And from the first chord we played together, I think we all felt that this was something we could really build and turn into something special.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"U35CBTCWCRFZVEE2UBG2TVKC34\">Blabbermouth said that Angel\u2019s \u201cdazzling mix of glam rock, hard rock, and progressive rock\u201d combined with its \u201coutrageous, white-satin-heavy image and equally over-the-top stage show,\u201d made it one of the \u201cmore colorful arena rock bands of the mid \u201970s and early \u201980s.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"7CGM7MNK5VDZNPTPD3UTZCVTW4\">The Washington, D.C. band was originally discovered by legendary Kiss frontman Gene Simmons. <\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"JN7XHMPVSVDVVG6SW6USG7HPKQ\">The farewell tour is slated to begin March 27 in Edwardsville, Illinois. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.pennlive.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There is good news for fans of the 1970s glam rock band, Angel.
