March 28, 2011, 13 years ago
Brazilian metal band SHADOWSIDE have issued the following statement regarding IRON MAIDEN's reschduled show in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on March 28th following the unfortunate cancellation of the March 27th gig when a stage barricade collapsed (details here).
"Despite several websites confirming that Shadowside would play again tonight (March 28th), the promoter company Mondo Entretenimento, trying to solve all problems and organize the new concert, could not tell for sure if there would be technical conditions to keep the Brazilians on the event, thus deciding to keep only Maiden on the rescheduled show.
Dani Nolden (lead singer), Raphael Mattos (guitars), Ricardo Piccoli (bass) and Fabio Buitvidas (drums) would like to thank everyone around Iron Maiden, Mondo Entretenimento and HSBC Arena for the opportunity, attention and cordiality, as well as the crowd for such a warm reception. All Shadowside members wish Iron Maiden and the fans a great gig tonight.
On the occasion, Shadowside performed for the first time three new songs that will be on their upcoming album Inner Monster Out, to be released on June 7 on SHP/Universal Music worldwide. 'I'm Your Mind', 'Disrupted Reality' and 'Gag Order', the last one already been played during their latest European tour as W.A.S.P.'s special guests, had excellent acceptance during their performance in Rio."
