LETTERS FROM KEVIN, VOL. 3

You might remember that about a year ago, I met a bunch of famous, semi-famous, barely famous and formerly famous musicians at the opening of the Orlando Hard Rock Hotel's new cafe, The Kitchen.
One of those was former Quiet Riot frontman Kevin DuBrow. He was very amiable - if predictably raucous - but we had a nice chat. He said he loved to cook. His favorite dish: "My meat and potatoes."
Ever since then, I've been getting e-mail from Kevin about the latest happenings with his solo career and his former band. (Previous letters can be read here and here.
Anyway, I got another one here at home yesterday. Seems Kev has some good news for all those disenfranchised metal heads out there. (Note the timestamp on the e-mail. Seems that Kevin's a bit of a night owl):
From: Kevin DuBrow Sent: Thursday, October 07, 2004 1:55 AM Subject: The Return of QUIET RIOT

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The Return of QUIET RIOT!

QUIET RIOT, the band who introduced the world to their groundbreaking #1 selling album "Metal Health," are back after an eighteen month absence. Driven by vocalist Kevin DuBrow, powered by drummer Frankie Banali, both QUIET RIOT founding members, the band is now fueled by longtime QUIET RIOT contributing bassist Chuck Wright and energized with Beautiful Creatures' guitarist Alex Grossi to bring you their prescription for Metal Health.

QUIET RIOT have entered into an equitable and legal agreement with bassist Rudy Sarzo, now with Dio, making it possible for the continuation of the group. Former guitarist Carlos Cavazo has chosen not to participate. Everyone concerned wishes each other continued success.

QUIET RIOT will be releasing their first ever official live CD "QUIET RIOT Live & Rare" in January 2005. It will include tracks from their 1983 Metal Health tour and the 1984 Condition Critical tour as well as three rare 1981 "demo" tracks for their "Metal Health" release.
