ANVIL: New Video Interview Available; More Tour Details Released

October 6, 2009

Canadian metal legends ANVIL are set to launch their first major tour in more than a decade — "The Anvil Experience" — a full-on, 30-date North American trek in support of both the September 15 release of their most recent CD, "This is Thirteen" (VH1 Classic Records),and the October 6 DVD release of "Anvil! The Story of Anvil" (VH1 Films). The tour kicks off in earnest on January 7, 2010 in the city of rock 'n' roll, Cleveland, Ohio, will include dates in New York and Los Angeles, and will culminate in Vancouver on February 13.

But this will not be any ordinary concert tour, as audience members will be treated to a screening of "Anvil! The Story of Anvil", before the group — singer/guitarist Steve "Lips" Kudlow, drummer Robb Reiner, and bassist Glenn Five — will take the stage for a set of heavy ANVIL classics.

And if that's not enough metal for you, well, the lads are prepared. For the serious metalhead, a limited number of 50 "VIP Anvil Experience" packages will be made available for each show, which includes a ticket to the concert, a copy of the "This Is Thirteen" CD, a copy of the "Anvil! The Story of Anvil" DVD, a fanny pack (a constant fashion companion of Reiner's as seen in the film),and a meet-and-greet with the band. Pre-sale tickets go on sale Tuesday, October 6, with the regular on-sale starting Friday, October 9.

A new video interview with Kudlow and Reiner conducted by Billboard.com can be viewed below.
