QUIET RIOT Drummer Schedules NAMM Signing Sessions

January 8, 2008

QUIET RIOT drummer Frankie Banali will take part in the following signing sessions at this year's NAMM show (National Association of Music Merchants),which runs from January 17 to January 20 at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, California:

Saturday, January 19:

Vic Firth Drum Sticks (Booth #4430 Hall C): 12:30 p.m.
Ludwig Drums (Booth #4224 Hall C): 2:00 p.m.

Banali recently posted an audiovisual tribute to his late bandmate, QUIET RIOT singer Kevin DuBrow, who died in late November of an accidental cocaine overdose. Watch it at Banali's newly revamped official web site.

Dubrow was found dead Nov. 25 at his Las Vegas home. He was 52.

QUIET RIOT was perhaps best known for its 1983 cover of "Cum on Feel the Noize". The song, featuring Dubrow's powerful, gravelly voice, appeared on the band's album "Metal Health" — which was the first by a metal band to reach No. 1 on the Billboard chart.

DuBrow recorded a solo album in 2004, "In for the Kill", and the band's last studio CD, "Rehab", came out in October 2006.
