Original Tyketto Reform For New Album
Original band members working on new material
The original members of Tyketto are to reform to record a brand new studio album, according to their frontman.
In a post on his official website Danny Vaughn reveals that the original members of the band, Brooke St. James (guitar), Jimi Kennedy (bass), Michael Clayton (drums) and himself, recently met up to start work on their first album proper since 1995.
"You read it correctly, there is Tyketto news. And new Tyketto news at that! Under cover of darkness, surrounded by secret service agents who were sworn to take a bullet for any and all of us, Brooke, Michael and I got together a couple of weeks ago in Las Vegas. Not only did we have a great time, but we started writing together!
"These days it isn't possible for us to spend the amount of time together that we used to when it came to writing songs but I'm pleased to say that in a week's time, we came away with 8 new song ideas that we are all very pleased with. So, with that in mind and the future ahead, we are going to start working on a brand new Tyketto album! Complete with the original line up! While Brooke is not in a position to go on the road anymore he is still playing his ass off and came up with some great riffs and song ideas, so he'll be able to record with us at some point this year. It's a long way from being done so that's all you get for now, but as things develop, I will definitely let you know.”
In the meantime, Danny Vaughan has scheduled a new solo tour of the UK for this December along with a reissue of solo albums Soldiers & Sailors On Riverside & Fearless as a double CD set entitled Reprise.
The Inspirations & Aspirations Tour will see Vaughn playing a two part show – the first a set of covers and songs that inspire him, and the second a career spanning set covering Waysted, Tyketto and his recent solo work.
