MINDFLOW To Support UFO On US Tour
April 7, 2011, 13 years ago
Brazilian rock band, MINDFLOW have been tapped as direct support on the upcoming UFO tour of the US. The band, which is one of the most successful rock bands to come out of South America, has toured sporadically in the US over the past couple of years, but this will be their first full-fledged tour in North America. The tour is in support of their current album, With Bare Hands, produced by the legendary Ben Grosse.
Says band guitarst, Rodrigo Hidalgo: “We had the opportunity to consider other touring possibilities, but the chance to play with UFO was hands down our first choice. I have respected UFO as great musicians and their guitar virtuosos from the early days with Michael Schenker to the present day with Vinnie Moore are among the best in rock and roll.”
