Finland’s monster rock n’ roll band LORDI begin their "monster invasion" of North America this weekend with a two-night stint at The Bamboozle festival in New Jersey.
About the shows and what fans can expect, frontman Mr. Lordi comments, "We've had to shorten our set because unlike a headlining show back home, festival shows are a bit different. We'll have a different set list and because The Arockalypse is the only album known here for the most part, we will be playing a good chunk of songs from there. It'll be different for us - the songs and the set-up - but we're ready for North America. We're ready to rock Bamboozle!"
"We don't know what to expect from these two shows but they will definitely be an indication to us of how we are being received here in North America that's for sure," he adds, "A lot of our fans are travelling from far away to see us I've read on our website and that is exciting. It will be great to see them at Bamboozle."The band has been in New York City for the past week doing press for the recently released album The Arockalypse on The End Records. The album was released as a special 2 CD/DVD with bonus tracks/videos.
"It has been great to be in New York City doing press for a few days and getting ready for Bamboozle. New York is much different than it was when I was last here in 1997. We're all enjoying it."In other Lordi news, the band will also take part in the much-anticipated annual OZZFest 2007 tour across North America this summer. They have been selected as one of the mainstage acts, alongside mainstage headliners OZZY OSBOURNE and LAMB OF GOD.
