MARTY FRIEDMAN To Perform With TOKYO PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA

November 12, 2010

Former MEGADETH guitarist Marty Friedman will perform with the Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra on November 25. The performance will be broadcast in early 2011 on TV Asahi's "Daimei no nai Ongakukai".

This is the third time Marty has appeared with the Philharmonic as a soloist; the first time he performed his own material, the second time he played the Bach Brandenburg Concerto and this time he will perform the Rachmaninoff Concerto #2 Opus 18.

This event is not to be missed for fans of Marty's playing, and the exact Japanese and satellite broadcast information will be revealed soon.

As a very special bonus, 20 fans will be selected (at random) to attend the live performance.

Friedman recently completed filming for the upcoming Japanese movie "Maebashi Visual Kei". Due in Japan in early 2011, the film was directed by Otsuru Gitan and is described as "a dramatic and moving look inside the trials and tribulations of a fictitious Visual Kei band in Japan."

In 2008, Marty had a role in the Japanese hit "Gugudatte Neko Dearu" and a cameo in "Detroit Metal City" as the guitarist in Gene Simmons' band.

Friedman recently created and is now heading up the brand new record label, Gokukara Records. The label is a subsidiary of Japan's major label giant Avex. Friedman's solo releases will continue with Avex, and new artists that he works with will come out on Gokukara.
