Overselling the Drama?, ''full throttle explosion of rock" Options

I get the Live Nation (UK Music Promoter, no relation to the band) email through with all the latest tour announcements and tickets etc, and a whole mail dedicated to Ed's London Koko show just dropped into my inbox. Must say I had to smile at the last two paragraphs.

Ed Kowalczyk, widely known as the lead singer/frontman/guitarist of the band LIVE, has built an impressive résumé with his bandmates that includes eight full-length albums, total CD sales exceeding 20 million, a huge international fan base and extensive touring all over the world.

LIVE has been one of the most successful and enduring alternative rock bands of the 1990s and 2000s. One of the main things that have enabled Live to maintain a devoted fan base is the substantial and durable nature of their lyrics, which have often reflected Kowalczyk's personal and spiritual concerns. "My approach as a songwriter is to write songs that are not finite and will resonate with listeners for a really long time," Kowalczyk asserts. "Sixteen years after our first album, Mental Jewelry, I am still able to get something out of songs Live recorded in the early 1990s--and I think that one of the reasons why we have had so many fans for so long is that our fans are also continuing to find nuances in the songs."

The new offering from LIVE's lead singer and songwriter, Ed Kowalczyk is a full band, full throttle explosion of rock and roll passion that celebrates the hits and punches into the future with his amazing new solo album, Alive.

Join this dynamic frontman as he launches into the next chapter of his already illustrious rock and roll career, carrying his loyal fanbase and new friends to fresh vistas and staggering new depths of rock nirvana. Can you feel it comin' back again? You will when you see and hear this incredible new show on your stage.
