ANVIL To Play Canada Day Celebration In Taiwan
June 28, 2012, 12 years ago
Canadian heavy metal heroes ANVIL have announced they will play Celebration Canada in Taiwan on July 1st. The show, being held at the Legacy Club in Taipei, Taiwan, is part of a two day festival to celebrate Canada’s 145th birthday being organized by the Canadian Chamber of Commerce of Taiwan. It will be the first time that the trio, including new bass player Sal Italiano, have played in Taiwan.
Celebration Canada is the largest Canada Day celebration outside of Canada. The popularity of Anvil! The Story of Anvil in Taiwan was the catalyst to the promoter approaching Anvil to play the show. The movie did extraordinarily well in theatres and via pay-per-view in Taiwan.
“I'm a proud Canadian and playing on Canada Day in Taiwan is living proof Canadians are proud of Anvil,” says Steve “Lips” Kudlow. “It’s such an honor and privilege for Anvil to be part of this celebration.”Following their performance in Taiwan and the success of their Canadian tour earlier this year, Anvil will embark on another block of Canadian dates which will take them from Toronto to Vancouver. Anvil also plays at the Skogsröjet Festivival in Skogsröjet, Sweden on August 10th, and Bloodstock Festival in Catton Hall, England on August 12th.
Anvil is also currently writing for their next album, which is expected to be released in spring 2013.
