy Anniversary,” “Reminiscing,” “Lady,” “Lonesome Loser,” “Cool Change,” “The Night Owls,” and others. In the end, the group scored 13 Top 30 Hits and has sold over 30 million records.

Cuts Like A Diamond and the group’s new alliance with Frontiers Records, marks a turning point in the history of a group whose hits remained a staple on radio stations around the world. Recalls Nelson: “Frontiers approached us 2012 and wanted a CD of new material from Little River Band. They wanted a west coast 1980s sound, just like what the band used to do. At the same time, we also knew we had to embrace the new LRB and the more contemporary sound we had been moving into. In the end, I think we accomplished both. We are very excited. From start to finish, we know this is a quality project.”

The Little River Band is currently on tour. For more information on venues, dates and times, please visit http://littleriverband.com/tour/.

Viva Antonio! MAC Cosmetics launches New Fall Makeup Collection: MAC Antonio Lopez Collection

For its latest makeup collection, MAC Antonio Lopez, MAC is inspired by the late fashion illustrator Antonio Lopez, who helped launch the careers of Jerry Hall, Marisa Berenson and Pat Cleveland. This autumn MAC Cosmetics (www.amccosmetics.com) introduce a makeup collection (of a mix of old and new shades), with packaging featuring exclusive designs by Lopez. The trio of legendary models, who made their mark in the 1970s, star in the campaign where they all pose in disco-style gowns and gold sandals, looking fabulously like the supermodels they are. The make-up and accessories line includes an eyeshadow, lip, eye and face palettes, plus makeup and tote bags.

Coming on the heels of the very successful book by Roger and Mauricio Padilha, this is just further appreciation of what a genius he was and how his loss still affects those in the industry.

“Our collection with Antonio Lopez is symbolic of a time when indulgence was at its peak,” explains James Gager, creative director of MAC Cosmetics. “There was a magic to his world and a time in history that hasn’t been recaptured; I think people are lusting after that glamour, which is difficult to come by today.”

The collection includes:

MAC Antonio Lopez 3/Lips ($27.50)

A trio of complementary lip shades that allows you to dabble in the art of mixing and matching (from left: nude, fuchsia, and red). Mini brush comes included.

MAC Antonio Lopez Face ($46)

These triple-tiered palettes are meant for bronzing, blushing, and highlighting for both cool (pink) and warm (coral) skin tones.
