The End Records - "Seeing LORDI Live Will Make The Biggest Difference"
February 26, 2007, 17 years ago
The End Records founder Andreas Katsambas, whose label is releasing LORDI's The Arockalypse on March 20th Stateside for the first time with bonus tracks and a DVD, says he became interested in working with Lordi four years ago.
Seeing the band perform live after Eurovision convinced him to move on the idea.
"Every song (on The Arockalypse) stands out, but watching them live really sold the band to me, and it was just amazing," he says. "I think bringing them over to the U.S. and having the U.S. crowd see them live will make thebiggest difference."
To support the album, Lordi will commence its first North American tour in late April, playing approximately 12 markets in venues with 700-1,500 seats. Lordi will cap the tour by playing the Bamboozle Festival (May 5-6) in East Rutherford, N.J., alongside MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE and LINKIN PARK.
