Hailed for their “fist-pumping stadium metal” by Brave Words & Bloody Knuckles and
revered as one of thee most entertaining live acts in the metal underground
(complete with scissor-kicks and other on-stage antics), the trademarked unbreakable
spirit of Germany’s EDGUY will be coming back to North America with three headlining
shows beginning October 10th and eleven shows through October 27th in support of
Kamelot.

EDGUY’s dynamic frontman Tobias Sammet checks in from home about the upcoming trek:

“Why should Hollywood fear us walking its unholy streets? You gotta ask Hollywood
itself and it will tell you! Or better: What’s left of Hollywood after we’ve
played…

For the EDGUY tour with Kamelot, we’ll mainly focus on older material as the new
album [Tinnitus Sanctus] is not gonna be released at that point. People wanna come
out, have fun, and sing along, so we’ll focus on our classic material. Did we
choose the set list via democracy or dictatorship? It’s kind of both plus the
principle of contingency: Every band member writes down his own list of songs he
wants to play, we put ‘em into a voting box, and then I draw until I got the list
I’ve written. Seriously, it’s no big deal. Sometimes we sit backstage an hour
before the show and throw song titles back and forth to keep it exciting to
ourselves. We don’t wanna impress people with complicated or extremely fast stuff…
that’s childish. We just wanna make ‘em have a good time, so the songs should have
maximum impact.

There are no on-stage collaborations with Kamelot planned so far. I think both
bands do extraordinarily well without the other. Can you imagine having a
maladjusted peacock like me going on with Kamelot, telling jokes and doing the
splits while Roy tries to enchant the audience? Ladies and gentlemen, Kamelot vs.
EDGUY is the new Clash of the Titans: Symphony versus Giant Crotches – ha, ha.

Clothes are must-haves on my shopping list! I love weird clothes. Hippie shit,
stuff that you don’t find at your local H&M. There are some stores in Hollywood
where I’ll enter the door being sure that I’ll just look around and walk out having
spent twice the advance payment of our next record. And by the way, we are very
brave with our new material. It’s a very serious kick-ass statement and is
certainly gonna be one of our most important steps into the future. “
