On the site there was opened a new section - "Unisonic-press" and the first update is interview with Michael Kiske for Rock Hard, August 2010.

Below is the part of interview with Michael Kiske for the webzine metal-rules.com which was made after Sweden Rock Festival :

Well first of all, after 17 years, how does it feel to return on stage?

MICHAEL KISKE: Very good, very good. I mean I'm a bit excited, and before these kind of things also a bit nervous but when we're on stage it's kind of good, it is very exciting, very exciting for me especially when you haven't done anything like that for such a long time... very long time.

In the past I've spoken with many people, like Tobias Sammet, who have seriously tried to get you on tour but you always refused to do it...

MICHAEL KISKE: Yeah, yeah I always didn't want to do it.

What finally made you change your mind?

MICHAEL KISKE: These two guys, Dennis [Ward] and Kosta [Zafiriou], they just asked me at the right time, that's how it is in life... you just go through phases and then just some day it's the right time and they just ask you and you feel 'yeah let's do it'. Better now than never, you know, I'm not getting younger.

That's a fact for everybody.

MICHAEL KISKE: Yeah, it's true.

So, well tell us more about your new band Unisonic!

MICHAEL KISKE: Not much yet! [laughs]

But it's more than just a name?

MICHAEL KISKE: Well it's bit more than that, I just told one of the guys from the management here that we wanted to be ready with a record already, to have something to play, but I'm actually quite happy that we do this first. Because now we feel a lot more like a band and it's good to have that first and then go into a studio and try and make a record. We have a lot of songs, already... but not enough, we have enough songs, but not enough where we say 'yeah that's it!' you know? It's good that we've done this tour now, it's not a lot, it's like four shows, this is the biggest of course [Swedenrock] I'm very surprised they've booked us anyway, you know, no record, new band...

So Unisonic is a big name already "laughs"

MICHAEL KISKE: Yeah! It's unbelievable. I'm really thrilled, really thrilled and I'm very honoured to be honest with you, we did a signing session there, was like all these people there, hundreds. Unbelievable! And they also had my solo records! And stuff like that, was really impressed, it's really good that I'm doing this, because I was out of touch, I was a bit gone for a while. But Unisonic, I think the main work lies ahead of us now, but I think it should be possible to have a record finished and released definitely this year, I guess fall or something, early Winter maybe it should be possible to release something this year.

You already mentioned Kosta and Dennis but what about Mandy Mayer (ex-Krokus, Asia). How did he end up for this band?

MICHAEL KISKE: Mandy's awesome! Do you know him?

I have interviewed him in the past.

MICHAEL KISKE: He's just the sweetest guy, and a great guitarist and I didn't even know him, it was just Dennis who just right away said 'Mandy'. And I'm very happy as you can't possibly have problems with him, that's impossible.

I know Mandy from the past when he was still playing with Krokus and it was really fortunate thing what happened for him when original band decided to reunite couple of years ago and...

MICHAEL KISKE: Yeah, absolutely and that's why we're all so happy he has a good chance now with us.

So in that way you both have a kind of a common history here?

MICHAEL KISKE: It's very nice you mention that because I've thought the same way, you know, it's like he deserves it. And it was Dennis who just immediately said "Mandy!", and he's a sweet guy. I didn't know him mainly before... yeah, I didn't know him....

Do you already have a record label for Unisonic?

MICHAEL KISKE: We have a label extremely interested, I mean they want it.

Do you perhaps mean Frontiers Records here?

MICHAEL KISKE: Absolutely, they want to have it at any cost but we haven't made a decision yet, and I'm not having any- it's the management that make that decision. I don't even want to think about it, you know? But I know there is also a major label, we are having discussions with a major label too. We want a label that really will do something for us.

You want label which really supports you and understands what's best for you.

MICHAEL KISKE: Yes, exactly, yes, in many- you know support or whatever it is to break us into any country, that's more important than pre-money or anything like that. That is a label that wants to do something for the band, that's important. It's very, very difficult these days.

The full interview is here.

Recently the Spanish site rafabasa.com made an interview by telephone with Unisonic singer Michael Kiske. A few excerpts from the interview follow:

About the creation of Unisonic:
I'm very well now, I got not only a new band, also a management and people worried about those things. Is really great. I mean, one day I meet with Kosta and Dennis here in Hamburg to offer me that idea. In that moment I felt that it was the right thing, what I have to do now. I don't know, some things need time and sometimes you need to pass for a different way, and let the time passing by when you feel a bit different of your environment, but now I'm glad with that situation, really.

How will Unisonic sound:
I would say that we're treating it as a Rock band. If we have to do things more Hard Rock then we will do it, and if we want to make things more easier we will do that. That was very important to me, we are a Rock band. I don't like to be buried in any certain musical scene, but also it is important to be open. Anyway I can't say where that band will go, or how colorful the music will be yet, because this is not a solo project it's a real band where three people write songs. There is a situation of democracy now. I don't have or had any problem with rock music since a long time ago, it was only a short period when I was tired of everything, but it was a little time.

About the compositions:
'Souls Alive', is a song written by Mandy, so I don't think it sounds like Place Vendome or Pink Cream 69. But probably it doesn't matter what we are playing, because it would have the stamp of Dennis and Kosta which I think is good. For me, the songs we have are all different. We just chose it because it had the best pre-production, but it's not the final recording yet, just a demo. It's not the album version I mean. I still have to re-record the vocals again when we record it for the album. I will probably use a more heavier tone in the chorus for example.
The soul of my songs are different. For example, the songs I wrote for the album are more like power...I don't want to say ballads, because they are not really ballads. It's like 'Silent Lucidity' of Queensryche, for example, it has that thing that I love, also Kosta. I'm not saying that it would sound like that but it has some similar style, even in the lyrics. I like the rock thing in the bridge, but I don't want to make it too long, but I like the slow tone and timeless. That's the difference with the Place Vendome stuff. I also know that Dennis won't produce Unisonic like the albums of Place Vendome neither Pink Cream 69, those bands have things of 80's, mainly Place Vendome with that AOR and classic melodic hard rock. In that case, the sound would be more fresh and modern...It's like for example, if I would sing on a solo album of Kai Hansen, it would have a lot of things that sound like Helloween. If Kai composes and I sing, there are not doubts to what it would sound like.

About the future:
Unisonic is the only thing I'm doing right now... I mean, I have other more plans. I will have more in the future, I'm sure I would do another solo album, mainly because I still have a deal signed, but well anyway it depends if I can feel completely satisfied with the artistic level of Unisonic. Perhaps I might not have a need to make one. But for example we already discarded a lot of stuff we will not use for this first album, but well, I don't know if I will use some of that stuff in my solo project. Dennis and Kosta are not making anything with Pink Cream 69, at least this year, so Unisonic is also their priority. If we make a really good album and the feedback is good, we can start touring for the next year in a lot of places, and the position of the band to the future would be really good. At that moment we're not worried about deals, sales, and those things. The illusion is big and everything is working fine.

More full English version is here.

Unisonic performs “My Guardian Angel” at the Sweden Rock Festival 12.06.2010.

Administration of the site and all Pink Cream 69 fans congratulate David Readman with his Birthday and Anniversary! We heartily wish all the best in the personal life and in the work, inspiration and new creative achievements. And of course prosperity of Pink Cream 69!

The demo of 'Souls Alive' was added to Unisonic Myspace page.

In the "Press" section there was added the interview with Andi Deris for Rock Hard, 1997. This interview is about the first Andi's solo album "Come In From The Rain" and many questions touched Pink Cream 69.

"Rock For Your Children" is the worldwide work against child poverty with David Readman:

Kosta Zafiriou made an interview for more-metal.com after Unisonic show at the на Sweden Rock Festival on June, 12:

A summary of that interview:

About the band and the future releases:

They want it to be a real band and no project. The new album will probably be out at the beginning of next year (a little bit later than planned), they apologized a little bit, that the recording/song writing process takes some time. They started as a real band 3 weeks back, when they did their first rehearsals and some jamming and it was a great experience.

Kosta Zafiriou: I was from the beginning on planned as a real band and not a project. During the festival season or afterwards we are recording the demo and search for a record label and the production will start afterwards.

They want to establish the band with several steps. With a lot of touring, recording albums and so on.

Kosta Zafiriou: We have 8 or 9 songs ready, but until now not recorded on a demo. After the following festivals we will write more songs. Everyone is involved in songwriting except me, since I have always worked more in the background. But we have 3 very talented song writers in the band.

We wanted to release an EP before the festivals. Sorry it didn't work out. But it will be worth the waiting. We have already written fantastic song and some more will follow. It's probably being the beginning of next year when the new album will be released. Soon afterwards, we will go on tour and everyone is invited.

About Sweden Rock Festival:

Kosta Zafiriou: The gig was very good, but had some delay because of the storm in Sweden and some security issues because of the broken down tower. It was a fantastic experience for such a new band.

The album version of 'A Little Time' has an effect part, but HELLOWEEN did in the past also some jamming part during this song. So Michael came with this idea and they tried this out during rehearsals. They all like JUDAS PRIEST. During the high screaming parts the crowd really gets mad.

About how will sound UNISONIC:

Kosta Zafiriou: Since we did not want to release something which is not worked out completely. That's why we didn't release demos until now or some stuff on myspace. We did not really make a secret of the whole thing, but did not spread too many rumors. But there were so many people out there who were curious how the new material will sound. We have received lots of mails with questions, if there are some HELLOWEEN songs or something similar. At that time we didn't know exactly how UNISONIC will sound. When we did our first rehearsals everyone was exited and smiled. It was a great experience.
