Sebastian Bach took the spotlight at the Rainbow Bar & Grill’s 52nd-anniversary bash in West Hollywood, California, on Sunday, April 14. A fan-captured video of his electrifying performance is circulating online.
The Rainbow Bar & Grill has been a cherished haunt for stars and music lovers alike since its inception in April 1972. Founded by Mario Maglieri, along with Elmer Valentine, Lou Adler, and others, it has welcomed a constellation of celebrities over the years. Icons like John Lennon, Elvis Presley, and Keith Moon have graced its premises, alongside legendary bands such as LED ZEPPELIN, GUNS N’ ROSES, and VAN HALEN. The late MOTÖRHEAD frontman, Lemmy, was a regular, with a statue and mural honoring his memory adorning the establishment.
In 2019, a documentary titled “The Rainbow” celebrated the venue’s rich history, featuring interviews with luminaries like Lemmy, Ozzy Osbourne, and Slash. Maglieri’s legacy extends beyond the Rainbow; he also co-founded the iconic Whisky A Go Go on the Sunset Strip, nurturing countless talents in the LA music scene.
Sebastian Bach’s upcoming solo album, “Child Within The Man,” is slated for release on May 10 via Reigning Phoenix Music. Recorded in Orlando, Florida, the album boasts 11 tracks, all penned or co-penned by Bach. Notable collaborators include John 5, Steve Stevens, and Orianthi, while production credits go to Michael “Elvis” Baskette. The album’s lead single, “What Do I Got To Lose?,” co-written by Bach, Myles Kennedy, and Baskette, sets the stage for a captivating musical journey.
To celebrate the album’s launch, Bach will embark on an international tour in 2024, spanning Latin and North America. Dubbed the “What Do I Got To Lose?” tour, it promises a blend of solo performances and festival slots, kicking off with shows in Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina, and Chile before hitting the U.S. and Mexico. The tour commences on May 10 in Jefferson, Louisiana, culminating on June 29 in San Diego, California.
Bach recently debuted “What Do I Got To Lose?” during a live performance at the Palace Theatre in St. Paul, Minnesota. The accompanying music video, directed by Jim Louvau and Tony Aguilera, captures Bach’s desert adventure, featuring cameos from actor-comedian Craig Gass and a cameo by his wife Suzanne. With his last full-length release dating back to 2014’s “Give ‘Em Hell,” anticipation is high for Bach’s latest offering, promising to be a rock ‘n’ roll spectacle not to be missed.
