Hi. I'm Bill Hoebee and if nothing else, our show is ORIGINAL. If you have nothing better to, do listen in the morning...it's kind of like a train wreck for your ears and mind. My hobbies include identifying shiny objects, short walks on the beach, drinking, and keeping my 14 year relationship with my imaginary girlfriend alive. My favorite movies are "Spinal Tap" and any movie that begins with the words, "Ernest Goes to..." I mostly eat grape ice-pops and pie. I love my family, friends, watching t.v., and most of all...being a giant smart-ass for pay.
Look out, you rock and rollers. I'm Loretta (that's Miss Loretta to you), a.k.a. The Big Punisher. My mission: to start your afternoon off right, keep from killing Hoebee, and enjoy the beauty of the Florida Keys. I was born in Brooklyn, NY, raised in Jersey, and checked out every state but Hawaii. My favorite movie is "Kingpin", I like travelling, laughing, working out, music(duh), hanging with my friends, movies, and driving my cab!(I'm a full time cab driver for Friendly Cab, part time radio personality) . I love my little dog "Scrunchy", and he loves treats!
Nuclear Blast president Monte Conner says he wasn’t put off signing Thin Lizzy even when they decided to change their name.
Last week the band exclusively revealed via Classic Rock the reasons behind using a new title, Black Star Riders, and the departure of drummer Brian Downey and keyboardist Darren Wharton.
Ricky Warwick, Scott Gorham, Damon Johnson, Marco Mendoza and new drummer Jimmy DeGrasso will start work on their debut album next week alongside producer Kevin Shirley.
And Conner insists he didn’t think twice about signing the band – even though the change of name could affect their public profile.
The former Roadrunner A&R icon says: “As a lifelong Thin Lizzy fan I was floored by this lineup’s new material.
“Not only do the new songs sound like Thin Lizzy, they sound like classic Thin Lizzy.
“Black Star Riders totally captures the essence of what was great about the original band, while at the same time adding something totally fresh and modern.
“Even when I heard the band decided to change their name, my interest in signing them did not waved for one second.”
Black Star Riders’ album is due for release in May, with a world tour to follow which will include Phil Lynott era Lizzy tracks in the set.
Frontman Warwick recently said: “We are all very excited about the music that we have created. The synergy between the five of us has been phenomenal – I can’t wait for the world to hear these songs.”
