UNISONIC Taps EDGUY's TOBIAS 'EGGI' EXEL For Brazil's MONSTERS OF ROCK Festival

April 21, 2015

Tobias "Eggi" Exel (pictured),bass player of the German metal band EDGUY, will replace guitarist Mandy Meyer during UNISONIC's performance at the Monsters Of Rock festival in Sao Paulo, Brazil on April 26. Meyer is unable to make the gig because he will be taking part in a U.S. tour with Swiss rockers KROKUS.

Says UNISONIC drummer and manager Kosta Zafiriou: "Eggi is not only a great guy, he's also an excellent guitar player. We were not aware of this fact until he joined our soundcheck several times during the collective tour of UNISONIC and EDGUY in Japan and Europe 2014. The first day he jammed with us, the second he had perfectly performed two of our songs with us."

He continues: "If a band consists of members with such wide activities as UNISONIC does, of course we'll run into scheduling problems sooner or later. We know this and we've already had to decline interesting offers in the past. But receiving an offer to play the Monsters Of Rock festival in Sao Paulo in front of 50,000 crazy Brazilian fans, sharing the stage with bands like OZZY OSBOURNE, JUDAS PRIEST and KISS, is something you can't turn down as a musician.

"When we were considering who could replace Mandy for this show, Eggi's name came up instantly. We're happy to fill this gap with a friend!"

UNISONIC features former HELLOWEEN vocalist Michael Kiske and guitarist/vocalist Kai Hansen alongside Meyer, bassist Dennis Ward and Zafiriou (both of Germany's PINK CREAM 69)

UNISONIC's second album, "Light Of Dawn", was released in August 2014 via earMUSIC.
