Popular 80's band Geisha are back with their first new single release since 1987! Birthday is a mid tempo rock ballad featuring killer hooks and the powerful vocals of founding member Chris Doheny. Birthday was produced by legendary US producer Tom Werman who is noted for his work with Cheap Trick, Motley Crue, Ted Nugent, Twisted Sister, LA Guns, Stryper etc.
Werman offered to produce when he heard a demo of the track in early 2008. "
When I heard the demo I knew the band had a chart hit on their hands... It took me back to those crazy days of working with Cheap Trick. I thoroughly enjoyed producing the track & I'm very happy with the end result".
Birthday has a strong melodic structure with big vocals, tasteful guitars and a touch of Hammond Organ.
Geisha enjoyed tremendous success in the mid eighties with numerous chart and radio hits including Kabuki, Part Time Love Affair, Rainy Day, Fools' Way, Calling Your Name & A Girl Like You. The group produced two albums; the critically acclaimed self titled Geisha in 1985 and Midnight To Dawn in 1987 - The band sadly disbanded in 1988.
With a stack of new songs under his belt, vocalist and founding member Chris Doheny teamed up with noted guitarist and Rock Journalist Joe Matera at the tail end of 2007 to begin the next exciting chapter of the band's career.
The aptly titled Birthday is the first taste of Geisha's brand new album scheduled for release later in 2009. The band is currently in rehearsals and really looking forward to hitting the road for the first time in 22 years!
Birthday will be released through Diamond Dog Records on March 7. For further info go to www.diamonddogrecords.com and www.geishatheband.com.
