Place Vendome is led by Michael Kiske (Helloween). This self titled debut includes songs set to follow a straight melodic rock sound comparable to bands like Foreigner or Journey. Production is handled by Pink Cream 69"s Dennis Ward, with songs written on purpose for the record by himself with his band mates David Readman and Alfred Koffler, with contributions also from Gunther Werno of Vandenplas. In a quite ironic twist of fate Michael found himself to work with members of Pink Cream "69, when the band"s original singer Andy Deris took his place in Helloween when he left! 10 total tracks. Frontiers. 2005.
