Marc Bonilla Reissues...

[collectorschoice]

Coming Feb. 3rd on Noble Rot...

With the release of our Toy Matinee reissue, it made sense to bring out these two album by modern-day guitar hero Marc Bonilla; though he didn’t play on the album, he was in the touring version of the band, along with playing on albums by everybody from Keith Emerson to Glen Hughes. You’ll hear a lot of Robin Trower and Jeff Beck in Marc’s playing, which is another way of saying that he’s a lot more tasteful than a lot of the shred kings that pass for guitar heroes in this day and age. New notes and digi-pak packaging await…out February 3rd, 2009 on Noble Rot (distributed by Infinity Entertainment Group).
