Michael Monroe Reveals Live Album Details

30th July 2010

Former Hanoi Rocks frontman Michael Monroe is to release a new live album this September.

Another Night in the Sun is released on 22 September and was recorded at a private show in Helsinki in July. The record features highlights from Monroe’s solo career, a couple of Hanoi Rocks songs and two new tracks.

“Me and the guys in the band decided to record a live album – something for the fans to have, while they’re waiting for our actual studio album, due to be released in the early part of next year. We also wanted to capture the live set we’ve been playing recently, pretty much as it is, before we start playing more of our newly written material live in the future.

The show was at the legendary Tavastia Club in Helsinki and the audience was mainly people from our fan club and street teams, plus some friends we invited. The setlist was basically songs from my solo albums, the Demolition 23 album, some old Hanoi Rocks and some of our favorite cover songs, as well as a couple of our new, previously unreleased songs. It’s a very raw, “rough and ready-or-not” kind of live recording that I’m sure the fans will be pleased to have.”
