Surgeland Records Sets August 28th Release Date for Paris Keeling CD End of Week Release for Paris Keeling's End of Ride Revisited CD
August 7, 2009
For Immediate Release
Atlanta, GA - Surgeland Records, a division of Serge Entertainment Group LLC, has announced an unconventional release date of August 28th for "End of Ride Revisited" by rock band Paris Keeling. The release date falls on a Friday rather than the standard Tuesday release date protocol the larger labels follow. The 16-song set features songs previously released on the 2006 Paris Keeling CD "End of Ride" along with bonus tracks and remixes, and contains the renowned vocal talents of Kelly Keeling (Baton Rouge, Michael Schenker Group, Blue Murder, Carmine Appice's Guitar Zeus, King Kobra, Trans-Siberian Orchestra, O'2L) and the lauded guitar and production work of Marty Paris (The Marty Paris Band, Permanent Reverse) along with several celebrity musicians. The collaboration between Paris and Keeling began several years ago with the culmination of their songwriting styles blossoming into melodic rock/pop political and relationship-based songs.
"This album has come together very nicely," explains Sandy Serge, Surgeland Records' president. "We decided to be a bit unconventional and opted for an end of week release, It goes well with the album title. Both the music, which features some of the most heralded musicians on the music scene today, and the artwork, are phenomenal. Our graphics designer Gary Kelley at Creative Ninjas did a superb job at developing our concept. We hope Paris Keeling friends and fans will be very pleased."
All presales orders will be shipped and the CD will be available online on the 28th at http://www.pariskeeling.com and http://www.kellykeeling.net. It will also be available digitally shortly thereafter through iTunes and other digital download sites.
Numerous celebrity musicians were recruited for this CD including Carmine Appice, George Lynch, Don Dokken, Al Pitrelli, Shane Gaalaas, Erik Norlander, Nate Howell, and The Aevia Trio featuring Diane Cox, Maud Kelley, and Juli Roach, with the core band consisting of Rick van Benschoten, Matt Goeke, Gintas Janusonis, Marty Paris, and Kelly Keeling.
CD presales orders are available on the web site at http://www.pariskeeling.com for a discounted price up until the 28th.

Atlanta, GA - Powerful vocalist, multi-instrumentalist, and former Atlantic recording artist Kelly Keeling (Baton Rouge, MSG, Guitar Zeus, John Norum) could very well be one of the busiest musicians in the biz. After recently completing his own solo project which is slated for release in March, 2005 on Mascot Records, forming his own touring band, working with Don Dokken on the July, 2004 Dokken CD release "Hell to Pay", recording a George Lynch (Dokken, Lynch Mob) album, touring the country for six weeks with the George Lynch Band, and touring in the USA and Europe with Erik Norlander, Keeling is now ready for five acoustic concerts of his own in the Atlanta area.
"Keeling´s new music will grab your soul with intensity. The power his voice had when performing and recording with heavier rock acts in the past is still prominently evident and is now converted to pure emotion, conveying his poignant life experience in lyrics with astonishing effect. You can hear influences from Coldplay, Jeff Buckley, The Beatles, Temple of the Dog, and Deep Purple, but Kelly´s own talent in songwriting, vocalizing and instrumental abilities is the real star here." - Music Morsels
