REMINDER: Billy on Rockline TONIGHT 4/14

April 14th, 2008

Courtesy of the ASHES dIVIDE newsletter:

“We don’t know if Billy Howerdel’s new band is rising from the ashes of A Perfect Circle or not, because we aren’t completely certain that APC has pulled the plug. We do know that there has been talk that they are simply on hiatus. Time will tell. We know there has also been talk of a solo album from Billy in the rumor mill for quite some time. Billy will be the first to tell you that “Keep Telling Myself It’s Alright”, the debut from Ashes Divide, really isn’t a solo album in the traditional sense as there are many others who help out, notably drummer extraordinaire Josh Freese and Concrete Blonde’s Johnette Napolitano. Also joining the proceedings are Maynard James Keenan’s son Devo ..o, legendary Nine Inch Nails and APC member Danny Lohner and Matt Skiba of Alkaline Trio. But the truth is that this is a magnificent display of Howerdel’s immense and diverse talents as he sang, played bass, handled the guitar work, laid his hands on the keyboards, ordered the sandwiches and coffee and turned off the studio lights every night. Other than that…..

Billy has his touring band together with Jeff Friedl on drums, Matt McJunkins on bass and Andy Gerold on guitar. Good thing too as they have some May concert dates scheduled and then embark on Linkin Park’s annual summer bash, Projekt Revolution, with many of our frequent ROCKLINE guests including, Atreyu, Chris Cornell and 10 Years (joining us May 12 with the national radio premiere of their new album). With just a few clicks and keystrokes you can join Ashes Divide online at www.AshesDivide.com and www.MySpace.com/AshesDivide and by simply turning on your radio, or joining us online, you can directly connect with the ultra-talented Mr. Howerdel on the next edition of ROCKLINE as he serves as tour guide for one of the most outstanding releases we’ve heard in years. There are eleven shimmering, seductive and sensuous new songs included on “Keep Telling Myself It’s Alright” and we plan on making every effort to play seven songs in their entirety and abridged “teasers” of four others, while still allowing some time for you to help us interview Billy and learn as much as we can about this compelling album.

Join us for an extraordinary evening with Billy Howerdel of Ashes Divide exclusively on our next ROCKLINE!”
