went to see fate this friday in my home town, they did put on a killer show with lots of keyboard, not much people though, around 50 people attended at the show. they played all their hits plus one new song taken from their new best of cd.

yes only the bass player left from the original line up. new singer was very good though. funny thing is that many people tend to think that glam & melodic rock is huge in sweden to the fact that there is coming so many new bands from here. went to see faster pussycat/enuff z nuff on the same bill about two months ago, only 100 people or so was there. anyway, i have bai bang in two weeks, not the best band but anyway. and chris laney a month later. crazy lixx, h.e.a.t & wolf are coming this summer as well!

So what's up with Fate these days? Didn't even know they were still going, assumed they broke up completely. It's been 5 years since 'V' now hasn't it? What was the new song like and will there be a new album with the current line-up? What happened to the rest of the band? Why'd they go?

50 people? OMFG, we get more people at our gigs every Saturday and we are only a covers band for christ's sake. What size of venue were they playing? obviously not a major one, but probably a pretty decent sized hall/ club I would imagine. I know they were never a big name like Europe etc, but that is ridiculous. Would love to see Fate live, but it seems unfortunately not many others do anymore.

Backed. I would hand over a testicle as payment to see them live.

At the gig I went to in Munich, Fate was supposed to also have the original drummer Bjarne Holm. But pulled out as he landed a plum gig playing around Europe with a jazz band... Fate apparently almost pulled out of that gig if they couldnt find a replacement. I'm guessing Hank & Mattias have better paying gigs to be bothered with Fate while Jeff & keysman & other guitarists have moved on. Years ago though, around 2003? a few German mates of mine saw Jeff live with his Beatles? covers band in Copenhagen. Wonder if that covers band are still together...?...

they played at this bar that might take around 300 people. they have this best of out here in scanadinavia with two new songs on (with the new line-up). as for a new album i really don´t know but there will probably as they are still active. sad that people are so damn comfortable that they can´t go down to the show for a couple of beers & some good music, the tickerts where only around $ 9, & that ain´t much money in my book to go see a band! check out: www.fateband.dk for some info as well!

    • I have learned not to assume these kinda releases are stand alone so I won't be buying the digital single, that's for sure. Been bitten with that one before. And if it does end up being standalone, well the digital single will still be available later. I don't like buying anything digitally, so only do it when there is no other choice.

    • Eclipse played that same game when Apocalypse Blues came out.  They dropped that song as just a single and made no mention of an album at that point as far as I remember.  All they were doing was selling the 7 inch vinyl.  We know now though that they clearly knew a full album was coming as Erik said they basically were working on both albums at the same time and deciding which tracks would go on each album.  Granted, maybe they didn't know the full timing of album #2 at that point but they certainly knew one was coming. Maybe the same here.  Maybe will trickle out a few songs and then announce an album later this year or early next year when it's closer to release.
    • So, Danny posted how the song is doing on Spotify and someone asked if this means a new album soon. Danny just made vague replies and said "well there will be more stuff coming soon"
    • Funnily enough, I read that this afternoon when I went to add the album to my collection on the main page. I got the European version which has two bonus tracks ... if you don't have them, you really aint missing anything

    • Created and Posted this video recently in order to promote Ryder SRIII a little more.  I love this song, one of my personal favs from the record.   Be careful viewing at work though (NSFW), just for a couple of images in the video.   
    • Named my HH self after the song Auslander on the album Stain. Love that track. Really like the whole album. It's like Living Colour's "Slave to the Grind" or "Dog Eat Dog".
    • From Frontiers: TRACKLIST: 1 Awesome God 2 Stand Up 3 Warrior 4 There You Are 5 Speak His Name 6 Why God Brought Me Here 7 Praying 8 It's Up to You 9 Holy Moment 10 Leaning on the Cross 11 Jesus Christ --- When a musical family gets together to record, magic can happen and this is what the VAN ZANT’s are here for! Brothers Johnny and Donnie Van Zant (respectively current lead vocalist of Southern Rock icons Lynyrd Skynyrd and founding member of .38 Special) were able to find room in their busy schedules for the first time in 1998, recording their collaboration album “Brother to Brother”: a tribute to their late brother and Lynyrd Skynyrd original singer and founding member Ronnie. Such release was highly acclaimed between the press and fans worldwide and brought the duo to record a follow up album, simply entitled “II” in 2001. Their collaboration during the years did not stop as they tapped their feet in a more Country-oriented style with the release of “Get Right With the Man” (certified Gold in the USA in 2005) and later on with “My Kind of Country” in 2007. Now the brothers once again reinvent themselves, offering a Christian-themed album encompassing their Rock and Blues musical roots (and with a touch of Country for good measure). The result “Always Look Up” is made up of songs that will touch the listener’s heart and soul, with an emotional depth that is truly second to none in today’s musical landscape. Experience the soul touching that only the music from the Van Zant family, can provide. You will see why they are icons of the American South, and musical heroes to millions around the globe!
