Presto Ballet news

[tsorl]

From Blabbermouth:

PRESTO BALLET, the project led by ex-METAL CHURCH guitarist Kurdt Vanderhoof, will debut its new lineup — consisting of Vanderhoof, former METAL CHURCH singer Ronny Munroe, drummer Bill Raymond, keyboardist Kerry Shacklett and bassist Bobby Ferkovich — when it opens for DREAM THEATER on June 21 at Roseland Theater in Portland, Oregon.

PRESTO BALLET is currently working on its third album for a late summer release via ProgRock Records.

Commented Munroe: "We have been working on PRESTO BALLET's third album and are hoping it will be released later this summer or early fall.

"I'm excited about this new opportunity and although metal has always run in my veins, I like to challenge myself with new creative opportunities.

"I hope you'll support me in this new venture and for those of you in the Portland area, please come out, check out the show and say 'hi.'"

The new album of course is great news but I'm not thrilled to see Scott Albright leaving. And Ronny Munroe filling in is a bit odd. He's a fine singer but I hope Presto Ballet will still be 100% Presto Ballet and not try to be Metal Church as well at the side.

I hope Presto Ballet will still be 100% Presto Ballet and not try to be Metal Church as well at the side.

Not happy with the news either. Presto Ballet is a great band totally different form Metal Church (past or present), this changes smell again like it happened to MC a turnover into another Vanderhoof band.

Gonna see when new material comes out to light (if so).
