November 16, 2008, 15 years ago
As previously reported, organizers of Germany's Keep It True Festival have announced details regarding the 13th instalment scheduled for April 2010. Confirmed acts include HADES, and guitarist Dan Lorenzo has checked in with the following update:
"Yes, the news is true. The good people from the Keep It True Festival in Germany have made Hades an offer we couldn't refuse. Myself, Alan (Tecchio/vocals), Ed (Fuhrman/guitars), Jimmy (Schulman/bass) and Ron (Lipnicki/ drums) are going to play in April of 2010. Yeah, it's a long way off, so Scott LePage (bass) has agreed to fill in for whichever one of us may die before then! We'll need to do a show in New York City or New Jersey the night before we leave (we need to rehearse with Jimmy who is living in L.A.), and we actually have recently passed on some REALLY generous offers from local clubs asking for a reunion. It's tough with Jimmy in L.A. Until then, hopefully our first DVD, Bootlegged In Boston 1988, should suffice. It will be out worldwide January 23rd on Cruz Del Sur Music."Other acts confirmed for the Keep It True Festival include WHIPLASH, TYGERS OF PAN TANG, SATANS HOST (with Harry Conklin - first European show ever), OBSESSION (first European show), SIREN (with Doug Lee), ADX, HEART OF CYGNUS, CRYSTAL VIPER and STRIKER.
Two headliners - 20 bands in total - will make up the festival held at Tauberfrankenhalle in Lauda-Königshofen. Tickets for the two-day festival will be available at KIT 12 in April 2009.
