NIGHT PLEASURE HOTEL – Portraits (2024) *HQ*
NIGHT PLEASURE HOTEL was founded a decade ago under the name Alex Mari & The Lovers, with the aim of writing original material. Meanwhile, in order to create good chemistry between the members, the group began playing together on several live shows, performing cover songs of legendary international artists just like Queen, Toto, Police and AC/DC.
After few line-up changes, the band was finalized with three members: Alex Mari (Michele Luppi Band, Barock Project, Ophiura, plus guest appearances as studio backing vocalist with Rhapsody Of Fire) on vocals, Gianluca Pisana on drums and backing vocals, and Sebastiano Barbirato on guitar and backing vocals. For their debut album, they established their new identity with the name, Night Pleasure Hotel.
Titled “Portraits“, the first studio chapter of this very promising trio offers a perfect slice of classic American AOR, reminiscent of Survivor (Bickler era), Foreigner, Prism and Toto. The album features contributions from talented special guest stars: Michele Luppi (Whitesnake), Paolo Caridi (Ellefson-Soto, Reb Beach, Geoff Tate), Roberto Galli (Michele Luppi’s Heaven, Danger Zone, Wheels Of Fire) and more.
Night Pleasure Hotel are sure to become one of the best newcomers of the current melodic rock scene thanks to their infectious sound, mixed and mastered by Roberto Priori (Danger Zone, Wheels Of Fire, Raintimes, StreetLore).
