DORO - Two North American Tours, 30th Anniversary And A Movie!





On January 18th, during a live, on-air interview with WJCU's Bill
Peters, host of the Metal On Metal radio program for the last thirty
year, German metal maiden DORO PESCH discussed her career in music and
dropped a few enticing hints about the upcoming year. Despite being
after midnight, her time, and just two hours after landing in her
hometown of Dusseldorf, after a flight from Switzerland, where she was
finishing up a movie, Ms. Pesch was her usual cheery self, joking and
laughing with a longtime industry pal. In terms of the upcoming tour,
set to kick off next week with her appearance on the 70000 Tons Of Metal
cruise, then continuing throughout mainland North America, DORO
promised a mix of the new Raise Your Fist album, band classics and "some
WARLOCK songs we've never played." The band apparently has 60 songs at
the ready. "OK, maybe we don't know all the B-sides," she acquiesced. No
two performances will be identical, the singer altering the setlist on
the fly, as she "reads" the crowd (do they want old stuff, do they want
newer stuff) as well as responding to audience requests!






Following these dates, the band will return home, to plan for the
European festival season, which will be capped with a 30th anniversary
show at Wacken, that should see scores of guests onstage, as well as
pyro to rival RAMMSTEIN. As previously announced, there will also be a
multi-hour anniversary gig in Dusseldolf and another planned for New
York ("My second home," according to the Metal Queen). She also hinted
that some European countries will also have a local one-off exclusive
concert to help her celebrate this milestone year. However, before that
takes place, there's a second US jaunt, planned for Sept-Oct and the
possibility of a video for the duet with Lemmy, 'It Still Hurt', which
appears on her latest album.



Lastly, there's the just wrapped sequel to 2006's Swiss-produced
film: Anuk-The Way of the Warrior (which also starred KROKUS singer Marc
Storace). Now that her in-front of the camera bits are done, DORO plans
to write some music for the soundtrack, much as she did for the
original installment. Busy lady!
