The new Coney Hatch Live album arrived the other day, and it looks and sounds great! Love the simple ‘bootleg’ white packaging, which came autographed [limited numbers], with an insert with track-listing and basic info, and even the LP centers are plain white [so of course I started with side B!]. Here is the press release below. If you’re a fan, check in to ordering [CD copies also available]. A great addition to my CH collection. Long overdue, but well worth the wait. Check out my interview from last month with Andy Curran for more talk on this album, and other Coney Hatch discussion – https://outsiderrock.wordpress.com/2021/03/07/andy-curran-coney-hatch-live-interview/ *Check out the links below for further interviews.
| ICONIC CANADIAN HARD ROCK QUARTET CONEY HATCH RELEASE “LIVE FROM THE EL MOCAMBO” A LIMITED EDITION 2 LP VINYL COLLECTORS AUTHORIZED BOOTLEG One of Canada’s most beloved and iconic hard rock bands , Coney Hatch first rose to prominence back in the golden era when vinyl was king – and the preferred format of most music fans. So, it makes perfect sense for Coney Hatch – Carl Dixon (guitars/vocals), Andy Curran (bass / vocals ), Dave Ketchum (drums, vocals) and Sean Kelly (Guitar /vocals) – to finally release their first ever long awaited live record on a 2 LP vinyl set. The set list reads like a “best of” for any Coney fan including songs from their debut classic 1982 Anthem / Mercury album along with selections from ‘Outa Hand 1983, Friction 1985 and Coney Hatch Four 2013. Coney Hatch enjoyed major radio airplay success in Canada and the USA in the early 80’s and with the help of MTV landed many prestigious special guest slots touring along side Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Krokus, Accept, Ted Nugent, Cheap Trick, Peter Frampton, Triumph, The Tubes and Edgar Winter to name a few. They became instant press darlings with Kerrang Magazine & Sounds but didn’t actually tour overseas until 2014, where they headlined Firefest in Nottingham UK. This first ever Coney Hatch Live record set is available independently now through the bands official web-store- https://rockpapermerch.com/collections/coney-hatch as well as Isotope distribution https://www.isotopemusic.com/contact.html for retail. A limited amount of CDs will soon be made available at these same outlets.

That album was also the highest-charting of the band’s career and earned them a Gold certification in Canada. “We’re really proud of Live at The El Mocambo. It ’s our first ever live record record and it captures the spirit and true sound of our band. There’s some really great moments from our return to the iconic El Mocambo and it would not have happened without the passion of Elmo CEO Michael Wekerle…huge high five to Wek! ” – Andy Curran Coney Hatch Live @ The El Mocambo Track Listing: Side A We Got The Night Stand Up First Time For Everything Wrong Side of Town Side B She’s Gone Boys Club Don’t Say Make Me Some Like It Hot Side C Hey Operator Blown Away Fallen Angel Side D Devil’s Deck Monkey Bars Marseilles No Sleep Tonight The 15 song set was captured during the bands Nugs.net live stream show last October 3, 2020 and was engineered by Doug McClement and mixed by Vic Florencia, both are Juno Award winning engineers.

It is in the bottom half at least. You aren’t getting at least the Top 5 as they’s probably stay with the band.
