LORDI Frontman: "OZZFest Has Been Absolutely Amazing For Us"
August 8, 2007, 17 years ago
Finland’s LORDI, currently on tour as part of OZZFest 2007 (with headliners OZZY OSBOURNE, LAMB OF GOD and STATIC-X), have issued another update about their time on the road in North America.
Says frontman Mr. Lordi, "OZZFest has been absolutely amazing for us, even though the shows have been a "little" sweaty. We’ve gotten so much encouragement from Ozzy's band and the Lamb Of God guys, not to mention from the fans that we’ve been able to meet at the signing sessions, that we ALMOST forget the fact that we’re literally melting during each set. At first we were a bit worried about the fact that we are musically the lightest band on the bill, and that we are basically a pretty unknown band here in the United States, but the fan's reactions have been so overwhelming and so gratifying. There have been quite a lot of people who told us that they came a looooong way to see us at OZZFest and we couldn’t be more honored."
In other Lordi news, the band have scheduled an in-store autograph appearance at New Jersey's legendary independent record store Vintage Vinyl on Wednesday, August 15th, 2007 at 7 PM.
Vintage Vinyl - 51 Lafayette Rd. - Fords, NJ 08863 (http://www.vinvyl.com).
There will be no live performance at this event.
Lordi plays the following day, Thursday August 16th, 2007, at the PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel, New Jersey
as part of OZZFest 2007. OZZFest continues through the end of August.
