Missing Persons - Missing in Action on March 4th 2014

After a long absence from the music scene, Missing Persons featuring original vocalist Dale Bozzio will return to the Southern California stage for two special concerts at Saint Rocke in Hermosa Beach on January 10th and at The Coach House in San Juan Capistrano on January 19th.
 
Such memorable hits as “Words”, “Destination Unknown” and “Walking In L.A.” made Missing Persons a household name in the ‘80s and a staple of early MTV thanks in part to the cutting edge fashion statements of Bozzio

After I had listened to “Battle Scars”, which is an exceptional album… I was more wary of how they could beat it… or at least reach it.
