Pearl to tour with Velvet Revolver

PEARL, a name all together fresh and rooted in rock ‘n’ roll history, is flying onto the music scene breaking the social traditions that have become the U.S. rock norm. Headed up by the whiskey soaked voice of Pearl Aday, daughter of music icon Meat Loaf, this album will smash through the anonymity and secure her rightful place in rock history.

Pearl Aday has an innate talent capable of conveying powerful emotion through heart-stomping, primal, rock-and-roll singing. “There is no real female rock anymore,” states Aday. “I will be the chick to bring it back.”
In the veins of Janis Joplin, Aerosmith and all great hard rock blues filled artists, PEARL’s debut album is explosive, crushing, real and soulful with it’s natural fusion of blues and rock..
Aday’s vocal intensity proves a perfect match for the high-energy music of PEARL. “I grew up surrounded by rock ‘n’ roll, soul, blues, funk, and country. It’s what I love. It’s what I’m made of. It’s in my blood.”

PEARL was produced and engineered by Joe Barresi (Tool, Queens of the Stone Age). Aday is backed by the musical talent of Scott Ian (Anthrax), and Jim Wilson (lead Guitar/vocals), Marcus Blake (bass/vocals), and Matt Tecu (drums) of the band Mother Superior, with special performances by Ted Nugent on the blistering track “Check Out Charlie”, and Jerry Cantrell (Alice in Chains) on the dark and beautiful track “Anything”.
All the songs are of a very personal nature for Aday in speaking of her lyrics. “Check Out Charlie is about the lessons I’ve learned with sex drugs and rock n roll.” She goes on to say, “The song is so rockin’, and it’s got Ted Nugent and Scott Ian going back and forth on guitar.”

Coming from a musical background and being the daughter of Meat Loaf led Aday into music from an early age. “I don’t remember when I discovered I could sing. I was always singing. As a little girl I was singing all the time putting on shows for everyone.”
Eventually, Pearl was singing on stage with her father, Meat Loaf, touring the world for 9 years. Pearl also joined Motley Crue on their Maximum Rock world tour in 2000. Shortly after, she stepped out on her own, and began recording her solo original material.

PEARL will be joining Velvet Revolver on tour in the UK this March 2008.
"I'm really looking forward to coming to the UK”, exclaims Aday. “Especially with such an iconic band as Velvet Revolver. I’m ready. I am so ready. Let’s go! We’re gonna tear it up!”
