Sorensen with Bad Company:
Bad Company Reuniting for Summer TourBad Company reuniting for summer tour
DETROIT (Billboard) – After gathering for a one-off reunion last August, the surviving members of the original Bad Company -- vocalist Paul Rodgers, guitarist Mick Ralphs and drummer Simon Kirke -- will play a 10-show tour this summer.
The mostly East Coast dates, which kick off June 17 at the Seminole Hard Rock & Casino in Hollywood, Fla., will herald the release of Bad Company's "Hard Rock Live" DVD, which was recorded at the same venue in 2008. The DVD will be sold at this summer's concert, then released to retail on August 8.
Lynn Sorensen, the bassist from Rodgers' solo band, will step in for Boz Burrell, who died in 2006, while Howard Leese, the former Heart principal who also works with Rodgers, will play second guitar. The Doobie Brothers will be opening all but the final show in Atlantic City.
Rodgers tells Billboard.com that the success of the 2008 reunion date inspired the band to play some more concerts together."It was a really good show -- both the band and the fans were on fire," recalls the singer, who broke away from his rehearsal schedule with Queen + Paul Rodgers to do that date. "Queen does fantastic versions of my material, but it was very authentic playing with the (Bad Company) guys, very much the real deal, I guess."
And, Rodgers added, "we recorded a DVD that night, which we're very proud of. The idea of releasing the DVD was a reality and supporting it is also a reality, and I think we really need to go out and do some dates in support of it. But I wanted to keep it to a minimum and keep it somewhat exclusive, too."
The singer says he hopes to dig even deeper into the Bad Company catalog than the group did in 2008, mentioning "Silver, Blue and Gold" from 1976's "Run With the Pack" as one he'd particularly like the bring into the set.
Rodgers says additional Bad Company shows are unlikely, as he plans to take the rest of the year off to focus on writing new material.

Review from The Atomic Chaser / All Access Magazine
Sex And Violins debut release is a phenomenal piece of work. There are several different musical styles here and the band have pulled off the impressive task of cooking it all up into a flavorful gumbo of sound that you're not likely to mistake for anyone else. At the same time, they have enough rock bottom elements in their music to be accessible to most anyone who stumbles across them. An outstanding debut release by and amazing rock band. SEX and VIOLINS could very well become a force to reckoned with in modern rock. Hats off to Lynn Sorensen and the rest of the band, for one hell of an amazing job! - The Atomic Chaser, THE DRP/All Access Magazine

It will more than likely be our last show playing with Paul for some time as he is going out with Queen and we will be out with Sex And Violins. It will be a wonderful 2008!

Sex and Violins song Eva busts through IAC's Big 50!
Sex and Violins song Eva has rocketed up to 36 on the IAC Big 50 in a little over a week. It's a cool Cajun style of blues rock track with some classic Zeppelin overtones. Big guitar production and a sweet harmonic vocal delivery.
