The waiting is over! "Elegant Stealth" will be officially released on Nov. 25 in Europe and the UK through ZYX, but the album is available now in the US through Amazon, including the European import.
Congratulations to Rainer from Finland, who was the very first person to own the CD (which he purchased last week directly from ZYX).
We're happy to report there's already lots of great momentum surrounding "Elegant Stealth." Thanks go out to Billy at Glass Onyon and Lee at Bright Lights for nabbing some choice interview opportunities for Andy.
A short list of recent interviews includes Sidesixx, one of Ireland's biggest rock websites (listen here: http://sidesixx.com/features/2619-we-sit-down-with-andy-powell-of-wishbone-ash/); Classic Rock Revisited, a well known US website; Sound and Vision Magazine, a large glossy magazine out of New York City; Total Guitar, and Record Collector magazine.
Interactive Guitar, a worldwide digital magazine, will produce a six-page feature on the band slated for January.
There's a special buzz around Andy's interview with Jesse Hughes (Eagles of Death Metal) for Artrocker, which promises to introduce the band to a broader audience.
"Jesse was very knowledgeable; and being a former political journalist, this will be an esoteric ramble-- quite different from the usual pitch," Andy says. "He's buddies with Dave Grohl of Foo Fighters and told me how he and Grohl really dug the two trance albums we did in the '90s, Trance Visionary and Psychic Terrorism."
That interview is slated for January release.
On the road again…
The "Elegant Stealth" tour begins in full force on Jan. 11 in Belgium and will take the band through Europe, North America and the UK. Steve Ozark, our booking agent in the States, also has his sights on some Brazilian dates! Check the website often for updates: www.wishboneash.com.
