The Rainbird - "My Sambuca Baby" (video)

Michael Anthony Vescera: Αμερικανός τραγουδιστής ενεργός από τα μέσα της δεκαετίας του ογδόντα μέχρι και τις ημέρες μας. Τον πρωτακούσαμε στους Obsession, ακολούθησαν οι Loudness (βλ. "Soldier of Fortune", "On the Prowl"), αλλά ο περισσότερος κόσμος τον έμαθε όταν συνεργάστηκε με τον Yngwie Malmsteen στους δίσκους "The Seventh Sign" και "Magnum Opus". Τον έχουμε ακούσει επίσης σε albums των Roland Grapow, Palace of Black, Dramatica, Magic Kingdom, Dr. Sin, The Reign of Terror, MVP κλπ.

The Rainbird: hard rock συγκρότημα που δημιουργήθηκε το 1998 και μας παρουσιάζεται κάπως έτσι: «This project was created with the only purpose of playing a musical genre Hard Heavy Rock 70/80 years, that has deeply passionate ourselves... we didn't create anything "new or original" but interpreted the music with passion that motivates us for many years. Rock ON!» Κυκλοφόρησαν ένα ep έξι τραγουδιών ("Assassin's night") το 2002 κι έναν "ολοκληρωμένο" δίσκο ("The tiger dreams") το 2012 κι εν συνεχεία η μπάντα μπήκε "στον πάγο" μέχρι και προ τριετίας (2018).

Το καλοκαίρι του 2020 συναντήθηκαν οι δρόμοι του Michael Vescera με τους The Rainbird. Αποτέλεσμα της συνεργασίας; Ο δίσκος "Queen takes King" που "βγήκε" στα τέλη του περασμένου Μάρτη...

Bio: «Under the hard rock influences of the 70-80s, "The Rainbird" was born in 1998. After a few years of running in for the premises, in 2002 they entered the studio to record their first EP entitled "Assassin's night" containing six tracks. In 2010 they returned to the studio to record their self-produced debut album "The tiger dreams" containing 12 unreleased tracks. After the promotion of their album they take a long stand-by period until 2018. The band decides to return to the studio with a radical change in the line-up. The band is finishing the production of the second album sung entirely by Michael Vescera, former singer of Yngwie Malmsteen, Loudness, Obsession.»
