UPDATE: Bill has left SteelHeart to focus on LoNero!
If you've ever seen the movie "RockStar" with Mark Wahlberg and Jennifer Aniston then you've heard the voice of Miljenko "Mili" Matijevic. Mili was the singing voice of Mark Wahlberg in the movie and he is also the singer of platinum-selling band "SteelHeart". We're proud to announce that LoNero guitarist Bill Lonero will be joining Steelheart. A chance meeting at legendary rock photographer, Neil Zlozower's house brought Bill and Mili together back in January. Don't worry though, LoNero isn't going anywhere. LoNero is still very much alive and in fact we are working on our new album. Bill's first show with SteelHeart will be on July 13th, 2008 in Pryor, Oklahoma at the huge 5 day gathering that is Rocklahoma. Attendance is expected to reach or exceed 50,000 people this year. SteelHeart will be playing the final night right before Tesla and Queensryche on the main stage. So if you find yourself at Rocklahoma be sure to let Bill know you're there. He'd love to meet you!
LoNero will the opening act at the House of Blues on Sunset in Hollywood, CA. on February 18th. Also performing will be Cliff Williams (AC/DC), Glenn Hughes (Deep Purple) and many more. Tix are $20/$60. Doors open at 6pm show starts at 6:30pm.
New videos are up. These are from our forthcoming dvd "Live and Relentless" filmed during our live webcast. You can check out a couple of videos in our blog at NoRegretsNoExcuses.com
