Premiere\\ CINDERELLA Frontman's 'Solid Ground' Video Released

"Solid Ground", the new solo video from Tom Keifer, best known as the singer/songwriter/guitarist of the Philadelphia-based blues-rock band CINDERELLA, can be seen below. The song comes off solo album, "The Way Life Goes", which will be released on April 30 via Merovee Records (through Warner Music Group's Independent Label Group).

The collection of 14 new songs ranges from intimate, organic, acoustic tracks to driving hard rock. It embraces the blues, rock and country roots that have always been present in his unique sound that has generated the sale of over 15 million records worldwide for CINDERELLA. Rolling Stone praised Keifer as "a gritty, bluesy (rocker) with enough genuine swagger to draw comparisons to Mick Jagger."

"This record was a labor of love," Keifer told TriCities.com. "When I started this record, CINDERELLA was in the middle of a lawsuit with Sony Records. This record is not in any way to be taken as me stepping away from CINDERELLA."

"I took a lot of time making this record," he continued. "I made it over 10 years. I wanted to make something I loved. My wife, Savannah (Snow), co-wrote a lot of the songs with me. It was a blessing to me.

"Each song has something to do with life. It's just life, love, love lost, being crazy, going crazy, being lost. The record, there's no change, really, in style. It has the peaks and valleys.

"I've always approached music, played music that I like. I've never chased trends through CINDERELLA and with this album. It reflects what's in me."

"The Way Life Goes" track listing:

01. Solid Ground
02. A Different Light
03. It's Not Enough
04. Cold Day In Hell
05. Thick And Thin
06. Ask Me Yesterday
07. Fools Paradise
08. The Flower Song
09. Mood Elevator
10. Welcome To My Mind
11. You Showed Me
12. Ain't That A Bitch
13. The Way Life Goes
14. Babylon

"The Flower Song", the album's first single, was serviced to AAA radio stations nationwide on February 4, while "Solid Ground" was serviced to all rock formats on March 11.

Keifer wrote "The Flower Song" with Jim Peterik, formerly of the bands SURVIVOR and the IDES OF MARCH.

"The Way Life Goes" is a raw, introspective look at the roller coaster ride that has been Keifer's life for the past 15 years. From being told that he would never sing again as a result of a partially paralyzed left vocal cord, to the emotional and personal battles that followed, his solo debut is a story of perseverance, a testament to the power of passion and will, when combined with a true love of music.

"It's pretty scary," Keifer said of his vocal paralysis. "I've had six surgeries to deal with the collateral damage. Performing… has been difficult for me because of the vocal issues I've had. I work several hours every day on that. That's a difficult thing for me every day."

Keifer will guest on the nationally syndicated radio show "Rockline" with host Bob Coburn on Wednesday, May 1 at 8:30 p.m. PT / 11:30 p.m. ET. Fans are encouraged to speak with Keifer by calling 1-800-344-ROCK (7625). The show will be streamed on the "Rockline" web site for two weeks beginning the afternoon after the live broadcast.

Entrevista\\ Cinderella: "os fãs ainda desejam ouvir esse estilo"

Em entrevista ao Noisecreep, o baterista Fred Coury falou sobre como o Cinderella silenciou seus detratores e segue lotando shows até hoje. “Quando dizem que o nosso tipo de música morreu, digo para irem a um de nossos shows. Estamos lotando grandes espaços com fãs que ainda desejam ouvir esse estilo. E não somos os únicos, outras bandas de nossa geração estão se dando bem ainda”.

Vender memórias do passado é um dos segredos para esse tipo de resultado, diz o músico. “Muitas pessoas vão aos shows para voltar no tempo. Ouvem uma música e isso as remete ao primeiro dia em que a escutaram, a primeira namorada ou algo do tipo”.

Rock and Roll Radio \\ Cinderella - The More Things Change

Cinderella - Muitas Coisas Mudam

Acordei esta manhã do lado errado da cama
Parecia que um trem passava pela minha cabeça
Liguei meu rádio na mesma velha canção
Algum boca grande tentando explicar onde o mundo deu errado

Mas tudo isso fala de paz e amor
Isso é só para as notícias
Porque sempre que você confia em alguém
Você acaba se ferrando

Quanto mais as coisas mudam
Mais elas continuam iguais
Todo o mundo é seu amigo até você mudar de idéia
Quanto mais as coisas mudam
Mais elas ficam iguais
Só precisamos de um milagre para nos livrar do sofrimento

E nessa manhã eu estava me sentindo usado
Apanhei o telefone mas só consegui uma atitude
Liguei a televisão nas mesmas velhas notícias
Todo o mundo pensa que eles conseguiram a resposta para os mesmo velhos dias tristes

Como uma arma de fumaça numa noite de sábado
Você tem que ir pela sua garganta
Você tem que lutar pela sua vida

Quanto mais as coisas mudam
Mais elas continuam iguais
Todo o mundo é seu amigo até você mudar de idéia
Quanto mais as coisas mudam
Mais elas ficam iguais
Só precisamos de um milagre para nos livrar do sofrimento
Leve-me embora!

Como uma arma de fumaça numa noite de sábado
Você tem que ir pela sua garganta
Você tem que lutar pela sua vida

Quanto mais as coisas mudam
Mais elas continuam iguais
Todo o mundo é seu amigo até você mudar de idéia
Quanto mais as coisas mudam
Mais elas ficam iguais
Só precisamos de um milagre para nos livrar do sofrimento

Quanto mais as coisas mudam
Mais elas continuam iguais
Todo o mundo é seu amigo até você mudar de idéia
Quanto mais as coisas mudam
Mais elas ficam iguais
Tudo o que precisamos é de um milagre

Quanto mais as coisas mudam...

Rocknews\\ Cinderella: confirmado show na Colômbia com Scorpions

O CINDERELLA confirmou por intermédio de seu site oficial que será a banda de abertura para o show do Scorpions na Colômbia. A banda de Hard/Glam Rock, liderada por Tom Keifer, se apresenta no dia 9 de setembro, no Parque Simon Bolivar, na capital Bogotá.

September 9th
Parque Simon Bolivar - Bogota, Columbia
w/Scorpions




Comentários: Não consigo entender como, estes países "menos favorecidos economicamente", conseguem negociar shows com tanta velocidade e eficiência.
Já virou costume. As grandes bandas primeiro fecham seus contratos com as produtoras da Colômbia, Bolívia e Equador, para somente depois acertarem suas datas com a gente.
Em alguns casos, as bandas excursionam por quase toda a América do Sul, mas nem sequer passam por aqui.
O último exemplo disto aconteceu com a banda STRYPER em que somente o Brasil ficou de fora. Espero que isto não se repita com o Cinderella.

Fan-filmed video footage of the concert can be viewed below.

CINDERELLA played its first show in over three years on March 19, 2010 at the Grizzly Rose in Denver, Colorado.

In a recent interview with Bring Back Glam!, CINDERELLA frontman Tom Keifer spoke about his voice issues which forced the cancellation of the band's U.S. tour with WARRANT, LYNCH MOB and LYNAM in the summer of 2008.

"The root problem with my voice issues started in 1991 when I was diagnosed with a paresis, [which is] partial paralysis of one side of my voice box," he explained. "You have to train it to learn how to sing again.

"The partial paralysis is a neurological thing and it's caused by viruses, even a common cold virus. The virus gets into the nerve and it can degenerate it. It's rare, but it happens. Once degenerated, you can't — there's no surgery or medicine that fixes it. You have to retrain it and it is very tedious and time-consuming and it's not a lot of fun. In a lot of cases, it is career-ending.

"The singing voice is such a fine tuned instrument and any subtle change can throw it off."

He added, "A year ago, I met the 'Miracle Man' who is a vocal coach. He really taught me a lot of things about breathing and how to control my air and how to prevent this from happening again. I've been studying this technique — it's what they teach opera singers — classical voice training, which I've never been trained that way before. It doesn't change the tone of your voice, just how you support it. I still sound the way I sound but I'm not hurting my voice, and it's really worked and my voice feels stronger."

Regarding the possibility of a new CINDERELLA studio album at some point in the not-too-distant future, Keifer told AOL's Noisecreep, "We always feel like a band when we get back together and tour so the plan right now is to not put any pressure on ourselves and to just get back out and have some fun, do shows and be a band again and we'll see where it leads. It's definitely a possibility we could make a record at some point, I just don't know when that would be. I would say it's gotta be right place, right time. It's gotta feel right."

Traduza\\ CINDERELLA TO RELEASE 'LIVE AT THE MOHEGAN SUN' IN NOVEMBER

Frontiers Records is pleased to announce the signing of Hard Rock icons CINDERELLA for the European release on the "Live at the Mohegan Sun" album on November 6th 2009.

Featuring the all original line-up of Tom Keifer (vocals, guitar), Eric Brittingham (bass), Jeff LaBar (guitar) and Fred Coury (drums), the show was recorded during the VH1 sponsored "Rock Never Stops" package tour, which Cinderella headlined, supported by Ratt, Quiet Riot and Firehouse. The concert was held in Uncasville, Connecticut on July 21, 2005 is now officially and integrally released in Europe as an appetizer to the ultimate live return of the band on the European soil, which is planned for the year 2010!

Formed in Philadelphia in 1983 by singer/songwriter/guitarist Tom Keifer and bassist Eric Brittingham, they quickly added guitarist Jeff LaBar to the line-up. With Jody Cortez completing the band on drums, Cinderella started to write and perform original material in clubs and bars in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, until Jon Bon Jovi caught one of the performances and alerted his record company, Mercury, who immediately signed the band. Cinderella's debut album "Night Songs", was released in June 1986 and went on to sell over 3 million units, sporting such singles as "Shake Me", "Nobody's Fool" and "Somebody Save Me". Fred Coury replaced Cortez prior to the release of "Night Songs" and the band has remained unchanged since.

Two years later Cinderella returned with their second album, "Long Cold Winter". The record was another huge success, selling in excess of 3 million copies with tracks like "Gypsy Road" and "Don't Know What You Got ('Til Its Gone)" becoming soon fan favourites.

Their third album, "Heartbreak Station", was released in 1990 followed by "Still Climbing" in 1994. The later two albums featured songs more influenced by Keifer's love of the blues. Cinderella disbanded in 1995 but by 1998, there was interest by promoters for Cinderella to reunite in the original lineup for a tour. Cinderella were later signed to Sony's Portrait label by famed record executive John Kalodner, however the lack of success of the label's initial releases brought the cancellation of the deal as the label folded.

Nevertheless, a faithful fan base supported the continued road work by the band, which reunited again in the summer of 2000 for a tour with Poison, followed by a second outing by the two groups in 2002 and regular live activity until 2006 which will be finally resumed during next year. Get ready for the return of Cinderella!

Night Songs (MP3 sample)
