Promoting the Paradise Lost gig in Gozo wasn't as hard as we thought

First things first, I can’t give a big enough thanks to all the people who showed up to last week’s show in Gozo—being the second time playing there I guess all I have to say is “when’s the next one gonna be?”. It’s good to know that there’s always somewhere or someone that would make our gig a great night!

Now to this week, as many of you know, Paradise Lost will be in Malta this Saturday at the Club Renaissance in Luqa and on behalf of my band mates, I can confirm that we are all excited to be supporting such an influential band. If there’s one thing we’ve always been passionate about as a band, it’s performing live. So expect a good one!

In 6 days we’re having our second gig ever in Gozo. When we played there last November I didn’t have any high expectations whatsoever. I mean, the scene on main land is quite limited, so how good could it be in Gozo?! Well, I was wrong ’cause here we are just days away from our second show there in less than 5 months. I have to confess that before moving to Malta, I didn’t even know there was a metal scene at all, but nearly 6 years later I’m glad to be part of it.

Anyhow, we were happy with the turnout of the gig and especially with the warm reception we were offered before and throughout the gig. This time Gozitans Inner Grey are joining us, so thanks to the guys for accepting and check out their myspace if you haven’t yet.

So I’m looking at Gozo from a more positive point of view than the previous gig and I have a feeling that it’s gonna be even better (and hopefully we’ll get even more drunk) than last time. Also looking forward to meet the guys from Inner Grey!

over and out!

Gig in Gozo with ItEM – 14th November

In exactly 10 days we will be playing a show in Gozo, at Oli’s Wine Bar in Xewkija to be exact. We’re looking forward to this event, not only ’cause it’s a first for us in Gozo but but ’cause for the second time in 5 months we will be sharing the stage with ItEM. Last July’s gig with the guys could easily be described as one of our best this year and those who were present… know we’re not lying. We should be attending Loathe’s gig at Rookie’s the night before our gig, after that, hang around at a bar where James will be playing, and head to the ferry in some early hours on Saturday morning together with our mates from ItEM. Sounds like a good warm up for the gig. Check out flyer below and if you happen to be in Gozo make sure you don’t miss this.

Medusa Tour

Exactly a week after Gozo’s gig we will start our tour, visiting 5 countries in all. Following our debut album release last May, which has been positively reviewed a couple of times, we decided that a tour is best to promote our album, hence the name Medusa Tour 2009.

The tour dates can be found in the poster below.

Of course without the help of friends and other people this tour wouldn’t have been possible and we would like to show our appreciation towards the following: Tomáš from Calidad, Denis from SleighMSN, Sergejs from Melna Piektdiena and Ruta Mik. Thanks to all of you, we will be meeting very soon!

Merchandise

In preparation for the coming shows, we have also been working on a new t-shirt design which should be coming your way very soon!

That’s all we had to say for now, we should be back with something new after the gig in Gozo with hopefully some images from the night.
