JOEY VERA Releases New Solo Album

September 19, 2006

Bassist Joey Vera (ARMORED SAINT, FATES WARNING, ANTHRAX) has posted the following message on his official web site:

"Just released is my new solo project A CHINESE FIREDRILL 'Circles'. I know I said it wasn't available until Sept. 26 but I just couldn't wait another week! So, here it is and available now. And through October I am selling the CD at an Early Bird Discount of $8.00! So git it while it's hot! Please visit the A CHINESE FIREDRILLpage for ordering info.

"I had time off from touring between May 2005 until June of this year and I thought it was time for me to make my follow up solo record which has been on my back burner for quite some time. A few of the tunes I had written between 1997 and 2005 but most of it was written during the last year. I made a point to write music that didn't reside in my old hat of tricks as I really felt like branching out a little. I don't really care for describing my music or putting a label on it unless I absolutely have to and since this is my own website, I don't have to do anything I don't want to. So there, I'm not putting my music in a neat little box for you. You'll just have to hear it.

"The new CD is available here TODAY at my site and in one week it will also be available at www.cdbaby.com

"In other news: I've begun playing bass with Pearl Aday [MEAT LOAF's daughter and ANTHRAX guitarist Scott Ian's fiancée] at her weekly residence at the House of Blues in Hollywood, upstairs at the Foundation Room. Pearl is a singer songwriter that does an acoustic set every week playing her own tunes from her record 'Broken Thorny Crown' mixed with some cover tunes by BONNIE RAITT, SRV, ALLMAN BROTHERS etc. Yep, it's a blues rock acoustic assault and we're joined by Scott Ian (ANTHRAX) and Snake Sabo (SKID ROW) on guitars! If you're in the area, come on by 'cause it's FREE! Yeah, just tell them you're there to see Pearl and they'll let your wonderful self in. Check the club for set times."
