LORDI Named First Runner-Up For EUROVISION's 'Best Dressed Act' Award

January 5, 2007

Finnish masked monsters LORDI were named the first runner-up in ESCToday.com's Best Dressed Act of the 2006 Eurovision Song Contest awards. LORDI collected 26 percent of the Best Dressed vote; ironically LORDI was also the first runner-up for the Barbara Dex Award — a long-standing, yearly fan award for the worst costume at the contest.

Since winning the 2006 Eurovision Song Contest in May, LORDI's dream has grown to gargantuan heights. Besides conquering numerous European charts the band has been given their own credit card though Finland's Sampo Bank, as well as their own softdrink (Lordi Cola),LORDI candy, LORDI kebab, and comic book.

As previously reported, LORDI has signed a North American deal with The End Records. "The Arockalypse" will be released in North America on March 20, 2007, with bonus tracks and a DVD.

LORDI is currently planning its first-ever jaunt of North America this spring and is confirmed for a two-night stint at the annual Bamboozle festival, set for May 5 and 6 in East Rutherford, N.J.
