MUSTASCH Interviewed In Helsinki; Video Available

October 25, 2008

Nina Rung from Domination conducted an interview with Swedish hard rockers MUSTASCH prior to the band's October 16, 2008 concert at Tavastia in Helsinki, Finland. Watch the eight-minute chat below.

MUSTASCH recently confirmed the addition of guitarist David Johannesson (ex-SPARZANZA) to the group's ranks.

David was MUSTASCH's stand-in guitar-player during the band's late summer shows and is now with the group full-time.

Commented guitarist/vocalist Ralf Gyllenhammar: "The time between Hannes [Hansson] quitting and David coming in has been chaotic. Finally it feels like we are a band again. David is the right guy and we believe we have done an excellent choice. He also shares our passion for intoxicating liquids."

David Johannesson added: "When Mustasch asked me to join the band I became very happy, but at the same time I was in the studio with my band SPARZANZA to record our next album. In the end the decision was obvious. I quit my day job the very same day I made my decision."

MUSTASCH kicked off a month-long European tour with DIE APOKALYPTISCHEN REITER on October 22 in Prague, Czech Republic.

MUSTASCH was honored in "Best Hard Rock" category at Sweden's "Grammis" gala, which was held on January 9 at Globen in Stockholm. MOTÖRHEAD drummer Mikkey Dee presented the award to MUSTASCH, who beat out such veterans acts as CANDLEMASS, ENTOMBED and CLAWFINGER for the honor.

MUSTASCH released a "best-of" album, entitled "Lowlife Highlight", in February through Regain Records. The CD features 18 songs from the band's back catalogue originally issued by EMI.

MUSTASCH recently inked a new deal with Regain Records for the group's follow-up to "Latest Version of the Truth", scheduled for a 2009 release.
