VOIVOD Drummer To Guest On Tonight's 'Conte And Kenny Show'

June 25, 2007

VOIVOD/KOSMOS drummer Michel "Away" Langevin will be interviewed live tonight (Monday, June 25) on the "Conte and Kenny Show" on Cringe Humor Radio.

The program airs Monday nights between 7:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. EST. The Away interview is scheduled for around 7:30 p.m. EST.

You can listen to the show via the Internet at www.CringeHumorRadio.com.

VOIVOD is finalizing plans to re-release their early back catalog. Drummer Michel "Away" Langevin said the band will start with 1986's "Rrröööaaarrr", the following year's "Killing Technology" and '88's "Dimension Hatröss". He said each LP will be remastered and upped with a bonus DVD. "I found some treasures [for the 'Rrröööaaarrr' reissue]; [the fans] are gonna freak," Away said. "My favorite is a tape of avant-garde sounds collage by Piggy [late VOIVOD guitarist Denis 'Piggy' D'Amour] dated from 1980. I'll include it as bonus audio. Another fave is a DVD sent to me by Skulhed. It's the first U.S. show opening for VENOM at the Ritz in New York City. It was filmed in '86 so we have the full VOIVOD gear on with gasmask, smoke machine etc. It will be a nice addition to the bonus Iron Gang DVD coming with 'Rrröööaaarrr'."

The "Rrröööaaarrr" reissue is expected in the fall through Sanctuary Records.

KOSMOS, the Canadian prog/psych quartet which features Michel "Away" Langevin on drums, has had the release date of its self-titled debut album pushed back to September 4 from the previously announced August 21.

KOSMOS is rounded out by guitarist Jetphil (PARADISE),bassist Vincent Peake (GROOVY AARDVARK, GRIM SKUNK) and keyboardist/programmer Alex Crow.

Said Langevin about KOSMOS, "We're a progrock collective from Montreal, Canada and we're influenced by the '70s Krautrock scene and avant-garde music."
