EDGUY Would Be 'Very Pleased' To Do A Full U.S. Tour

April 21, 2004

EDGUY guitarist Jens Ludwig recently spoke to Ytsejam.com about the group's latest CD, "Hellfire Club", and their upcoming activities. Asked if there is a possibility of the band touring the U.S. in the near future, Ludwig said, "Yeah well, at the moment Prog Power 5 is the only 100% confirmed gig. But I just heard two days ago from a booking agency that they found a promoter in the States that maybe would do a full tour through the U.S., and if this were too happen, of course we would be very pleased, because it would be a new experience, and it's always great to perform for people that, maybe don't know your band, and you have to convince them, about your music. With power metal, it always seems to come out to be a lot more powerful live."

With regards to what band he would like to do a U.S. tour with, Jens said, "Anybody we like, I don't care (laughs). As long as they are nice people, and the music fits a little together, for example we would love to tour with KREATOR or GAMMA RAY, I don't know... I don't care, as long as we can perform our stuff, it doesn't matter which band it is. Even if we open for a bigger band, its a challenge, cause then we have to convince everyone out there, and we have to kinda push them, but then again, that's what drives us."

EDGUY's latest CD, "Hellfire Club" (Nuclear Blast),has sold 1,124 copies in the U.S. in its first two weeks of release, according to Nielsen SoundScan. The group's previous album, 2001's "Mandrake" (The End),has shifted 579 units so far.
