Montrose January 27, 2012

If your looking for heavy rock and roll that speaks to you. Look no further. Montrose has become a legend on its own. Critically- acclaimed and has been said to be a mix between Jeff Beck and Led Zeppelin. The original Montrose remains the stuff of rock and roll legend, the ultimate stateside power trio with vocals. The songs are a virtual greatest hits of American hard rock: “Rock the Nation,” “Bad Motor Scooter,” “Space Station #5,” “I Got the Fire,” “Jump On It,” and the immortal “Rock Candy.” The fans have been begging for more ever since. But Ronnie Montrose,guitarist of the band, has always followed his heart. Ever anxious to take his music to the next level, in 1979 he founded the trailblazing band Gamma, a group whose trio of ahead-of-their-time albums were an explosion of guitar and synthesizer pyrotechnics anchored by a bluesy edge. Between and beyond these band forays, Montrose the player devoted himself to exploring instrumental guitar music on landmark albums like Open Fire and The Speed of Sound. Fans periodically clamored for another taste of the original Montrose power trio format, but he wouldn’t revisit Montrose – that huge, heavy sound; those rich, pealing riffs — until the time came when he could do it with total conviction. That time is now as Montrose has returns full force, playing the tunes that rocked a nation with heart-thumping, foot-stomping, fist-pumping energy. The legend has been reborn.
