Michael Des Barres has been entrenched in the rock 'n' roll scene for four decades now; a European nobleman, living in Los Angeles, with an enduring love of delta blues and the rock and soul of the mid-60s beat boom. He was the front man for such seminal bands as Silverhead and Detective, and Jimmy Page personally signed Detective to Led Zeppelin's Swan Song records in 1975.
Michael Des Barres was also the singer with the touring and Live Aid version of The Power Station, one of the most iconic live acts of the mid-1980s. From 1982 to 1984, Michael was a member of Chequered Past, and in 1983 he penned the song "Obsession", a number one hit in 27 countries for LA new wave group Animotion.
After over 40 years of recording and performing, Michael has returned to his mid-Sixties roots with his latest album, 'Carnaby Street'. Revisiting his youth in swinging London, 'Carnaby Street' is an aural window into rock and roll's past through the eyes and mind of Michael Des Barres.
