On March 24th, the melodious rock band Bai Bang is back with the new album “Sha Na Na Na” via the company Pride & Joy Music. Here’s what you can read in a press release:
A driving force in the Swedish rock scene of the 2000’s, Bai Bang hails from Helsingborg, Sweden. The Glam Rock band’s music ranges from classic raunchy sleaze rock to melodic hardrock. Founding member Diddi Kastenholt writes the music and feels the best writing has been on the last 4 albums Rock of Life, All Around The World, Livin’ My Dream and Are You Ready. The latest album ‘Best of Four’ was released on May 31, 2019.
Bai Bang’s early years were formed from their own listening tastes of bands such as T-Rex, Sweet and Kiss. They got their first major tour with Scotland’s Nazareth and have since toured with Alice Cooper, Pretty Maids, Dio, Ratt, Union, L.A. Guns and many other throughout the years. Since their tour with Nazareth, Bai Bang have toured Europe, Canada, Japan and the USA.
The band has been featured at festivals like: Wacken Open Air (returning for their 6th year in 2022), Sweden Rock Festival, Rocklahoma, Hard Rock Hell Sleaze, Hard Rock Hell AOR and H.E.A.T. Festival.
Diddi comments: „Due to the pandemic we had to slow things down. But the songwriting continued.Recording in the studio was not easy to do. But finally we could work 100% again. The results came out as the best Bai Bang album so far. 11songs with great riffs, melodies and catchy hooks. A great party album. Although there are some serious songs, too.“
During the year 2021, BAI BANG signed a new record deal with Germany based label Pride & Joy Music. The new and first record ”Sha Na Na” for this label will be released on March 24th, 2023 and was mixed by Mick Kastenholt at Seven Studios, JM Studios, Lord Drum Studios and Sunshine Explosion Studio with producer Pontus Assarson and mastering engineer Martin Kronlund.
