PLACE VENDOME marked Michael Kiske (ex HELLOWEEN singer) return to ROCK in 2005. With the help of PC 69 members Dennis Ward, Kosta Zafiriou and Uwe Reitenauer plus VANDENPLAS ivory tinkler Guther Werno he delivered the goods with the first eponimous album released in 2005.

The very favorable acceptance of the first PLACE VENDOME album planted the seeds for a second recording which was produced during 2008. The songs this time were supplied by different songwriters, particularly motivated and enthusiast to be part of this new project. Torsti Spoof (Leverage) offered “Dancer”, “Changes”, “Believer” and the title-track “Streets of Fire”. Ronny Milianowicz (Saint Deamon and songwriter for Primal Fear) wrote on purpose “Surrender Your Soul”, “Completely Breathless” and “A Scene In Replay”, while Robert Sall (Work of Art, W.E.T) supplied “Follow Me” and “Valerie”. The production and the musicians’ team have anyway remained unchanged with Ward, Zafiriou, Reitenauer and Werno supplying all the necessary musicianship and skill to make this new album a success.
