"Outer SPace" Extra Notes by
Mike Osegueda / The Fresno Bee :
Jesse Mendez and David Askew penned the song "Outer Space," which is the first single off
Ace Frehley's album "Anomaly".
"Outer Space" will be released Tuesday as a single through music outlets such as iTunes. Local music venue Audie's Olympic, 1426 N. Van Ness Ave., is having a Kiss-themed party at 9 p.m. Tuesday to celebrate the achievement. There's no cover charge. Kiss costumes are encouraged.
"It's one of my heroes singing my words and playing my riffs," says Askew, 44. "I'm just kind of beside myself with the whole thing still." Adds Mendez, 40: "I'm still soaking it all in. I'm excited, but the same time I don't know what's going to happen next." Neither of them ever guessed this would happen.
The year 2000 was the song's genesis. Askew started it on his acoustic guitar in his apartment and took it into the studio to finish with Mendez. At the time, they were playing together in a band called Shredmill.
They thought the song was good, recorded it as a demo and sent it around to record labels hoping for a bite. Nothing came.
The song sat, untouched and not totally finished for years. Mendez and Askew kept playing music in various bands, not really concerned with "Outer Space." The song came back into their orbit when Frank Munoz, who managed Mendez's band Tte Napoleon Blown Aparts, started working with Frehley.
Munoz remembered "Outer Space" and thought it would fit well with the album Ace was planning.
"We were putting together the track list for the CD and we both agreed that 'Outer Space' would be a great re-introduction of my persona -- the Spaceman -- to my fans," Frehley said via e-mail.
"It's a heavy song." Mendez met with Frehley a few times during the recording process, as the song got adjusted and tinkered to fit Frehley's style.
"I didn't know what to expect," Mendez says. "Him being in Kiss and doing what he's done and being where he's been. But he was really down-to-earth. We had a few discussions over sushi." Now both Mendez and Askew are hoping this leads to more than just dinner.
They'll get a percentage of the sales from the single and from the album.
Plus, if the song ever gets used in video games, movies, commercials or anything else, they'd get a cut of that too.
