QUO VADIS To Perform At WNYU Studios
June 11, 2009Canadian progressive tech-death metallers QUO VADIS will perform an exclusive live set at the WNYU studios in New York City on Sunday, June 14. Host Dylan DiLella will then air the recording the following Friday on "Hellhole", a long-running metal radio show that first went on the air in 1984.
After beating attendance records in Moncton last Friday, QUO VADIS is heading out on its highly anticipated first set of U.S. shows since the band's inception. The group states, "We are very excited to finally cross the border and play for our neighbors down South.
"The first run of shows will take place in the Northeastern U.S., and we will be playing with freshly-signed REVOCATION, talented newcomers DARK FAITH and other guests."
QUO VADIS recently released a 10-minute videoblog (see below) to showcase their latest headlining European tour, the places they visited and their very dedicated fans. The footage includes live and backstage shots from Turkey, Romania, Croatia and France as well as some funny moments along the road.
QUO VADIS' current lineup includes the band's latest additions — bassist Roxanne Constantin (NEGATIVA, ROSTRUM, AVEN AURA),vocalist Trevor Birnie (DAMASCUS, ANNEX THEORY) and drummer Patrice Hamelin (MARTYR).
Roxanne has a B.A. in piano performance from the Montreal Conservatory of Music. Prior to taking the bassist position, she contributed keyboards and vocals to the band as well as help with choirs and different live shows. In the months leading up to the shows, Roxanne underwent a strenuous practice regimen of up to 10 hours a day dedicated to music.
"She is one of the best musicians QUO VADIS has ever had the opportunity to work with. Roxanne has also been strongly involved supporting the band since 2002 so it was a natural fit," QUO VADIS guitarist Bart Frydryhowicz previously said.
QUO VADIS last year posted a new track entitled "Equilibrium" on its MySpace page. According to the band, the song is "still a work in progress but we thought it sounded nice enough to give everybody a sneak peek."
