Bio:
Pink Cream 69 is a German hard rock/heavy metal band founded in 1987 in Karlsruhe, Germany by Andi Deris, Dennis Ward, Kosta Zafiriou and Alfred Koffler. The band gained their first contract by winning music magazine Metal Hammer 's newcomer competition in Ludwigsburg one year after forming. In 1994, Andi Deris left the band to join German power metal band Helloween. He was replaced by British singer David Readman.The band, often referred to as The Pinkies, became a five-piece in 2003, when Uwe Reitenauer was hired to support neuropathic guitar player Alfred Koffler.On 5 March 2012 it was announced that drummer Kosta Zafiriou had left the band, due to his various activities as a manager at the company Bottom Row and as the drummer and manager of the new band Unisonic, which also features Dennis Ward. He was replaced by band's good friend and longtime drum tech Chris Schmidt, who has previously played with Sunstorm project (along with Dennis Ward and Uwe Reitenauer), Harry Hess' FIRST SIGNAL and more.
Album:
Pink Cream 69 return with their new release, “Headstrong”, on November 10, 2017! "Headstrong" marks the 30th anniversary of the German hard rockers Pink Cream 69. And what better way to celebrate than by adding yet another gem to their already spectacular discography! Produced by bassist (and renowned producer) Dennis Ward, "Headstrong" sees the same line-up from 2013’s well-received “Ceremonial” album return to deliver fans another hard rocking set of quality songs on their 12th studio album overall. As a special treat, the new release includes a bonus live album featuring songs from across the band’s catalogue.Dennis Ward says: "When we released our first album in 1989, we were proud to be a guitar band that yielded powerful guitar riffs and soaring vocal melodies. Since the release of 'Ceremonial', it became evident to us that we had to take a step back to be able to make two steps forward, so we made a master plan: resurrect our earliest form of songwriting incorporating these riffs and melodies, reducing the amount of keyboards and keeping the production to a minimum of sonic layers in order to be as true as possible to our sound, the sound of fat and crunchy guitars. I feel that the new album is a high-energy recording that redeems us as the powerful rock 'n' roll band we used to be. After weeks of cross checking the production, listening to the CD in my car, I take great pride in saying: mission accomplished. We look so very forward to presenting our new baby."
