September 18, 2009, 15 years ago
Canuck thrash legends ANVIL, who were due to hold an in store performance and signing at Sunrise Records on 336 Yonge Street in Toronto, Ontario on September 22nd, have pushed the session to September 24th. According to the promoter it had to be rescheduled due to a "family emergency."
The in-store will still take place at 6:00pm as originally scheduled. Click here for details.
Updates will be provided as we get them.
Anvil, whose rock-doc Anvil! The Story Of Anvil has certainly been the most feel-good, comeback stories of recent times, will make its late-night performance debut on The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien on Tuesday, October 6th.
The Tonight Show performance is in support of the release of the band's new album, This Is Thirteen, which hits stores on Tuesday, September 15th, and the Anvil! The Story Of Anvil DVD, set for an October 6th release date.
For this auspicious occasion, Anvil - guitarist/vocalist Steve "Lips" Kudlow, drummer Robb Reiner, and bassist Glenn Five - will perform the song that many consider their anthem, 'Metal On Metal', which is included as a bonus track on the This is Thirteen limited edition vinyl. The band members will also get a little couch time with O'Brien.
"I am so nervous about doing the show," said Lips. "This is big, the biggest thing we have ever done on TV. I almost cried when my mom said she might not be able to stay up that late to watch it, so we're going to tape it for her. We can't wait to meet Conan, and I think Robb is pretty excited to meet Max Weinberg."VH1 Classic Records, who is releasing This is Thirteen, has just posted an exclusive premiere of the album on The Leak, which can be accessed here. Those who log on between now and September 16th will be able to stream the album in its entirety.
