As previously reported, UFO will embark on an extensive world tour in support of the album, starting in mid-October. The band have also announced the return of original drummer Andy Parker.

A press release reads: London, Paris, Tokyo, New York: there are few international metropolises where the British rock legends, UFO, haven't filled major venues. There can be no doubt that this band enjoy performing their music, combining the present with their legendary past night after night and proving that they are likely to add a few more chapters to the chronicles of rock history. The most recent stage of their long-standing career has been the release of their Showtime DVD and double live CD, recorded during their shows in Germany, the Netherlands and Switzerland last year. The original members, Phil Mogg (vocals), Pete Way (bass), Paul Raymond (guitar, keyboards) and recently returned drummer Andy Parker, are scheduled to start their extensive world tour in October 2006. Parker was part of the UFO line-up that performed the group?s debut show in the late Sixties and has returned to replace Jason Bonham, who left to join FOREIGNER. Also on board is their accomplished guitarist Vinnie Moore, who has been part of the permanent line-up since the studio album, You Are Here (2004).

UFO's world tour is due to start mid October 2006 and will be the first since spring 2004, when the group travelled Europe and went on to make a brief detour to the States. New songs from their latest studio album The Monkey Puzzle, recorded in March and April at Tommy Newton's Area 51 Studios, will also be part of the set list this autumn. Newton already produced You Are Here and also recorded the concerts for Showtime. The press praised both releases enthusiastically, were impressed by the fresh and dynamic compositions on You Are Here and stressed the musicians' enthusiastic performacne that is omnipresent on Showtime.

Since the beginning of the Seventies, UFO have been among the most important international rock acts. Successful albums such as Phenomenon (1974), Force It (1975) and No Heavy Pettin' (1976) featuring the hits 'Doctor, Doctor', 'Rock Bottom'' or ''Lights Out' brought their worldwide breakthrough. Their 1979 live album, Strangers In The Night, was one of the best live recordings of all time. Their 2004 studio album, You Are Here, was voted among the ten best albums of all time by the British Classic Rock magazine, and Showtime was praised as a worthy successor to Strangers In The Night.

Dates for UFO's extensive tour throughout Europe, beginning mid-October, 2006 and wrapping up in early December, will be announced shortly. Also, a U.S./Canada trek will kick off in early 2007.

UFO To Guest On The Classic Metal Show Next Week

The Classic Metal Show, heard 9 PM - 3 AM (EST) Saturdays at this location http://www.theclassicmetalshow.com/ have issued the following update in regards to next week's (September 16th) show:

"After some chaotic times in the last few weeks while the show went through a good amount of technical and background changes, we'll once again get back to doing what we've done for years this week! First off, we've got two legends to have New Music Listening Parties for. First off, the great UFO are back with a brand new album called The Monkey Puzzle. It's a rocker in pure UFO style, and one that's sure to impress all of you fans of the band. We'll be doing a New Music Listening Party for it, and with any luck will be able to have someone from the band on the show.

Secondly, we come into a New Music Listening Party for KISS legend PAUL STANLEY cautiously, since we all remember the disaster his bandmate Gene Simmons put forth a few years ago. However, Paul Stanley has done a great job with Live To Win. It's a real rocker in a melodic way, and a solid representation of one of the most recognizable voices in the history of classic metal. We'll be doing a New Music Listening Party for this one, so be ready for that one.

Finally, we'll do something rare and actually have an in-studio guest rockin' with Neeley in CMS Studio A. Billy McCarthy, best known for his work with the D'MOLLS, will be joining Neeley in the studio for commentary as well as for discussions of his new world into the literary field, as the author of his first book called The Devil Of Shakesphere."
