Space Invader is the name of Frehley’s latest disc.  Released in August, a double gatefold 180-gram LP version arrives Oct. 28.  Purchasing the vinyl gets you a free MP3 version of the album.  Click here for more details.

Frehley’s touring band includes Richie Scarlet on rhythm guitar and backing vocals.  Fans should recognize Scarlet from his playing on Frehley’s Trouble Walkin’ album.  The guitarist also toured with Frehley in the mid-1980s and early ’90s.

Also joining Frehley will be Cult bassist Chris Wyse who also appears on Space Invader. Scott Coogan will be behind the drum kit, having toured with Frehley in years past. Coogan was also a member of Nikki Sixx’s band for the Brides Of Destruction album and tour.

“I can’t wait to hit the road again with this new lineup,” Frehley said, providing a perfect segue to the schedule.
