About this product
The White Tornado is Iowa City keyboardist and songwriter Bill Peterson, who honed his playing skills in the fertile blues and jazz jam scene of Eastern Iowa. Peterson is joined on this album by bassist Kevin Dawson and drummer Steve Bennet, as well as a host of other skilled area musicians on horns and percussion for a number of tracks. The White Tornado's debut album, Seek Shelter, consists of 10 original tracks written and arranged by Peterson. They encompass a variety of styles, from infectious piano-pop tunes to funky, beat-driven songs with almost hip-hop style delivery. All the songs benefit from Peterson's quirky sense of humor, while striving to maintain deeper, often personal meaning. Peterson grew up in Marshalltown, Iowa, where he began taking piano lessons at the age of 10. Managing to remain only subconsciously aware of the 80s and 90s music of his youth, he found himself much more intrigued by the jazz records in his parents' collection and the geek rock listened to by his Dungeons & Dragons-playing peers. Upon moving to Iowa City to attend the University in 1995 - where he has remained since - he was drawn into the multitude of blues, jazz and funk jams in the area, garnering the nickname The White Tornado and over the years obtaining a hands-on education in musical theory and stage performance that perhaps delayed obtaining his degrees in Physics, Mathematics, Astronomy and Philosophy. Peterson has played with a number of groups in the Iowa City area, including the Blue Tunas, the Johnny Kilowatt Band, and Public Property. An avid writer of stories, poems and songs since youth, it was inevitable that Peterson's music would spawn it's own project eventually. From 2004-2005 Peterson fronted the drums, bass and piano trio Band for Life, performing in the Iowa City and surrounding areas, playing much of the original music that would form the basis of the

2021 . With each new , Elias Bender Ronnenfelt, Jakob Tvilling Pless, Jojan Surrballe Wieth and Dan Kj'r Nielsen refigure the contours of a typical Iceage song. This is especially true of Seek Shelter, their 5th LP. Enrolling Sonic Boom to produce the record and guitarist, Casper Morilla, the album sees Iceage's momentum pushing them in new, expansive directions, exploring a new emotional palette, replete w/ romantic piano balladry, invocations of patron saints, and a gospel choir.

Blue Coupe comprises the long awaited reunion of Albert and Joe Bouchard, founding members of Blue Öyster Cult, on drums and guitar respectively, and bassist, Dennis Dunaway, founder of the Alice Cooper Group. Albert is the co-writer and arranger of many of Blue Öyster Cult's biggest hits including 'Cities on Flame with Rock and Roll, R.U. Ready to Rock' and many others. Joe wrote 'Hot Rails to Hell, Astronomy' and co-wrote many other well loved BÖC songs. Dennis co-wrote Alice's biggest smash hits including 'I'm 18, School's Out' and 'Under My Wheels.' Together they have sold over 15 million albums in the United States alone and have been awarded over 30 gold and platinum records worldwide. In 1962, Dennis met Vince Furnier (a.k.a. Alice Cooper) in Phoenix, Arizona in Art class and as teammates of their high school track team. Their first musical show was for their high school talent show where they were bitten by the rock and roll bug and began their long journey to the top of the rock pile when they hit it big as Alice Cooper (the group, not the current solo artist) in the early 70s. The Alice Cooper group invented theatrical rock shows that set new standards for all bands in their wake. They are credited with spearheading the InchGlamInch movement as well as Theatrical Rock and Shock Rock. Dennis' wife, Cindy, designed and made the original sequined and chrome costumes that set the Alice Cooper group apart. After years of touring and hitting the top of the charts, in 1975, the original group decided to take a break to record solo albums. Alice began his solo career and the original group has only reunited for special one-night performances since. Dennis has recorded several albums with Joe Bouchard, including Back From Hell by Bouchard Dunaway and Smith, the InchSmithInch is Neal who is Dennis' brother in law and the original Alice Cooper group drummer.
