In 1984 four unknown teenagers from Wilmer, Texas burst onto the music scene, forever changing the face of Rock and Roll. Brothers Richie and Lester von Wagen, along with drummer Lenny Gore, would go on to re-shape our understanding of the music -- but it was frontman Jerry Dauer, firmly ensconced in the glaring lights at center stage, who would single-handedly redefine our understanding of what it means... to ROCK!
This year marks the Wagen’s 25th anniversary. In that time they’ve won 37 Grammies, spent more weeks at Number 1 than any artist in history, and are currently approaching 2 Billion records sold. Pre-orders for their Rock Band video game are shattering records around the world, and Time Magazine recently ranked the long-awaited release of their catalog on iTunes as one of the 10 Most Hotly Anticipated Events of 2010.
After three years of isolation following Lenny's tragic death, Bandwagen is finally back with a new Greatest Hits album, and will be launching a world tour with Richie's son Johann on drums, all leading up to an appearance at next year's Superbowl Halftime Show. So buy the album, see the show, and get ready to jump onboard all over again... The Wagen Will ROCK!
