Joint Venture World Peace Concert Wyld Valley World Tour San Francisco Bay Cruise New Baby Ted in Accident Kids' Art on Cover |
Joint Venture
Shock's managing director Williams Donaldson said, "I think Wyld Stallyns in 1997 are a relevant force in world music. The fact the band comes with an established track record internationally is the icing on the cake as far as we're concerned. The new album is as fresh and exciting as any I've heard in recent years. The band members are committed, fired up and unique, and I think Shock's aggressive and innovative approach to marketing the album, both within Australia and internationally will result in a rewarding partnership that will make perfect sense." |
