FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE March 11, 2013 BAD COMPANY RELEASES FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE March 11, 2013 BAD COMPANY RELEASES FULL SUMMER 2013 ROUTING THAT KICKS OFF ON JUNE 15 IN RANCHO MIRAGE, CA 40th Anniversary Celebration Includes 13 Co-Headline Dates with Lynyrd Skynyrd New York --- Bad Company has announced the complete itinerary for the band's Summer tour of the U.S. Celebrating their 40th anniversary since forming, the excursion begins on June 15 in Rancho Mirage, CA and will stage 22 dates, ending on August 3 in Orilla, Ontario. The band appeared in June, 2012 at the Sweden Rock Festival, which followed a tour of the Japan and North America in 2010 that staged 21 appearances. Prior, Bad Company toured the U.K. for an eight-date run, which concluded at Wembley in London, followed by ten shows in the U.S. in 2009. In front of the tour, Paul Rodgers shares, "When Mick and I formed the band we were amazed at the instant success. It didn't hurt to have Led Zeppelin behind us, and we wrote some decent songs that still resonate. This one is for the fans." Bad Company were dubbed a super-group upon the band's formation due to the union of Free's Paul Rodgers (Vocals / Multi-Instrumentalist) with Mott The Hoople's Mick Ralphs (Guitar) plus Free's Simon Kirke (Drums) and King Crimson's Boz Burrell (Bass), who passed away in 2006. Over the next nine years, the band released a string of six albums that sold tens of millions of copies, yielding international hits "Can't Get Enough," "Bad Company," "Feel Like Makin' Love," and many others penned by the main songwriters Paul Rodgers and Mick Ralphs. Original members Rodgers, Ralphs, and Kirke will be joined by guitarist Howard Leese and bassist Todd Ronning (from Paul Rodgers solo band). Bad Company has inspired many of today's musicians. Most notably, Metal band Five Finger Death Punch who scored a #1 Active Rock hit with a cover of the song "Bad Company". Since 2001, the band has only played 11 isolated performances, and has not staged a tour of The United States and Canada until now. On 13 of the dates, Bad Company will co-headline with Lynyrd Skynyrd. Paul Rodgers recently shared, "The Skynyrds and I go back to the 70's and the days and nights at the Hyatt House on Sunset in LA aka the Riot House. In the 90's the band introduced me to my wife Cynthia, and that's why I am so damned happy and healthy these years." Lynyrd Skynyrd's Johnny Van Zant offered, "Every member of Skynyrd has been fans of Bad Company from the get go. Personally, Paul is one of my favorite rock singers. We have a deep appreciation for Bad Company’s music and look forward to being on the road with them and sharing the stage.” DiscLive Network ( www.disclivenetwork.com ) has partnered with Bad Company. Recordings of all appearances where available will be released to fans the evening of the appearance so that they have the opportunity to walk out of the show with the concert they just attended. These double CD sets, which will be individually numbered and packaged in super high quality DigiPaks commemorating the 40th Anniversary Tour, will also contain an extra "bonus" CD with an exclusive "rockumentary" style interview with Bad Company.

  • Bad Company Biography
    BAD COMPANY BIOGRAPHY One of the most acclaimed bands of the classic rock era, England's Bad Company has put its indelible stamp on rock 'n' roll with a straight- ahead, no-frills musical approach that has resulted in the creation of some of the most timeless rock anthems ever. Led by the incomparable singer and songwriter Paul Rodgers, arguably the finest singer in rock 'n ' roll and a huge songwriting talent. Formed in 1973, Bad Company came to life when Rodgers was looking to start anew after the disintegration of his legendary band Free. His powerhouse vocals and songwriting were a main ingredient during Free's impressive five-year run; a period of time that saw the release of seven extremely influential albums that featured Free's minimalist blues-rock approach. Included among Free's dynamic body of work is the 1970 smash, "All Right Now," one of the most recognizable rock anthems ever recorded. Lyrics and melody by Rodgers. He was Free’s main songwriter. Rodgers had met Mott The Hoople guitarist Mick Ralphs and after jamming together and listening to new songs that Ralphs had penned and songs that Rodgers had penned, Ralphs made the decision to leave Mott and form a new band with Rodgers. The duo recruited former King Crimson bassist/vocalist Boz Burrell, added drummer Simon Kirke and Rodgers Christened the band Bad Company. Rodgers’ brought in Led Zeppelin manager Peter Grant and Bad Company became the first band signed to Zeppelin's Swan Song label. "I had to fight to get the management and the record company to accept the name Bad Company," explains Rodgers.

He came down and played a solo acoustic set in her house and jammed with some local musicians. “She called me, and I didn’t hesitate,” Kirke says. “She’s been so valuable to us. She’s more a friend now. I thought it was just a small way to pay her back.” When she talks about the band, you can still see the smitten London teenager that spent three hours in a record store listening to the band’s first album, “Tons of Sobs,” before taking it home. Her eyes light up, and the enthusi- asm transports you back to the end of the ’60s. “I had a Saturday job at a card shop in Central London,” she begins. “I went out for lunch, and I passed a store that had ‘Tons of Sobs’ plas- tered all over the window.” The bleak cover image of Free’s bluesy debut album piqued her curiosity. “I walked in and there was this music playing — I think it was ‘I’m a Courtesy of Lucy Piller Mover.’ After it finished, I said Lucy Piller playfully coaxes Free’s frontman Paul Rodgers to to them, ‘Can I hear that song hold his head up for a backstage photo in 1970 in England.

  • This One Time, at Rock Camp… Rock N’ Roll Fantasy Camp Wants to Make Your Air-Guitar Dreams Come True for Only $6,000 – Groupies Not Included
    Playboy Magazine By David Peisner This One Time, At Rock Camp… Rock n’ Roll Fantasy Camp wants to make your air-guitar dreams come true for only $6,000 – groupies not included I have convinced myself that the final night of Rock n’ Roll Fantasy Camp is no big deal, no difference from putting on a skit with my cabin mates when I was nine. But this isn’t the stage at Camp Winnawoka, it’s the Bottom Line, a world-famous club in Manhattan. And this isn’t a marshmallow on a stick in my hand; it’s a bass guitar, on which I am expected shortly to accompany camp counselor Roger Daltrey. Yes, that Roger Daltrey. Probably best not to dwell on the fact that I’d never picked up a bass before three days ago. “Hellooo, New York City!” the emcee howls, raising an expectant cheer from the standing-room only crowd. “Are you ready?” For those about to rock, we beg your forgiveness. Stratocasters and fanny packs Rock n’ Roll Fantasy Camp is the brainchild of concert promoter David Fishof. Decades ago, baseball fantasy camps proved that rich, paunchy sports fans would pay top dollar to play catch with rich, paunchy ex-athletes. Fishof applied the idea to music, creating a place where people could “eat, sleep and live rock and roll.” The first RRFC, held in 1997 in Miami, lost money, but Fishof revived the camp in Los Angeles last year, and now he’s brought it to New York City. While financial riches have so far proved elusive, the rock-camp concept has found its way onto pop culture’s ultimate barometer: The Simpsons.
