Biography [link]

With the combined credentials of vocalist Oliver Hartmann and guitarist Olaf Lenk on their résumés, At Vance easily obtained a deal with Shark Records. Rainald König (guitar), Uli Müller (keyboards), Jochen Schnur (bass), and Spoony (drums) rounded out the lineup that recorded 1999's debut No Escape. European fans lapped it up, and the group's second release, 2000's Heart of Steel (featuring new drummer Jurgen Lucas) was a surprise hit in Japan and encouraged At Vance to quickly issue a followup in 2001's Dragonchaser. Barely pausing for breath, the next year saw the band switching to AFM Records, losing their bassist and keyboard player, releasing their fourth album Only Human, and then hitting the road across Europe with Rhapsody and Angel Dust. A number of personnel changes ensued in 2003, as At Vance welcomed new vocalist Mats Levén and bassist Sascha Feldmann before recording their next LP The Evil in You. A tour with Kamelot followed the release.

Later, Lenk fired König and Feldmann, replacing the latter with bassist John ABC Smith (born Dario Trobok) (ex-Scanner, ex-Gallows Pole). All guitar work was performed by Lenk, and drums by Mark Cross (ex-Helloween). This formation released a new record, Chained, which transpired to be the album with Mats Levén on lead vocals. In April 2007, At Vance's MySpace webpage announced a new record would be released in May 2007 entitled VII, introducing young singer Rick Altzi on vocals. The album was mastered at Finnvox by Mika Jussila.

Several of At Vance's albums contain transcriptions of classical pieces such as the first movement of Ludwig van Beethoven's Fifth Symphony and "Spring" and "Summer" from Antonio Vivaldi's "The Four Seasons." Their new lineup was announced on the band's webpage, adding Alex Landenburg (from Annihilator) on drums and Manuel Walther on bass.

In May 2009, the band announced via their MySpace page that Manuel Walther left At Vance and would be replaced by Wolfman Black of the German band Justice. On July 2009, AFM Records announced that the band's latest album, entitled Ride The Sky, would be released on September 18. In April 2012 band will release their new studio album via AFM Records.[1]

Fame and Fortune

Fame and Fortune is the seventh studio album by Bad Company. The album was released in October 1986. It is the first album released by the reformed Bad Company, featuring original members Mick Ralphs (guitar) and Simon Kirke (drums), with the addition of new frontman Brian Howe (formerly of Ted Nugent's band) substituting for original singer Paul Rodgers. While original bassist Boz Burrell appears credited as part of the line-up, the liner notes reveal that session player Steve Price plays on the album.

The album was produced by Foreigner producer Keith Olsen, and Foreigner's Mick Jones serves as executive producer and co-writer of several tracks.

    From Nashville to Memphis: The Essential '60s Masters

    From Nashville to Memphis: The Essential '60s Masters is a box set five-disc compilation of studio master recordings by Elvis Presley during the decade of the 1960s, released in 1993 on RCA Records, catalogue number 66160-2. In its initial format as a long box issue, it included a set of collectable stamps duplicating the record jackets from every release LP, and those from the singles pertinent to this box set, on RCA Victor. It also includes a booklet with an extensive sessionography, discography, and lengthy essay by Peter Guralnick. It was certified Gold on 11/30/1993 and Platinum on 1/6/2004 by the R.I.A.A.

    Contents

    The box comprises every master recording made by Presley during the decade and released in his lifetime, with the exception of those made at sessions for movie soundtracks or for television broadcasts, with one exception in the latter case. The set also excludes Presley's gospel recordings and live performances, but does include songs that had been recorded at non-soundtrack sessions, but which were released on soundtrack albums in order to bring the album running-time to an acceptable length, such as the sessions of May 26 and May 27, 1963. As a result of these criteria, only two of Presely's 1960s original albums are represented in their entirety in the set: Elvis Is Back! and From Elvis in Memphis; all other Presley albums of the decade, with the exception of two gospel albums, included at least one film-derived recording, or in the case of From Memphis to Vegas/From Vegas to Memphis, live recordings.

    Fame and Fortune (US)

    Fame and Fortune was a game show that aired from January 28, 1989 to April 6, 1991. It was developed by the Michigan Lottery. The hosts included Chuck Gaidica from WDIV and Diane Sarnecky, a Detroit area model.

    Each week, six contestants played. Their names were drawn from those who had submitted scratch off Fame & Fortune lottery tickets with three TV symbols.

    The show taped on Friday afternoons at Detroit's WDIV-TV and aired Saturday evening on WDIV and eight other stations around the state. Breaks during the show allowed for commercials and coverage of live drawings of the evening's Daily 3, Daily 4, Lotto and Zinger games.

    Game Play

    Fortune Round

    The object of the game was to accumulate $1,000. Dollar amounts from -$300 to +$300 were randomly hidden behind the seven letters in the word FORTUNE. One by one, contestants picked a letter and the amount was revealed and added or subtracted to the contestants tally. If the revealed amount would put the contestant below zero or over $1000, the score did not change. However, landing back at zero eliminated the contestant from the game with a $500 consolation prize.

    All For One, One For All

    by: At Vance

    a thousand miles away from home
    it seems that all your dreams and hopes are gone
    you're at the point of no return
    oh, tell me will you ever learn
    can't you see that we all belong together
    only we stay strong forever
    all for one and one for all
    we stand and fight, we'll never fall
    raise your voice and try to sing this song
    all for one
    too far away to bridge the distance
    you're growing weak, you need resistance
    you're standing out there in the cold
    you're all alone, you don't know where to go
    can't you see that we all belong together
    only we stay strong forever
    all for one and one for all
    we stand and fight, we'll never fall
    raise your voice and try to sing this song
