Release

Mr. Big are back with a brand new album!

Hard Rock’s original supergroup Mr. Big are back with a vengeance with their new album '...The Stories we could Tell'. The band’s eighth studio album is slated for release in the UK on Monday 22nd September, followed by North American release on Tuesday 23rd September via Frontiers Music Srl.

"This new album Rocks!!! I love playing guitar, singing, and writing with Eric, Billy and Pat. And after twenty five years, I'm proud that we can make an album that is melodic, powerful, interesting, groovy, and emotional." - Paul Gilbert (Mr. Big)

"We wrote songs individually and collectively on this new record, to me this is the album that we’ve threatened to make decades ago. A classic, groovin', Blues Rock record with the spirit and spark of our rock and soul idols from the 70’s. Hells to the yeah it’s a Mr. Big album complete with all the trimmings. I think whether you've been with us from the beginning or just starting, you’re going to dig where we are coming from and where we’ve been." - Eric Martin (Mr. Big)

The original line-up comprised of Eric Martin (Vocals), Paul Gilbert (Guitar), Billy Sheehan (Bass) and Pat Torpey (Drums), are back with some of their most powerful material to date. The new album is the follow-up to the 2011 release 'What If' that marked the band’s return to their signature hard rock sound. The new album is available for pre-order via Amazon UK. Mr. Big kick off their European tour on Friday October 17th at London’s Koko. Visit the official Mr. Big website to view all their 2014 tour dates.

The band recently announced that drummer Pat Torpey has been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. The diagnosis has left him unable to perform his normal drumming duties on the band’s upcoming World tour. He did complete all of the drumming on the upcoming album, but unfortunately touring will be too difficult for him at the present time. Mr. Big intends to announce a drummer in the near future who will handle most of Mr. Big’s drumming duties on the fall 2014 tour and expects Torpey to jump on the drums on suitable live songs as well as participating in the group’s acoustic set.
