Special Guest Starz DESCRIPTION:A dazzling mix of glam\, hard rock & progressive rock. An outrageous\, over-the-top arena rock show! \nAngel \nWith Original members PUNKY MEADOWS & FRANK DIMINO along with members Danny Farrow\, Charlie Calv\, Billy Orrico\, and Tommy “T-BONE” Caradonna! Do not miss ANGEL’S Farewell Tour performing all of your favorites\, TOWER\, CAN YOU FEEL IT\, DON’T LEAVE ME LONELY\, ROCK N ROLLERS\, AINT GONNA EAT OUT MY HEART ANYMORE\, and many many others. DRESSED IN WHITE! \nEmploying a dazzling mix of glam rock\, hard rock\, and progressive rock\, Angel’s outrageous\, white-satin-heavy image and equally over-the-top stage shows\, made them one of the more colorful arena rock bands of the mid-’70s and early ’80s. Discovered by Kiss bass player Gene Simmons\, the group issued their eponymous debut album in 1975\, which were closer to prog rock than the glam pop that would inform future endeavors like On Earth as It Is in Heaven (1977)\, White Hot (1978)\, which had a top 40 hit with ” I Ain’t Gonna Eat out My Heart Anymore\,” and Sinful (1979). \nANGEL’S two most recent studio albums Risen and Once Upon a Time both charted on multiple Billboard charts as well landing Number 1 sales for CD and vinyl on Amazon.\nBoth albums opened to rave reviews and were in the top 5 albums of the year by GOLDMINE MAGAZINE featuring songs “Tell Me Why” and “The Torch” in the top 3 songs by GOLDMINE MAGAZINE. \nStarz \nStarz is an American hard rock band that emerged in the mid-1970s\, known for blending melodic pop hooks with arena-ready rock energy. Formed in New Jersey in 1975\, the band was put together by producer Jack Douglas (best known for his work with Aerosmith and John Lennon). The original lineup featured Michael Lee Smith (vocals)\, Richie Ranno (guitar)\, Brendan Harkin (guitar)\, Pieter “Pete” Sweval (bass)\, and Joe X. Dubé (drums). \nStarz quickly built a reputation for their high-energy live performances and polished songwriting. Their self-titled debut album\, Starz (1976)\, introduced their mix of glam-influenced hard rock and catchy choruses. They gained further attention with subsequent releases like Violation (1977) and Attention Shoppers! (1978)\, featuring songs such as “Cherry Baby\,” “Sing It\, Shout It\,” and “Hold On to the Night.” Their sound combined heavy guitar riffs with radio-friendly melodies\, positioning them somewhere between glam rock and mainstream arena rock. \nThough lineup changes and industry shifts slowed their momentum by the early 1980s\, Starz remain remembered as a polished\, underrated force in classic American hard rock.
