“Muhahah. Remember Backstreet Boys? Well, we do and we brought one of the boys with us to DK to perform New Tomorrow on this Saturday! Can a rockband do duet with a world-famous boyband singer? – YES THEY CAN, and we LOVE it ” -AFIL

On Saturday, just before the winner of this year’s Dansk Melodi Grand Prix is announced, A Friend in London will be performing ‘New Tomorrow‘ and…

…Howie D of Backstreet Boys will be joining them on stage!

“In A Friend In London we like to break with the norms for what a rockband do. Howie D. is a part of one of the world’s largest pop phenomenon, and that I as a little singer from Stevns will be singing with someone from Backstreet Boys, that is absolutely crazy and we love it“, Tim Schou of AFIL says to DR (Danish Broadcasting Corporation).

Tim also adds that he hopes this special version of ‘New Tomorrow’ will appear on their debut album, expected to release this spring.

The 2012 Dansk Melodi Grand Prix is this Saturday, Jan 21st 2012, at the Gigantium in Aalborg. Eurovision fans can watch the live webcast of this show on DR1, or on its official website.

Echelons Above Entertainment / urArtist network are pleased to introduce new management clients…

Big James Arsenian, Chris Arsenian, Pepe Poliquin, Blair Youngblut, Ryan Miller

ENDAST, translated from Icelandic to mean enduring, has become more than just a name for the Montreal based metal band, but rather an apt description of what they have come to embody.

“We’re a metal band, straight up. We play metal. End of story.” – Chris Arsenian

Beyond the Icelandic translation, ENDAST has more accurately become a name synonymous with good people with a strong sense of community bringing good, heavy music to people in as many places as possible.

“ENDAST is a band that truly loves their fans. The hours spent writing, the relentless touring and hard work these guys put in is unbelievable. ENDAST will dominate 2011!” – Andy Hawke

“ENDAST is a great metal band, their lists of accomplishments show how hard the band is willing to work to get to the next level of their career and we look forward to helping them get there.” – Anthony Positano

With the strength and the spirit of the underground, ENDAST will continue to deliver True Canadian Metal with all the passion they have been known for.
