Frehley invited people like Robin Zander, from Cheap Trick, to lend his voice for a remake of Humble Pie’s “30 Days in the Hole”. In addition to Lita Ford, who covered “Jumpin ‘Jack Flash ”, By the Rolling Stones.

“‘Space Truckin’ was recorded years ago. Then I just re-recorded some parts and changed it a little. We never ended up putting it on a record, so it was just sitting around. It turned out very well. Rob Sabino is a very accomplished studio musician. We actually grew up in the Bronx together. So we go way back,” Ace Frehley said.

Recorded at The Creation Lab in Turlock, CA, Frehley recorded guitar, bass, and vocals on “Space Truckin'” with long-time studio drummer Matt Star and keyboard player Rob Sabino (Peter Frampton, Simon & Garfunkel).

  • August 06 – Warrendale, PA @ Jergels
  • August 07 – Warren, OH @ Robins Theatre
  • September 18 – Houston, TX @ Warehouse Live

I'm a Brazilian journalist who always loved Classic Rock and Heavy Metal music. That passion inspired me to create Rock and Roll Garage over 6 years ago. Music has always been a part of my life, helping me through tough times and being a support to celebrate the good ones. When I became a journalist, I knew I wanted to write about my passions. After graduating in journalism from the Pontifical Catholic University of Minas Gerais, I pursued a postgraduate degree in digital communication at the same institution. The studies and experience in the field helped me improve the website and always bring the best of classic rock to the world! MTB: 0021377/MG
