Ray West's New Band, Hostel Inc., Played With Great White @ Don Hill's 1-22-08

Ray West's (x-vocalist for Spread Eagle) new band Hostel, Inc. was also on the bill at the Great White show last month. It is great to see Ray back in action after he took a number of years off from music. The band has a solid hard rock sound and there are three demo tracks streaming on Hostel Inc.'s MySpace page.

Ray just appeared on Maximum Threshold radio to talk about everything from his days in Spread Eagle to Hostel, Inc. and the show is available as a downloadable podcast.

Here are some of my pictures of Hostel, Inc. from the Don Hill's show:









Here are the band's upcoming tour dates:

February 22, Dingbatz, Clifton, NJ
February 27, Webster Hall, NYC (supporting LA Guns)

Great White - Don Hills, NYC 1-22-08 (25th Anniversary Show)

G*d...I have really been working too much these days as the Great White show was a couple of weeks back.

Great White made their only area appearance on their 25th Anniversary tour at a show at Don Hill's. It was a really strong bill this night (Great White, Ray West's new band Hostel Inc. and Vicious Disorder) for only a $10 ticket.

Great White took the stage at the early hour of the morning (I think it was after midnight) and played a great set of classic tunes from their back catalogue, some tunes from the new CD "Back to the Rhythm" and Zeppelin cover or two. Aside for some initial sound problems when the band first took the stage, the band sounded great.

Great White's latest CD is "Back to the Rhythm" which came out last summer on Shrapnel Records. The band is currently finishing up a UK tour and there are rumors that the band will be touring the States sometime over the summer.

I'll follow up this post with pictures of Hostel, Inc. (some of my pictures are currently posted to the band's MySpace page) and Vicious Disorder. Does anyone know who the first band was? I caught the end of their set but didn't see their name listed on the bill.
