Dokken to reform

On Sunday February 21st, GEORGE LYNCH (LYNCH MOB, SOULS OF WE, ex-DOKKEN) was interviewed on-air by WSCA 106.1 FM's Turn It Up host Jim Alvino. Topics discussed included the new albums by Souls Of We and Lynch Mob, songwriting, recording with other artists, and the live shows that Lynch Mob was the opener for Dokken. The discussion of songwriting led Lynch to reveal that he has been writing songs for a new Dokken album with the classic 1980s lineup. To dig deeper into how this came together, Alvino asked if the live shows prompted this reunion.

Turn It Up: The shows that you did at the end of last year, with Lynch Mob opening for Dokken, and at the end the classic lineup of Dokken playing together again, has that now blown up into that lineup working together again?

George Lynch: "Yes, actually it has. And that's something that isn't gonna happen for a little while. We all have our respective commitments, meaning Jeff, Mick, Don and myself are all real busy this year doing other things. But we've all made a commitment to each other to dedicate ourselves to getting back together. We've already got three songs on the table and we're gonna continue to write throughout the year and put the whole business together and probably go in the studio late fall or early winter of this year and then have a record out toward late spring of next year, and then hit the road."

The entire 27-minute interview, in which Lynch expands upon the new Dokken material as well as an update on Souls Of We, and the 13-minute post-interview discussion will be re-aired during Turn It Up on Saturday, February 27th and 6pm EST. To stream the show live, click here.
