Special announcement: As many of you may know by now, Michael Schenker's Temple of Rock is currently in the studio recording a new album. The album will be called "Spirit on a Mission".

More to be announced soon

First week of writing with Michael Schenker went well. We have a few solid ideas down that the band can build on. The catchiest title so far is "fSharp 146". Sounding good though. No rush, its not out til 2015. Still have the European tour to do to promote "Bridge the Gap" Starts late October til Christmas..

The first show in more than two months, hence Michael Schenker, brought the A Team to his ongoing Bridge The Gap tour, that's Doogie White (vox), and ex-Scorpions Herman Rarebell (drums) and Monty Python funny man Eric Idle doppelganger, aka bassist Francis Buchholz. Beginning 10 minutes late, with the monstrous UFO hit "Doctor Doctor", most of the choices were from Schenker's various incarnations, including MSG, the Scorps, and naturally, the English hard rockers. Only "Where The Wild Wind Blows", "Horizons" and Dio dedicated "Before The Devil Knows You're Dead" were culled from Bridge The Gap. Despite teh balmy temperatures, Schenker wore a black knit stocking cap, although the sleeveless shirt showed there's not a lot of meat (insulation) on those bones. After "Lovedrive", the former Rainbow singer queried from the catwalk, "Friday afternoon in Germany. Why aren't you at work?" "Another Piece Of Meat" and then some Schenker noodling ("Assault Attack"), that led into "Armed & Ready". Not sure why they played "Rock You Like A Hurricane', especially at the expense of another MSG classic, but it's certainly not essentially, especially outside the USA, although it does give Rarebell the opportunity to lead the "Here I am" chant from behind his kit. "Rock Bottom" was a fitting, if not unexpected finale. Great stuff.

Hi Everyone

Michael Schenker's TEMPLE OF ROCK is back in the recording studio for a brand new album.

They will be continuing their "Bridge The Gap" - World Tour with summer festival dates and then touring Europe & the UK in Nov/Dec 2014. It will be a brand new program, including new material from their unreleased album. The new album is to be released in Spring 2015.

This KORG Triton Le has been rocked on all MSG US Tours between 2003-2012!!

This keyboard has also graced the stage with many Legends of Rock such as:
Michael Schenker, Carmine Appice, Robin McAuley, Leslie West, Gary Barden, Warren Di Martini, Pete Holmes, Rev Jones, James Kottak, Elliott Dean Rubinson, David Van Landing, Michael Wilton and Parker Lundgren, Vinnie Moore, Uli jon Roth, Phil Demmel, Jeff Martin, Chris Slade, Chas West, Michael Voss, Kelly Keeling, Robby Crane, Brian Tichy, and many others.

It is still in great shape and perfectly functionable. I still record with this workhorse.She soundz and plays killer!! Still with original tape markers(that can be removed), my "On Stage Helpers" to see in dark visibility! Obviously, this keyboard is used ( but with as much care, and pampering as possible at home and from the road) and it comes as is... so Please...ROCK ON!!!

This iconic piece of rock history will soon be possibly going up on Ebay. Contact Lisa Chiarenza at Lisa@RockitManagementandPublicity.com for more details or possible purchase before Ebay listing.
