RAUNCHY Pulled Off U.K.'s BLOODSTOCK OPEN AIR Festival

July 10, 2006

Danish modern metallers RAUNCHY are no longer part of the billing for this year's Bloodstock Open Air festival, set to take place July 14-15 at Catton Hall in Derbyshire, England. "This is beyond our control and we have nothing to do with this last-minute cancellation," the band write on their web site. A brief statement from the festival's organizers blames the move on "organizational issues." Up-and-coming U.K. band NINETEENTH CENTURY have taken RAUNCHY's spot on the bill.

RAUNCHY will be teaming up with HATESPHEREVOLBEAT for the Danish Dynamite Tour beginning mid-November. This trek will mark the first-ever European tour for RAUNCHY and VOLBEAT.

RAUNCHY recently released their third full-length album, "Death Pop Romance", through Lifeforce Records. The CD was recorded last summer by Jacob Hansen (MERCENARY, FEAR MY THOUGHTS, COMMUNIC) at Hansen studio in Robe, Denmark and was mixed by Tue Madsen at Antfarm Studios (HATESPHERE, THE HAUNTED, MNEMIC) in Aarhus, Denmark. The album marks the recording debut with the group of new singer Kasper Thomsen, who replaced Lars Vognstrup in 2004. An e-card, featuring selections from "Death Pop Romance", can be accessed at this location. A full-length MP3 of the track "Remembrance" can be downloaded here (5 MB).

RAUNCHY split with Nuclear Blast Records in January 2005 after releasing two albums through the label (2002's "Velvet Noise" and 2004's "Confusion Bay").
