It's Official: PAUL STANLEY To Be Backed By 'Rock Star' House Band On Upcoming Tour - Sep. 16, 2006
KISS guitarist/vocalist Paul Stanley has confirmed rumors that his backing band for his "Live to Win" solo tour will be the house band from the CBS-TV show "Rock Star". The group, comprised of Paul Mirkovich (keyboards), Jim McGorman (guitar), Rafael Moreira (lead guitar), Nate Morton (drums) and Sasha Krivstov (bass), appeared on the first season of the show, "Rock Star: INXS", as well as this year's "Rock Star: Supernova".

Earlier today Paul enthusiastically spoke about bringing the house band on the road with him. "From the first time I saw them perform, I knew they were the band that could help deliver the songs for my solo tour with lethal force," he said. "Trust me, this is going to be awesome!"

Paul Stanley has announced the following solo tour dates in support of "Live to Win":

Oct. 21 - Atlanta, GA - Tabernacle
Oct. 23 - Ft. Lauderdale, FL - Revolution
Oct. 24 - Orlando, FL - Hard Rock Live
Oct. 26 - Baltimore, MD - Rams Head
Oct. 27 - Atlantic City, NJ - Houseof Blues
Oct. 28 - New York, NY - Irving Plaza
Nov. 01 - Pittsburgh, PA - Palace Theatre
Nov. 03 - Milwaukee, WI - Rave
Nov. 05 - Detroit, MI - Emerald Theatre
Nov. 06 - Chicago, IL - House Of Blues
Nov. 07 - Minneapolis, MN - Qwest
Nov. 10 - Seattle, WA - Showbox
Nov. 11 - Portland, OR - Aladdin
Nov. 13 - San Francisco, CA - Filmore
Nov. 14 - Los Angeles, CA - House Of Blues

"Live to Win" is scheduled for release on October 24, 2006 via New Door Records/Universal Musical Enterprises. The CD was self-produced by Stanley, who provides lead vocals, guitar and percussion alongside a studio core of guitarist Corky James (AVRIL LAVIGNE, THE MATRIX), drummer Victor Indrizzo (BECK, MACY GRAY) and keyboardist Harry Sommerdahl (CARRIE UNDERWOOD, LINDSAY LOHAN). Also performing on the album are former KISS bandmate Bruce Kulick and guitarist John 5.

While the heartfelt "Loving You Without You Now" was written without any outside collaboration, the remainder of the album reunites Stanley with former KISS songwriting partners Desmond Child (AEROSMITH, LEANN RIMES) and Holly Knight (TINA TURNER, PAT BENATAR), and introduces new collaborators including Andreas Carlsson (BON JOVI, BRITNEY SPEARS), John 5 (ROB ZOMBIE, MARILYN MANSON) and Marti Frederiksen (AEROSMITH, FAITH HILL). Seven of the ten tracks were co-written with Child and/or Carlsson, with Stanley and Child joined by John 5 on "Where Angels Dare" and Frederiksen on "Lift", and Knight teaming with the frontman on "It's Not Me".

ok the house band is very good, but they where just playing some easy songs most of the time, here in iceland there are still so called dances and every fucking band plays the same fucking songs, the so called hits through the years and stuff and it's fucking boring and Magni is in the worst of them all. This house have never played a very difficult song or even a own original song. But they probably can because they at least seemed very good :)

Most of these house bands can play anything, they're well paid musicians who know their instruments. They have to play them well, because they're paid to play a variety of songs with a variety of artists.

This tour starts in October and is only 15 dates. SuperNoGood don't start until January.

Doesn't hit Philly, so Paul missed a major market. I'm just not interested enough to drive to Atlantic City.
