CRASHDIET To Perform Entire Debut Album At Tonight's REST IN SLEAZE Festival
February 6, 2010Swedish glam-rock band CRASHDIET will perform its debut album, "Rest in Sleaze", in its entirety at this year's edition of the Rest In Sleaze festival, which will take place tonight (Saturday, February 6) at Fryshuset in Stockholm, Sweden.
Rest In Sleaze was launched in 2007 as a tribute to former CRASHDIET singer David Hellman (a.k.a. Dave Lepard),who committed suicide in January 2006.
Hellman was found dead on January 20, 2006 at his apartment in the Swedish city of Uppsala, north of Stockholm. It was reported in several places that he hanged himself, although this was never officially confirmed.
"Rest in Sleaze" entered the Swedish national album chart at position No. 12 back in 2005.
