They were the envy of all the more "earthly" rock acts scrambling
to make it in the world of '70s hard rock, each and all aspiring to
the success levels of Aerosmith, Ted Nugent, Blue Oyster Cult, Styx
and Angel label mates Kiss. But the story of Angel is of a band out
of time, playing regal progressive heavy metal and then changing to
try reach radio, in either guise, not quite clicking with enough
Kiss fans-Kiss were the devils in black and Angel were the good
guys in white-nor the fans of progressive rock or, later, those
more inclined to Foreigner, Journey and Cheap Trick. Along the way,
the band went first class, with the best gear, a killer stage show
and tons of promotion from Neil Bogart and Casablanca until they
had racked up a million dollars of debt by the end of their blessed
run, the guys often oblivious to what lesser bands had to go
through. Indeed, this is a story of a band hailed as rock stars and
indeed often headlining like rock stars, without the record sales
to justify the crazy spending that a believing Bogart threw at the
band. Then it was all over and we heard virtually nothing from any
of them (save for keyboardist Gregg) after 1981 until... well, both
Punky Meadows and Frank DiMino stormed back with solo albums. And
then, appearing outta nowhere like they did in their famous stage
show, Angel returned in 2019 with a blindingly white and quite
sprightly new album called Risen. Come celebrate what it was like
to live as the alter-ego to Kiss as we examine the band's five
studio albums of the original run, the crushing concert album, Live
Without a Net, as well as where it all went wrong and the inspiring
return of Frank and Punky through the spirited hard rocker that is
Risen.
