Night Ranger on Tour

Last year Night Ranger (official site) released what I believe to be their ninth studio album, Hole In The Sun, and they've been extensively touring ever since. The ambitious dates they have booked looks like one of their 80's stadium tours. You'd never know these guys are rockers that have been at this game for thirty years or more.

While a fan, I always found Night Ranger's music to be a bit strange. I never thought their albums, except for a few tracks on each, to be wholly accessible. The sound of each album was quite a bit different from other rock albums of the time, giving them an against-the-grain feel. However, after repeated playings, due to hearing something that needed to be heard again, the music would grow on me, and I would find myself listening to them often. The exception to this was their 1988 rocker, Man In Motion. From beginning to end, it was a perfect rock record with great hooks and musicianship throughout, and it had me from the first note.

The fact they are on such a large tour shows that either they have managed to maintain their fanbase, or are garnering a new one. Either way, I am sure they are putting on some great shows.

Over the next couple of months many of the concerts will be with Journey (official site), and then on October 29, 30 & 31, Night Ranger will be joining REO Speedwagon (official site), and Styx (official site) as part of REO's Can't Stop Rockin' Tour.
