LORDI is making an appearance in London on the 12th of June. Head down to HMV Oxford Street for around 1.30pm for a chance to meet the monsters! I know I will... by a fortunate coincidence that's a day I have booked off, as I was going to make a special journey to Charles Fox in Covent Garden. Now it looks like a detour is in order.
Lordi members can also be caught online - there is an international forum that lists gigs, events, releases and other related mishmash. The band members occasionally post there, so if you're a wannabe Lordi-groupie (or should it be Lordi's bitch?), then maybe you should register. Be warned, the average age seems to be quite low; several off-topic discussions circle around grades, bullying and school in general. Still, there seems to be a good vibe about the place and hey, I'm sure Lordi's monster-members would agree: hard rock knows no age barriers. Heheee.
In other news, there are rumours that Lordi will join forces with KISS (the latter being responsible for much of the Finnish band's original influence and inspiration) in a New York showcase, designed to promote the group to an American audience.
Lordi are nonsense but I`d love to see them in the "flesh". They`re actually playing Manchester soon...

Nonsense, maybe, but there just isn't enough adorable nonsense in the world! Lordi is a lovely addition; by being monstrously cheesy they're actually amazingly loveable. And I guess you have to have some kind of 80s rock sensibility to actually like their music. Which I have. Which is nice.

Hmmm. I need to give them a listen. I really enjoy Blind Guardian, Dragonforce, Hammerfall, Galloglass... bands like that.
