ESCAPE MUSIC PRESS RELEASE:
Escape Music have signed Danish rockers LA. Founded in the early 80's with an average age of below 20, the band centered around vocalist/ bassist Jan Achmann and guitarist Lars Impgaard soon succeeded to become one of the hottest acts in their home country of Denmark. Even Pretty Maids frontman Ronnie Atkins for a short time was a member of LA and a first demo was produced by Skagarack bassist Morten Munch. Those demos resulted in a record deal with Teleag Records and the debut album LA finally was released in 1985. LA started to play live to support the release and new songs were demoed soon. Due to the breakdown of their label and other business affairs, the band disbanded from the scene in 1986 before the 2nd album was finished.
A massive amount of e-mails by fans through the internet requesting LA on CD got the band together again in 2003 and made them remaster their debut album. After several meetings, it became obvious that the old chemistry still was there. The 80's demos still had their charm and LA hit the famous Jailhouse Studios in Copenhagen to re-record those songs with well-known producer Tommy Hansen (Helloween, Pretty Maids, Grand Illusion etc). Danish National TV2 picked up on the news of the now middle aged 80's rockers and LA was headlining the prime time news with the story of making the album and the CD to come. A deal with Escape Music followed shortly and here we go the new album Unfinished Business will see the light on the British based label on December 6.
The strictly limited edition of Unfinished Business will come along as 2-CD and exclusively include the LA album as bonus on the second disc. Even though the band's home base is Denmark, their sound can be described as American type hard rock and will please any fan of bands such as early Riot, early Virgin Steele, Leatherwolf and Driver.
Track list Unfinished Business: 1. Creditcard Lover, 2. High On You, 3. Down The Cross, 4. Last Night, 5. News On the Loose, 6. Point Of Uncontrol, 7. Sweet Georgia Brown, 8. Wheelchair 'n' Ragtime, 9. Gates To The Sky Live, 10. Hunted - Live.
Track list LA (bonus disc): 1.Gates To The Sky, 2. Hunted, 3. 20th Century, 4. Second Dawn, 5. Times Coming Up, 6. Breakdown, 7. The Oldest World (Part 1), 8. Winners 'n' Sinners, 9. The End.
LA are: Vocals & Bass Jan Achmann; Guitars Jens Impgaard; Guitars Lars Impgaard; Drums Henrik Rohde Jensen; Keys Soren Impgaard.

This sounds as an album to get in a good mood!

Apropos, Torben: I would be even in a better mood when I finally hear some news about Anubis Gate...

That means, you're going to the studio soon? Sounds cool!
And will we ever going to listen to an uptempo AG-song?
