_{English band Midnite City released their second album, “There Goes The Neighbourhood”, through AOR Records on 19th October. The band had released their first self-titled album just 12 months earlier. I had also posted a recommendation for that album and featured some tracks on the Shows. So far, from the new album, “Give Me Love” was included on the Friday NI Rocks Show on 5th October and “Here Comes The Party” was included on the NI Rocks A-Z Show on 23rd October.}

_{Back in the 80’s when he was Ozzy Osbourne’s guitarist, Jake E Lee was one of those iconic rock figures for rock fans like myself. After he split from Ozzy, I followed his career as he formed Badlands, an amazing band that featured the late Ray Gillen on vocals. Then, he effectively disappeared from the mainstream rock scene for about twenty years, releasing a couple of solo albums and making a few guest appearances. It was only the formation of Red Dragon Cartel and the release of their debut album in 2014 that brought Jake E Lee back into the limelight. On 9th November Frontiers Music releases the second Red Dragon Cartel album called “Patina”. When the opportunity arose to interview Jake I absolutely jumped at the chance. We spoke via Skype on 29th October and chatted for around 35 minutes about the new album, the band, future plans, collaborating on other projects, his solo records and Badlands.}

_{That interview can be read below or heard on the Friday NI Rocks Show for 9th November which is now on our MixCloud page - https://www.mixcloud.com/NIRocks/interview-with-jake-e-lee-on-the-friday-ni-rocks-show-9th-nov-2018/}
