The End Records report that Finland’s monster rock n’ roll band LORDI, who will release The Arockalypse March 20th, on The End, have announced several dates of their upcoming inaugural tour of North America.
The 'monster invasion' will start April 20th, 2007 in Anaheim, CA at House Of Blues and end with a two-night stint at the Bamboozle music festival in East Rutherford, NJ.
About touring in North America for the first time, frontman Mr. Lordi says, "I’m really anxious to see how the audiences are gonna react to us. From our point of view touring the States is like ‘coming home.’ I know it sounds weird for a Finnish band to say that but we are often described as the ‘most American band’ in Finland. [laughs] You see all of our influences, mostly musical and visual, come from the States, so… we’re keeping our fingers crossed."
