HOLLYWOOD VAMPIRES’ BRAND NEW SINGLE “THE BOOGIEMAN SURPRISE” OUT NOW

FORTHCOMING NEW ALBUM RISE OUT VIA earMUSIC ON JUNE 21

Fresh off a triumphant seven-city North America tour this week, which included a stop at the famous Greek Theatre in Los Angeles, Hollywood Vampires have unveiled the brand new song “The Boogieman Surprise.” At the aforementioned L.A. performance, Steven Tyler, the Aerosmith frontman and long-time musical partner of Joe Perry, turned up for a guest appearance, as did Marilyn MansonJohnny Depp took lead vocals on David Bowie’s “Heroes and the “world’s most expensive bar band,” as proclaimed by Alice Cooper, delivered a live master class of rock ‘n’ roll, which included their newest track “The Boogieman Surprise.”

The song has been part of the band’s live set since the 2018 world tour and is a highlight of every Hollywood Vampires live show. Written by the band, it features the undeniable chemistry between rock and roll royalty Perry, Hollywood superstar Depp, and shock rock icon Cooper. A laid back groove, grinding guitars, and smooth strings create an epic, ominous, outsider anthem with Cooper’s vocal sounding as fierce as ever. Their stage telepathy is showcased in the accompanying live video, filmed at the Montreux Jazz Festival 2018.

Watch the video here.

Rise, the band’s second album, is some of the purest, unapologetic, and most enjoyable rock and roll of the year, made by masters of the craft and true fans of the form.

Unlike their 2015 debut record, Rise consists mainly of original material, written by the band. There are, however, in the spirit of the Vampires’ original mission, three covers of songs originally written and recorded by some fellow rockers who died far too young: an intimate and intense version of Bowie’s “Heroes,” again beautifully performed on record by Johnny Depp; the late Jim Carroll Band’s “People Who Died,” and Johnny Thunders’ “You Can’t Put Your Arms Around A Memory,” sung by Joe Perry.

Produced by Tommy Henriksen and the band, Rise arrives on June 21. Pre-order it here.
