THE ALARM - THE COUNTER ATTACK STARTS HERE - 7/7/07
On Saturday the 7.7.07, Mike Peters will lead The Alarm back onto the stage of Birmingham Academy for the first of seven U.K. shows to be played throughout 2007 / 08 thus fulfilling the prophecy he delivered from the stage at the Gathering. "The Alarm will be back when the three sevens clash".
Each show will also coincide with the release of brand new Alarm music. A brand new EP will be released at each of the 2007 shows leading up to the launch of the new album ‘Counter Attack’ which will be unveiled at The Gathering 2008!
Mike Peters vows that ‘Counter Attack’ will be a volatile mix of high energy rock and roll inspired by all that has inspired him. Amazingly, or not so whichever way you want to look at it, 7/7/07 is the 30th anniversary since Mike Peters exploded into life as a musician at the first ever ‘Toilets’ gig at the Palace Hotel in Rhyl during the legendary summer of 1977.
‘Counter Attack’ and all the preceeding EP’s will feature brand new Mike Peters’ Alarm compositions [Details to follow].
