Smith/Kotzen – release expanded version of Black Light/White Noise album

Smith/Kotzen, the acclaimed pairing of guitar icons Adrian Smith and Richie Kotzen, have released an expanded deluxe digital version of their highly praised second album Black Light / White Noise. It contains two new songs that were previously only available on the Japanese CD edition of the album and are released globally today for the first time.
 
The new tracks are entitled ‘All The Way Down’ and ‘The Grind’, and follow the recent release of the band’s latest single ‘Blindsided’ and the accompanying video.
 
Black Light / White Noise received rave reviews from media around the world on its release last year and was a UK No.1 hit on the Official Rock & Metal Chart. Adrian Smith and Richie Kotzen, and their live touring musicians – bassist Julia Lage and drummer Bruno Valerde – are now taking their show on the road touring the UK and Europe, starting in Madrid next Tuesday (3rd February). The tour continues in South America in April.

Adrian Smith commented, “We’ve been blown away by the reaction to ‘Black Light / White Noise!’ We’re extremely proud of it, and to know that it’s been received so enthusiastically by fans old and new has been amazing. We can’t wait to hit the road with Julia and Bruno and start playing these songs live.”
 
Richie Kotzen added, “From the moment we finished the record, we knew we had something special on our hands. It’s been a joy for us both to play together in the studio and on stage, and to write some of the most exciting music we’ve ever done. Bringing it to bigger stages and even more people in the UK, Europe and South America is going to be great. We’ll see you all down the front!”
