Arnel Fans

A metaphor for Journey’s Journey: When they formed in 1973, they used tie-dyed de rigueur psychedelic amp covers, and last year they found their new singer Arnel Pineda on YouTube. Along that journey, many different Journeys have played SPAC: the pre-Steve Perry fusion instrumental powerhouse, the Perry-led hit machine and reunion band/brands with Steve Augeri and Jeff Scott Soto Xeroxing Perry’s pop howl, more or less. Recruited from a Filipino Journey cover band, Pineda is the best Perry clone yet, a charming and grateful striver and a real feel-good story among rock reunions. Their new “Revelation” album debuted at No. 5 in Billboard.
