 Michael Monroe, frontman with legendary Finnish Rockers Hanoi Rocks has announced that he has launched an Official Myspace profile.
His new site can be found at www.myspace.com/michaelmonroeofficial.
In June, Hanoi Rocks released the Nottingham Tapes on DVD for the first time, a move which was also be the bands first foray into the DVD market.
The DVD features the full recording of the bands performance at the Palais in Nottingham.
This
performance, filmed on April 23rd 1984 at the Palais in Nottingham,
England, has since established itself in the annals of Rock n Roll
legend. The Nottingham Tapes was born.
Here, at last, for the first time on DVD, is that very footage in all
its sleazy, gritty glory. As a piece of rock history it is priceless,
as a piece of pure rock n roll pleasure it is peerless.
Formed in Helsinki in 1979, Hanoi Rocks drew their influences from
American proto punk bands such as The Stooges, The Sonics and most
obviously The New York Dolls. But unlike their punk peers they delved
into the music that inspired their heroes - Chuck Berry, Little Richard
and other Rock n Roll icons. Add a healthy slice of glam rock to the
mix and you had a band that would, in turn become a massive influence
on generations of rock bands that followed, most significantly Guns and
Roses and Manic Street Preachers.
For the best part of five years Hanoi Rocks stormed the world,
relocating first to Stockholm then London, and although they never
achieved the commercial success they deserved they amassed a huge cult
following that still thrives today. So much so that Mike Monroe and
Andy McCoy reformed as Hanoi rocks in 2002 and are still touring.
