PRETTY MAIDS to celebrate their 30th Anniversary
with the release of « It Comes Alive » -
the band’s first ever audio-visual release !

Press release from Frontiers Records:

Frontiers Records is pleased to celebrate PRETTY MAIDS’ Thirtieth Anniversary
with the release of the band’s first ever live 2CD/DVD package entitled
“It Comes Alive (Maid in Switzerland)” on March 23rd in Europe and March 27th
in North America.

Following the highly acclaimed 2010 album “Pandemonium”, Danish melodic
hard rockers, Pretty Maids have been touring more or less constantly throughout
2010/2011. They undertook a full scale European tour in 2010 and have since
played several festivals and occasional gigs. The overwhelming response to the
new songs and the ongoing requests coming from the fans prompted the band
to take their chance and record a live 2CD/DVD last October 1st 2011.
Pretty Maids gathered in Pratteln, Switzerland with an enthusiastic and
highly explosive crowd of die hard fans and followers to fulfill the demand,
for an energetic and memorable performance which was recorded with a fully
equipped mobile studio and cameras.

“Riding on the success of our previous studio album Pandemonium and with
maybe the strongest line up ever, we thought that we’d make some kind of
a live document of what this band is all about in the present time” tells singer
Ronnie Atkins. “It Comes Alive is purely and simply a tribute to all our fans
and supporters throughout the world, who gave us so many memorable
moments, so much pleasure and making our childhood dreams come through”.

“The band’s spirit during the last couple of years has been better than in a
long long time” says Atkins. And “It Comes Alive (Maid in Switzerland)” shows
the band at the top of their game, performing songs from a 30 year long career.

“It’s always difficult to make a set list that satisfies everyone” continues
the singer, “It’s a combination of what the crowd expect us to play and what
we like to play ourselves ! But of course there are songs like Futureworld and
Red hot and heavy that we have been playing for the last 25 years so, they
still get a new life every time we play ‘em and still seem to please our
audience. But basically what you will find on this Live album are the songs
that we toured with on the Pandemonium tour, with a few exceptions”.

“It Comes Alive (Maid in Switzerland)” will be exclusively released in a lavish
2cd/dvd digipak released and will include the following tracks:

CD1: Pandemonium; I.N.V.U; Hell on high heels; Wake up to the real world;
Destination paradise; Another shot of your love; Scream; Walk away;

Pretty Maids would like to announce Rene Shades as the new temporary bass
player, replacing recently departed Hal Patino.

Shades has been a long time friend of the band, and did actually play
a couple of gigs with us back in 2004 as a second guitarist.

Through the years, Shades has played in various bands, Mike Tramp
amongst others. To begin with, Shades has agreed to step in for
the summer festival tour and will make his debut with the band
in Tivoli ( Copenhagen ) on April 22.

We’re all happy to welcome Shades onboard and we hope that all
our fans, friends and supporters will give him a warm welcome.

SEE YOU ALL OUT THERE !!!

- PRETTY MAIDS

Pretty Maids has split with bass player Hal Patino due to collaboration
difficulties, this was apparently the best sollution for both parties.

We are currently rehearsing with a (at the moment) temporary new
bass player, who will be announced pretty soon.

This sudden situation will have no effect on the upcomin shows.
No concerts wil be cancelled!!
If fans and supporters out there are confused about all this (and we can't
blame you), we can assure you all, that the band spirit is as strong as ever.
In other words, we'll be out there to KICK SOME SERIOUS ASS!!

However, we would like to thank Hal Patino for his contributions to the band
during the Pandemonium tour, and we wish him all the best in the future.

But there are some good news as well!

Pretty maids have just come to agreement with Frontiers Records for a new
studio album + a live DVD set for release in 2011/2012.
