GODSMACK: Sturgis Motorcycle Rally Performance To Be Filmed For Upcoming DVD

July 5, 2007

GODSMACK has been confirmed as one of the headliners of the 2007 Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, set to take place August 6-12 in Sturgis, South Dakota. GODSMACK's performance, which is scheduled for August 7 in the Glencoe Camp Ground, will be filmed using a 19-camera crew for an upcoming DVD.

A three-minute audio interview with GODSMACK drummer Shannon Larkin, conducted last month by Anne Carlini of Detroit's WRIF 101.1 FM, has been posted online at this location (Windows Media).

GODSMACK will release a 10th anniversary box set later this year. The Boston band — currently on a theater run continuing to promote its 2006 release "IV" — plans to commemorate the 10-year celebration of their first album with a package that gathers together its four studio albums, the acoustic EP "The Other Side" and a DVD featuring mini-documentaries about the making of each album. There will also be some live footage and possibly the group's 2004 acoustic performance in Las Vegas.

"We're just gonna try to make it really special," Larkin recently told Billboard.com. "Basically Universal, who we've been with since day one, said to us, 'You tell us what you need and we'll write the check. We want this to be special, too.' We wanted to make it a road case, but as we were doing some research we saw that METALLICA made one of their box sets look like a road case, so that's out. If anyone has any suggestions, we're open..."
