Ace Frehley, Great White, Quiet Riot to Perform at Lehigh Valley Press
Three iconic rock bands; Ace Frehley, Great White, and Quiet Riot are set to perform at the Service Electric Grandstand Stage at The Great Allentown Fair on August 30 at 7 p.m. Ace Frehley, born Paul Daniel, on April 27, 1951, and raised in The Bronx, New York City, was one of the original members of the rock band Kiss from its inception in 1973 until he left in 1982. After departing from Kiss, Ace Frehley released his solo album, “Frehley’s Comet,” in 1987. The talented musician came back to Kiss in 1996 for a reunion tour and remained with the band until 2002. His latest solo album, “10,000 Volts,” which was released in February 2024, topped the Billboard Hard Music and Rock Album Charts.
Great White, an American hard rock band established in Los Angeles in 1977, reached the peak of their career with platinum-selling albums like “Once Bitten” in 1987 and “…Twice Shy” in 1989. The band marked their success with two Top 40 hit singles on the Billboard Hot 100, including “Once Bitten, Twice Shy” and “The Angel Song.” Great White continued to produce new music well into the 90s.
Quiet Riot, a heavy metal band originating from Los Angeles in 1973, was founded by guitarist Randy Rhoads, bassist Kelly Garni, and vocalist Kevin DuBrow. The band gained immense popularity with their 1983 album, “Metal Health,” which went on to become the first heavy metal album to top the Billboard album chart. Their hit singles, such as a cover of Slade’s song “Cum On Feel the Noize” and “Metal Health (Bang Your Head),” made it to the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Tragically, lead vocalist Kevin DuBrow passed away in 2007 due to a cocaine overdose. In August 2021, Quiet Riot confirmed that bassist Rudy Sarzo would be rejoining the band.
