posted Jan 12, 2009 at 12:24 PM by deathbringer.  (8 Comments)

Following two very successful runs in 2007 and 2008, classical harp duo Harptallica will be hitting the road again this month to further lull their extremely varied fanbase into sweet metal submission.

Here are the latest tour dates:

1/28 (WED) AUSTIN, TX @ HEADHUNTERS
1/29 (THU) TULSA, OK @ MCNELLIE'S SIDEBAR
1/30 (FRI) KANSAS CITY, MO @ THE BRICK
1/31 (SAT) LINCOLN, NE @ BOX AWESOME
2/1 (SUN) ST. LOUIS, MO @ VINTAGE VINYL (IN-STORE)
2/1 (SUN) ST. LOUIS, MO @ CICERO'S
2/2 (MON) CHICAGO, IL @ METAL SHAKER
2/3 (TUE) SOUTH BEND, IN @ THE ANCHOR INN
2/4 (WED) CLEVELAND, OH @ PEABODY'S
2/5 (THU) MONACA, PA @ BEAVER COMMUNITY COLLEGE
2/5 (THU) BLUEFIELD, WV @ THE ROCK-IT CLUB
2/6 (FRI) RALEIGH, NC @ VOLUME 11 TAVERN
2/7 (SAT) COLUMBIA, SC @ NEW BROOKLAND TAVERN
2/8 (SUN) ATLANTA, GA @ SMITH'S OLDE BAR
2/9 (MON) BIRMINGHAM, AL @ WORKPLAY
2/10 (TUE) NEW ORLEANS, LA @ CIRCLE BAR

Ashley Toman and Mollie Marcuson (replacing original harpist Patricia Kline) will be showcasing arrangements of Metallica songs from their album "Harptallica - A Tribute" as well as previews from a followup release due out in the Fall.

Harptallica has had performances featured on WGN-TV and various FOX network stations across the country, and have hailed as both the "pacifiers of hardened rock enthusiasts" and the "harbingers of metal to the classical community."

In bringing their harps on the road, Harptallica hopes both to introduce audiences to new and original combinations of musical styles and to of course give tribute to a band they were individually introduced to as a 'musical giant': Metallica.

Apocalyptica is a LOT better. And cellos are more metal than harps.

Agreed with all three of ya. I don't like Metallica that much, but jees, why cover their songs with harps?? Weird, yet inventive.
