GENE SIMMONS BAND AND FLOTSAM & JETSAM CONFIRMED FOR SUMMER BREEZE BRASIL 2024

 


PRESS RELEASE:


GENE SIMMONS BAND:

Gene Simmons' (KISS) new solo band will be the surprise attraction of the second edition of Summer Breeze Open Air Brasil, which will be held between April 26th and 28th at Memorial da América Latina (SP).

The GSB (Gene Simmons Band) features Simmons (bass and vocals), guitarists and vocalists Brent Woods (Wildside, Sebastian Bach and Vince Neil) and Zach Throne (Corey Taylor) and drummer Brian Tichy (Lynch Mob, The Dead Daisies , Whitesnake, Billy Idol, Foreigner, Pride & Glory, Slash's Snakepit and others).


FLOTSAM & JETSAM:

With a long-lasting and influential career in the metal scene, the thrash/heavy metal band Flotsam and Jetsam, formed in 1981 in Phoenix/Arizona (USA), will make their debut in Brazilian territory at the second edition of Summer Breeze Open Air Brasil.

The original lineup that recorded the cult debut, "Doomsday for the Deceiver" (1986), included Eric "A.K." Knutson (vocals), Michael Gilbert and Edward Carlson (guitars), Jason Newsted (bass) and Kelly David-Smith (drums). Shortly before the official release of the album, Newsted left the band to join Metallica, where he took over from the late Cliff Burton and became world famous.

Although Flotsam and Jetsam did not achieve the same level of commercial success as some of their contemporaries, they continued to release albums regularly and perform live. Some of the highlights of his discography are the albums "No Place for Disgrace" (1988) and "Cuatro" (1992). However, the group has been praised more recently for albums such as "Ugly Noise" (2012), "Flotsam and Jetsam" (2016), "The End of Chaos" (2019) and "Blood in the Water" (2021).

In addition to Eric "A.K." Knutson and Michael Gilbert, the current lineup features Steve Conley (guitar), Bill Bodily (bass) and experienced drummer Ken Mary (Accept, House of Lords, Fifth Angel, Bonfire, Alice Cooper, Chastain, TKO and Impellitteri).
