Crash Kelly: 'Satisfaction Guaranteed' New Album Produced
By Gilby Clarke, Set For July 2006 Release


LOS ANGELES – Liquor and Poker Music has set a
July 25, 2006 release date for the sophomore recording by Toronto rock quartet CRASH KELLY, the Gilby Clarke-produced Electric Satisfaction. A track from the new album, “Ride The Wire,” is currently posted on the band’s MySpace
page: myspace.com/crashkelly.

A modern yet timeless mix of glam, classic rock and power-pop,
Electric Satisfaction is the follow-up to CRASH KELLY’s acclaimed debut, Penny Pills. That album was supported by
gigs throughout not only their native Canada, but also America, England, Ireland, Holland and Germany, where the band performed with the likes of W.A.S.P., Skid Row, Alice Cooper,
The Quireboys, Enuff Z’Nuff, Pretty Boy Floyd, Faster Pussycat, Quiet Riot, Union, Fireball Ministry and The Black Halos along the way. Additionally, the group showcased at SXSW (Austin,
Texas), CMW (Toronto), NXNE (Toronto), PopKomm (Berlin,
Germany) and CMJ (New York City).

The summer of 2005 saw CRASH KELLY support legendary Swedish glam- punks Backyard Babies on a full North
American tour, after which they returned home to perform a sold-out hometown show alongside Motley Crue. That same season, front man Sean Kelly was named a finalist in Guitar Player magazine’s “Guitar Hero 2005” competition, which led to
a live performance before such six-string luminaries as Joe Satriani and Steve Lukather at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, OH.

By year’s end, the group – which also includes guitarist Allister
Thompson, drummer Kevin Taylor and bassist Jordan Michael Stewart – had put the finishing touches on its second album, produced by former Guns N’ Roses guitarist (and star of CBS’ “Rock Star: Supernova”) Clarke. In addition to his stints in GNR, Heart and The MC5, Clarke has produced albums by acts as varied as Bullets and Octane, The Bronx and L.A. Guns, and as evident from his four acclaimed solo recordings, he’s a kindred musical spirit to CRASH KELLY. The studio pairing was magical, and Clarke even called in his former GNR/Col. Parker bandmate Teddy “Zig-Zag” Andreadis to contribute piano and keyboards to select tracks.

“The new album is all about honing in on the spirit of the rock album as a collection of great songs,” Sean explains. “Gilby had a huge role, for not only did he have all of the necessary tools to make the album I’d always heard in my head, he has a huge musical personality, great ears and a rock n’ roll heart. He went above and beyond his duties in making a record we could all be proud of. We share many of the same musical references, and he knew exactly what I was talking about when I mentioned a certain Starz recording or the guitar sound on a particular Thin Lizzy song. Plus, when you're trading solos with Gilby Clarke, you can't help but feel that all is right in your rock n’ roll universe!"
