PRETTY MAIDS Preparing To Record New Album

May 26, 2009

Danish hard rock veterans PRETTY MAIDS have issued the following update:

"PRETTY MAIDS are currently negotiating new recording deals for Europe and Asia. The band intend to start recording new material in the autumn and a new album is set for release early spring 2010. We will continue to update you on the process as soon as there's anything new.

"On Friday, May 29, PRETTY MAIDS will make their first appearance in a string of summer dates on the Jelling Festival (Denmark). The keyboards for these dates will be handled by John Brandt who is standing in for Morten Sandager, who can not take part in the summer gigs for various reasons. However, Morten Sandager will return to the fold later this year."

PRETTY MAIDS' "comeback" album, entitled "Wake Up To The Real World", was released in November 2006 via Frontiers Records. Singer Ronnie Atkins stated about the CD, "The new record has all the trademarks a good PRETTY MAIDS album should have, and that's the overall combination of good melodies and strong guitar riffs. But the key word, as far as I'm concerned, is it's gotta be melodic: whether it's the heavier and faster tracks or the more ballad/AOR-oriented kind of stuff; in other words 'good songs', and I think the album has got that!"

PRETTY MAIDS is a legendary hard rock/heavy metal combo from Denmark founded in early 1982 by Atkins and guitarist Ken Hammer.

After 10 studio albums, two EPs, one "best of" collection and two live albums, the band in 2002 celebrated its 20th anniversary with the release of the album "Planet Panic", followed by a successful European tour. But at the end of the same year they decided to take a long break from recording and touring.
