Our first release, GYPSY PISTOLERO’s stunning new album “DUENDE – Last of the Pistoleros”, is available for immediate shipping from Monday February 14th, only through www.100percentrock.com.
Lee Pistolero has mastered the sounds of a dirty Gretch guitar and launched a solo career as GYPSY PISTOLERO after the implosion last year of the Gypsy Pistoleros, the unique “flamenco sleaze glam rock” band he founded in 2005.
The Gypsy Pistoleros have been described as “One of the best Rock n’ Roll groups to come out of the U.K. for years!"- TRACII GUNS (L.A. GUNS)
“Gypsy Pistoleros are the single most inventive band of the last decade" - Allyson, BringBackGlam.com
"Para Siempre is a thrill-a-minute collection of melodic eye-patch swagger that smells of exotic spices and forbidden concubines." – Sleazegrinder, Classic Rock magazine
“[The Gypsy Pistoleros] tumble down the stairs like Guns n’ Roses and Hanoi Rocks jamming after a tequila fuelled lost weekend [with a] mariachi trumpet… as delicate as crystal and as ballsy as the local chapter of the Hells Angels, if The Angels were playing at a Mexican wedding and getting paid in tequila, cocaine and love.” - Shane Rockpit, www.therockpit.net
“DUENDE” has 10 tracks of mariachi tinged hard rock, comes in a sexy gatefold cardboard cover with a bonus 4 page full-colour booklet AND the 100% ROCK release of the album also features THREE bonus live studio demo songs.
“DUENDE” IS AVAILABLE NOW FROM www.100percentrock.com
FOR IMMEDIATE SHIPPING!!!
100% ROCK’s second release will be from Western Australian hard rockers BABYJANE. This dynamic and melodic four piece recorded their debut album “Are You Listening” in 2010 then took it to Nashville, USA to be mixed by legendary producer Michael Wagener (Motley Crue, Metallica, Accept, Skid Row) at his Double Trouble Studios, then to George Marino at Sterling Sound in New York (Guns n’ Roses, Metallica, Kiss, John Lennon, Aerosmith) for initial mastering, then final mastering at Independant Mastering, Nashville (Skid Row, Dokken, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Neil Young).
Babyjane’s “Are You Listening” was voted #12 album of 2010 by reknowned online hard, heavy & classic rock magazine The Rockpit (www.therockpit.net), and Babyjane also featured on the list of “15 Bands To Watch In 2011” by U.S. radio network Hard Rock Nights.
““Are You Listening” is a world class album that simply sounds fantastic. Sonically Wagener has delivered a crisp and clean sound that is rich and full of feeling, without sacrificing an ounce of the essential rawness and red blooded hunger of their late night bar-hardened sound.” – Shane Rockpit, www.therockpit.net
“One Australian band that isn’t going to go unnoticed is Babyjane; with the release of their debut “Are You Listening?”, which happened to be mixed by the legendary Michael Wagner, set for release, Andy Smith – vocals / guitar, John Gerasolo – lead guitars, Paul Judge – bass/ vocals, and Nik Kats – drums are ready to set stages on fire with their brand of high energy Aussie Rock” – Brian Basher, Hard Rock Nights
Babyjane’s “Are You Listening”’s 11 high voltage tracks of Guns n’ Roses- and Aussie pub rock-influenced hard rock, will be released on March 15th by 100% ROCK, and is available to pre-order from www.100percentrock.com NOW!
