Bio:

Keel is an American heavy metal band founded in 1984 in Los Angeles, California. They are known for their rock anthem "The Right to Rock." The band was active until 1989, with a brief reunion in 1998. Keel reunited again in 2008 and toured in 2009 for their 25th anniversary.Keel was formed by former Steeler vocalist Ron Keel. The original members were Ron Keel on vocals, former Icon / Schoolboys member David Michael Phillips on guitar, Marc Ferrari on lead & rhythm guitars, Bobby Marks on drums and Kenny Chaisson on bass guitar. Within months, Phillips left to join King Kobra and was replaced by ex-Sexist guitarist Bryan Jay.This was the lineup for their 1984 debut album Lay Down the Law.After the album's release, Marks left and was replaced by Steven Riley, who subsequently left early in the recording of the band's second album to join W.A.S.P., and was in turn replaced by Dwain Miller, forming a lineup which would remain stable for almost 4 years. Their debut album caught the eye of KISS' Gene Simmons, resulting in his production of their second album, The Right To Rock, released on March 26, 1985. Their next and also Simmons-produced third album The Final Frontier was released on April 30, 1986. It included the single "Because the Night", a song that was co-written by Patti Smith and Bruce Springsteen and had been a hit for Smith in 1978.In 1986, Keel won the Best Band of the Year award in the 2nd annual Metal Edge magazine reader's poll, beating such noted bands as Iron Maiden and Judas Priest.In 1987, the song "Rock & Roll Outlaw" (a cover from the 1978 self titled debut of Australian hard rock band Rose Tattoo) appeared on the soundtrack of the movie Dudes. Their fourth album, Keel, was released on June 21, 1987, recorded with producer Michael Wagener. An unreleased track from the album, Ferrari's "Proud To Be Loud", would eventually wind up on Pantera's Power Metal album, which Ferrari produced early in 1988.Ferrari & Jay both left in 1988, after touring in support of the Keel album. They were replaced by keyboardist Scott Warren, later in Dio, and Baton Rouge guitarist Tony Palmucci.Their fifth album, Larger Than Live, was released in 1989 with six new studio recordings, including a cover of the 1980 Humble Pie song "Fool for a Pretty Face". Also on the album were six live tracks recorded in March 1989. Following the shooting of the music video for the song "Dreams Are Not Enough" on that same year, Ron Keel announced the disbandment of Keel. In the 1990s, Ferrari wrote a gear column for Metal Edge magazine entitled "Power Sources", and went on to form Cold Sweat with among others ex-UFO guitarist Erik Gamans, who would release the album Break Out in 1990. After the demise of that group, Ferrari appeared in both Wayne's World movies (as the guitarist for Tia Carrere's band "Crucial Taunt") and formed the band Medicine Wheel, which released three CDs. In addition, he released two solo CDs and started a music publishing company called MasterSource, employing Ron Keel to write material for the library. Ferrari also recently wrote a book titled Rock Star 101.Bryan Jay and Dwain Miller went from Keel to forming a band called Dogbone, with ex-Riot vocalist Rhett Forrester, bassist Rob Thiessen and vocalist Eddie Salz.In 1998, members of Keel got together to release their sixth album Keel VI: Back in Action. It mainly consisted of unreleased material from their previous albums, including the aforementioned "Proud To Be Loud".The band's song "Speed Demon" (from The Right to Rock) is briefly heard on the 2002 movie Men in Black II, and appears on Mike Varney's U.S. Metal Vol. IV compilation.Ron Keel has pursued numerous musiefore forming the country metal band IronHorse in 2001. In 2006, Ron left IronHorse and formed K2 Featuring Ron Keel a year later.On November 2008, Keel reunited in time to celebrate the band's 25th anniversary. All the members from The Right to Rock era have rejoined except for Chaisson. The new bassist is Ron Keel's longtime friend, Geno Arce. Their first reunion show was held in Hollywood, CA, on January 24, 2009.In addition, the band played at the third annual Rocklahoma festival on July 2009.A reunion album, Streets of Rock & Roll was released in 2010, as well as a 25th anniversary edition of The Right to Rock featuring a brand new re-recorded version of the title song as a bonus track.

Ron Keel (born 1961) is a Hard Rock / Heavy metal vocalist and guitarist for a number of bands from the 1980s to the modern day, including the glam metal band Keel.Ron Keel started his music career with a Tennessee-based band known as Lust. He came to Los Angeles with his band Steeler, which later on featured Yngwie Malmsteen, Rik Fox and Mark Edwards. Steeler became one of many of L.A.'s '80's rock acts who could not withstand the test of time. Malmsteen was the first to leave, opting to play with the band Alcatrazz (featuring Graham Bonnet) before achieving success with his own band. However, Steeler was able to record one self-titled album, released in 1983 on Shrapnel Records.After the demise of Steeler, Ron formed a new band and simply called it Keel. The band secured a record deal with Gold Mountain / A&M Records. From 1984 to 1989, Keel toured the world and sold 2 million records. KISS vocalist/bassist Gene Simmons produced two of Keel's albums: The Right to Rock and The Final Frontier. The band regrouped in 2008 and toured to celebrate their 25th anniversary.In 1990, Ron formed the band "Fair Game", a project Keel fronted with four female backup musicians. Although the band played gigs they never got beyond the demo stage. Two of the songs recorded by the band were featured on the soundtrack to the movie Bad Channels. Their complete recording sessions finally emerged in 2000 on the Metal Mayhem label billed as 'Beauty & The Beast'.Ron returned to the heavy metal music scene in 1997, when he collaborated with Japanese guitarist Akihito Kinoshita on “Project One”, the major label debut album from Kinoshita’s band Saber Tiger.In 2000, Ron formed IronHorse, which mixed country with hard rock. He left the band in 2007 to focus on other aspects of his career.He also performed as part of a Brooks & Dunn tribute band in the Country Superstars Tribute at the Fitz Casino & Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada.Prior to reforming Keel, Ron formed a band in 2008 called K2 Featuring Ron Keel, which performed many of the songs throughout his career.Ron currently resides in the Las Vegas, Nevada area. He remains active with Keel and tours with them, but also has a number of musical projects going on in the Vegas Valley. Amongst these are a "Las Vegas Stripped" open mic night (which has been held at various venues around the valley in recent years, often with special guests), and his new country group, the aptly-named Cowboy Band. He also occasionally performs acoustic shows at Joe's Crab Shack restaurants.

Album:

Like most rock stars, Ron Keel found his calling in South Dakota. And by most I mean I can’t think of another example. But it’s no joke. Since relocating to the state that gave us Mount Rushmore and the Jackalope, Ron has never sounded more at home. A little over a year from the acclaimed Fight Like A Band album, the Ron Keel Band cement their status as southern rock titans with the release of their latest record South X South Dakota. Even if it’s Southern Dakota.Ron has been embracing his southern rock roots going back a couple of decades to his band Iron Horse. And anyone familiar with his solo record Metal Cowboy and the previously mentioned Fight Like A Band record from the Ron Keel Band, knows Ron isn’t close to slowing down. And if you’ve ever witnessed a Ron Keel Band live show, I don’t need to tell you how good this band from South Dakota is. Backing Ron is longtime bassist Geno “El Diablo” Arce, Dave “DC” Cothern on guitar, Dakota Scott Schmitt on keyboards and Jeff “The Rev” Koller on drums. This band is the real deal. No studio magic and they are tighter than a parking spot in Chicago.Cover albums often come off as a little lazy but this band recording southern rock classics is almost too on point to avoid. Despite his 80’s hair metal background, Ron is more at ease as the Metal Cowboy. From the opening harmonica of the Blackfoot track “Train Train” to the live recording of their CCR medley, South X South Dakota is a showcase of great songs played by a great band. One thing is clear. When you’ve had the career Ron has had, you sort of earn the right to do what you want. It surely sounds like Ron and his band are having fun on this record. In many ways that’s the real sign of success.Standout tracks are .38 Special’s “Rockin Into The Night”, Rossington Collins’ “Don’t Misunderstand Me” (a duet with Jasmine Cain), Atlanta Rhythm Section’s “Homesick” and the lead single, an amazing rendition of the Lynyrd Skynyrd track “Red, White & Blue”. It’s badass that they chose a more recent and deeper track with Skynyrd. In a weird way this record is what we need right now. These songs are like comfort food for your ears. In an uncertain time it feels important we take a moment to reconnect with things that make us smile. And this record does that.
