LORDI frontman: "OZZFEST has been absolutely amazing for us"

By jason

Finland's monster rock n' roll band LORDI, currently on tour as part of OZZFEST 2007 (w/ headliners Ozzy Osbourne,
Lamb of God and Static-X), have issued another update about their time on the road in North America.

Says LORDI frontman, MR. LORDI, "OZZFEST has been absolutely amazing for us, even though the shows have been a "little" sweaty.
We've gotten so much encouragement from Ozzy's band and the Lamb of God guys, not to mention from the fans that
we've been able to meet at the signing sessions, that we ALMOST forget the fact that we're literally melting during each set. At first we
were a bit worried about the fact that we are musically the lightest band on the bill, and that we are basically a pretty unknown
band here in the United States, but the fan's reactions have been so overwhelming and so gratifying. There have
been quite a lot of people who told us that they came a looooong way to see us at OZZFEST and we couldn't be more honored."

In other LORDI news, the band have scheduled an in-store autograph appearance at New Jersey's legendary
independent record store VINTAGE VINYL on Wednesday August 15th, 2007 at 7pm.
