Lillian Axe To Be Inducted Into Louisiana Music Hall of Fame
04/16/2010
.
On May 16, 2010, Lillian Axe will be the first hard rock band ever enshrined in the Louisiana Music Hall of Fame. Lillian Axe will forever be remembered along side such greats as Fats Domino, Buddy Guy, Louis Armstrong, Jerry Lee Lewis, Little Richard and Allen Toussaint to name a few. Lillian Axe will be performing and headlining the "First Annual Louisiana Music Homecoming Concert" in celebration of their induction at the Lamar-Dixon Expo Center. From their humble beginnings in New Orleans, Lillian Axe rose above the cream of the bands of the hard rock genre of their era and had built a reputation that could not be denied and were becoming legendary throughout the United States. While performing an opening stint with Ratt, Poison and Queensryche, Lillian Axe caught the eye of record executive Irving Azoff who signed Lillian Axe to their first professional recording contract and the rest is history. Often regarded as an underrrated metal gem, Lillian Axe are consummate professionals, balancing song structure and melody with a heavy edge. The most impressive aspect of this enduring group might just be their innate ability to remain relevant while never shunning their vibrant and vintage heritage. With big shot producers, major and independent records deals, videos for MTV, quarter of a million records sales in the United States alone, New Orleans survivors, Lillian Axe, have perservered through the years and still to this day, record new music and tour. 2010 will be the year of Lillian Axe. A fresh outlook, but the same approach and hard work will take Steve Blaze, Derrick LeFevre, Sam Poitevent, Eric Morris and Ken Koudelka to the next level. Lillian Axe will be releasing their tenth album, Deep Red Shadows, on July 20 on Love & War Records distributed by Sony Music Distribution (RED).
