RED DRAGON CARTEL, the band led by former OZZY OSBOURNE and BADLANDS guitarist Jake E. Lee, has been forced to postpone its previously announced shows from January 23 to January 26 due to a back injury suffered by Jake.
Says the group in a statement: “Jake and the band wanted to play very much and apologize to their fans. Jake is now receiving treatment and he hopes to be back in action shortly.”
Affected dates:
Jan. 23 – Tiki Bar – Costa Mesa, CA
Jan. 24 – RockBar Theater – San Jose, CA
Jan. 26 – El Corazon – Seattle, WA
Multi-camera fan-filmed video footage of RED DRAGON CARTEL performing the BADLANDS song “Rumblin’ Train” on December 14, 2014 at Oddbody’s Music Room in Dayton, Ohio can be seen below (footage shot and edited by YouTube user “arcme262”).
Bassist Ron Mancuso recently decided to leave RED DRAGON CARTEL in order to return to his production career. He was replaced by none other than Lee’s former BADLANDS bandmate Greg Chaisson.
Chaisson and RED DRAGON CARTEL leader Jake E. Lee were half of the short-lived BADLANDS, which also featured current KISS drummer Eric Singer and the late singer Ray Gillen (who also had a brief stint in BLACK SABBATH). After the first BADLANDS album, Singer was replaced by Jeff Martin. The group lasted from 1988 to 1993 and released two albums, “Badlands” (1989) and “Voodoo Highway” (1991) before Gillen left and was replaced by John West. Ray’s death in 1993 effectively ended any hopes of a BADLANDS reunion. The album “Dusk”, consisting of BADLANDS demo recordings from 1992-1993, was released in 1998.
