I spent some time on the phoen with Jack Blades this week and he is out of the box excited to get this album out and get back on the road for the Amercian and European tours. 
He says the band is especially looking forward to getting to Japan. "It is our honor and indeed, our duty to play Japan." says Jack. 
"The Japanese fans have been so good to us over the years and they have been through such turmoil this year. We just want to get over there and put smiles on peoples faces and play for them."
The band gets together this week to start rehersals of the enw songs to add to the set list and Jack promises to check in from the road with regular updates, which will be posted right here.

Jack expressed his excitement to finally hit Europe again after all these years, but says there is one special show that fans can anticipate and that the band can't wait for - 
the headlining UK show at the Islington O2 Academy on Thursday, June 23.
Tickers are already on sale and include a number of different packages, including the chance to meet the band.
"This is going to be a special show for our UK fans." states Jack. "It is is going to be a show where we can stretch out and play all the Night Ranger songs you want to hear. This will be a full headline show with all the hits and new songs too."

In fact, Jack Blades invites fans going to the UK show to make suggestions for their set list.
