Shogun Mojo släpper snart debutalbum via bolaget Frontiers Music
Ett nytt projektband har sett dagens ljus. Det handlar om Shogun Mojo bestående av bland andra Dan Reed och Tommy Thayer (KISS) som är på gång att släppa ett debutalbum via bolaget Frontiers Music. Så här går att läsa i ett pressmeddelande:
SHOGUN MOJO is a powerhouse rock collective uniting decades of global experience and musical innovation. Leading the charge is legendary guitarist Tommy Thayer, and Dan Reed, frontman of the acclaimed Dan Reed Network.
Tommy is best known as the lead guitarist of the iconic band KISS, whose career has helped propel the group to over 100 million albums sold worldwide. Raised in Oregon and shaped by the raw energy of 1970s hard rock, Thayer honed his craft in the Portland club scene before achieving international success with Black ‘N Blue and later stepping into one of rock’s most recognizable roles with KISS in 2002. On vocals and rhythm guitar, Dan Reed brings a dynamic blend of rock, soul, and storytelling to the band. Reed’s career has included world tours supporting The Rolling Stones, RUN DMC, and Bon Jovi, and a creative evolution into filmmaking after relocating to Prague. With both Reed and Thayer spending more time together, along with their passion for creating musical and visual magic, it’s clear that SHOGUN MOJO, along with Frontiers Records, is just the beginning of something very special.
Completing SHOGUN MOJO’s lineup is a rhythm section rooted in deep musical chemistry and versatility. Sweden-based drummer and producer Robert Mehmet Ikiz contributes a genre-blending approach shaped by performances in more than 60 countries, fusing jazz sensibilities with electronic textures to create a distinctive rhythmic backbone. On bass, Stockholm’s Bengan Jonasson delivers melodic, groove-driven lines forged through decades of playing across rock, reggae, jazz fusion, and Scandinavian folk traditions. A longtime collaborator of Reed and Ikiz, Jonasson’s expressive playing and compositional instincts give the band its emotional depth and cohesion. Together, these four seasoned artists form Shogun Mojo—a band where classic rock pedigree, international influences, and fearless creativity converge into a powerful and modern sonic identity.
Co-Produced and Engineered by Joe Satriani protege, Geoff Tyson, and mixed by world renowned producer and artist, Rob Daiker, SHOGUN MOJO’s debut album is a rockin, funk fueled, celebration of life in an ever growing dystopian world.
