JAKE E. LEE's RED DRAGON CARTEL Recruits Canadian Singer PAUL D'EATH

RED DRAGON CARTEL, the band led by former OZZY OSBOURNE and BADLANDS guitarist Jake E. Lee, has recruited Canadian singer Paul D’Eath (CITIZENS UNITE, MUSHROOM TRAIL) to front the group for its upcoming shows.

Video footage of the D’Eath performing with RED DRAGON CARTEL on June 5 in Janesville, Wisconsin can be seen below.

RED DRAGON CARTEL‘s last singer, Chas West (Jason Bonham, LYNCH MOB, 3 LEGGED DOGG), made his live debut with the band in Portland, Oregon on May 1 — only days after Michael Beck played his last show with the band on April 26 in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.

Beck made headlines in April when he sang the lyrics to Osbourne‘s “Now You See It (Now You Don’t)” while the rest of RED DRAGON CARTEL played “The Ultimate Sin” at their first show together in Miami, Florida. Beck later blamed the mixup on the fact that he “had no monitors at all” and he “couldn’t hear anything.”

RED DRAGON CARTEL in March announced the departure of singer Darren James Smith, who handled lead vocals on the band’s self-titled debut album. The group also parted ways with bassist Greg Chaisson, who exited RED DRAGON CARTEL because he could “no longer take any more time away from [his] regular job.”

Chaisson‘s replacement in RED DRAGON CARTEL is Anthony Esposito, who has previously played with Ace Frehley.

RED DRAGON CARTEL‘s debut CD sold around 5,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 69 on The Billboard 200 chart.

RED DRAGON CARTEL‘s setlist includes new material like the singles “Feeder” and “Deceived”, as well as major hits from Jake E. Lee‘s glorious past: “Bark At The Moon”, “The Ultimate Sin” and “Rock ‘N’ Roll Rebel” (all originally recorded by OZZY OSBOURNE), as well as “Shine On” and “High Wire” (BADLANDS).
