The press release we just posted for Suidakra - sorry it took a little bit of time to post (sue-eee-dah-kruh, but the sue - eee is said fast, like you would say sweee almost, but with a u):
Finally! SuidAkrA's first US show has just been confirmed: we'll rock the house at Chicago Powerfest in May 2008!! Being that we have to travel half way across the world for this show, we will also try to schedule a mini-tour with maybe four or five more gigs in one part of the US. Chicago Powerfest will be the only show in the Midwest, though.
However, we still need your support for this adventure! More precisely, let's face it: we need help with financing this trip! Be assured that we would not use it to fill our pockets up, but more to the contrary - we are paying for this trip out of our own pocket and need to make sure that the expenses for traveling will not ruin us. If you have an idea to help sponsor SuidAkrA, please contact Alina Michelle by sending her a message via her mySpace page.
If there are any promoters in the US that are wanting and have the means to bring SuidAkrA to their area in the week following Powerfest, please also contact Alina. We get a lot of emails asking us to play every little town in the US, which is a very nice thing of course, but it is hard to do such things without the support of a promoter. Also, instead of sending emails and messages to us like this, please use the "demand it" tool on our myspace page so we can see the areas that have the most interest in SuidAkrA. Please also understand that we can only reply to serious offers.
Let us briefly introduce to you Tim Siebrecht as our new live guitar player! As a former member of the band "Sleeping Gods", he has a lot of experience already. He has been familiar with SuidAkrA for many years, including his own contribution of some clean vocal lines on "Emprise to Avalon" in 2001.
More info will follow soon.
Horns up!
