Hot off the presses & former McAuley Schenker Group (MSG)
frontman Robin McAuley has replaced Jim Jamison as the new lead vocalist for
Survivor.
Jamison first joined the band in 1984 after original lead
singer Dave Bickler encountered voice problems before a tour supporting the
band's CAUGHT IN THE GAME album.
Bickler was a part of Survivor for their first four albums,
SURVIVOR, PREMONITION, EYE OF THE TIGER and
CAUGHT IN THE GAME. Survivor experienced their big breakthrough in 1982,
when they were asked by Sylvester Stallone to provide the theme song for his
movie "Rocky III." Enter "Eye of the Tiger," which soon turned into one of the
biggest hits of the band's career. It had an enormous impact on the Billboard
charts, soaring to #1 for seven weeks. The song won Survivor a Grammy® Award for
"Best Rock Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal," was voted "Best New Song"
by the People's Choice Awards and received an Academy® Award nomination. Thanks
to the song's success and another Top 20 single, "American Heartbeat," the album
EYE OF THE TIGER stormed to #2 on Billboard's "Top 200 Albums" chart. The song
remains a cultural phenomenon. It came in at #18 on the "Top 100 Singles" chart
in Billboard's 100th Anniversary issue and it's well over the 300,000 mark on
iTunes, where it's currently holding strong at #9 on their "Top Soundtrack"
chart.
Survivor's first album with Jamison, VITAL SIGNS, was another
huge success for the band, peaking at #16 on Billboard's "Top 200 Albums" chart
thanks to the hits "I Can't Hold Back" (which hit #13 on Billboard's "Hot 100
Singles" chart), "High On You" (#8) and "The Search Is Over" (#4). The record
made Jamison an instant favorite and the writing team of Jim Peterik/Frankie
Sullivan were solidly footed into the business of writing hits. VITAL SIGNS is
still praised by fans and critics alike as one of the best AOR albums of all
time.
Between 1993-1996 the band re-teamed with Bickler after
Jamison left Survivor to pursue a solo career. Fast forward to 2000, when
Bickler left the group once again and ultimately resulted in Sullivan
re-establishing a partnership with Jamison to head up Survivor once more. The
band continued to retain their popularity, playing concerts in North America,
Europe, and Asia year after year.
Survivor has crossed paths with McAuley here and there over
the years, but now is finally the right time for them to join forces. As
guitarist Frankie Sullivan explains, "I first met Robin in 1988 when my good
friend and Grammy® Award-winning engineer, Frank Filipetti, felt in his gut that
Robin and I would be really comfortable together and that meeting would lead to
great times and great music. Frank had just completed working on MSG's ANYTIME
album, which included the Top Ten hit 'Anytime,' which Robin wrote. At the same
time, Frank was mastering Survivor's TOO HOT TO SLEEP. It was some twist of
fate, though I will tell you Frank Filipetti has one great gut!"
He continues, "When we made the decision to replace Jamison,
I had no idea what we would do. Then it hit me--Robin McAuley! Is he available?
How can he possibly be available?! Can I be lucky yet again in my career to work
with such a talented singer? Well, the short answer, he was available, we gave
him the songs of a set list we would perform, he came to the Windy City and blew
our socks off! Robin is a pure pleasure to work with and he's such a great
person. With Robin, what you see is what you get. And boy do you get it!" This
is assured to put the bite back into the tiger and the Survivor camp is ready to
break loose from its cage. "I'm very excited at this opportunity to sing for
Survivor," says McAuley. "I can only hope the Survivor fans give me a fighting
chance. Frankie and I have worked together in the past I am extremely excited to
start writing with him again and playing with a great bunch of guys. This new
Survivor promises to be full of energy, and with such a stable of awesome tunes
to pick from, who knows what each show will bring. I'm ready!"
Drummer Marc Droubay adds, "We have played the same set list
for five years. Having a singer of Robin's caliber allows us to change up the
set list and give the fans the opportunity to hear songs live they have asked to
hear for years! Songs they have never heard live before."
The new and current line-up-Robin McAuley (vocals), Frankie
Sullivan (guitar), Marc Droubay (drums), Chris Grove (guitar/keyboards) and
Billy Ozzello (bass)-are hard at work on a new studio album which they hope to
release in 2007.
"So we embark on a totally new Survivor," says an ecstatic
Sullivan. "One that for the first time in many years is based on music and
performing. Robin loves the fans and is no doubt one of the best front men I
have ever known! I guess it's the luck of two Irishmen, McAuley/Sullivan finally
taking its place in time and where it belongs, making music and making fans
happy!"
