OLYMPOS MONS´ NEW BOOKING AGENCY IN FINLAND
Last month we made an agreement with King & Rose productions/management. They will for now on be our booking agency in Finland. We have no great expections but hopefully It would help us get some gigs here in our homeland. We're also about to begin rehersing a longer live set, since the last gigs we've made were only about 1h long we're going to need a proper show to take out on the road. But first we're going to play a gig at "Lappvik Rock" festival. A minor event in our bass player's and singers home village. A little spark maybe, to get us going after a major break?

UNCERTAINTY ABOUT WHO IS GOING TO RELEASE THE UPCOMING OLYMPOS MONS ALBUM "MEDIEVIL"...
The negotiations with our former label concerning the new album has taken unexpecting turns. Olympos Mons are not satisfied with how the distribution of the debut album Conquistador was handled. Neither are we satisfyed with any explanations provided since any reasonable answers were not provided in the first place. We have reached a dead end. The album will be released but it is still uncertain by who. "There´s been some interesting offers, but we´re still waiting for as many as possible before we make a decision", says Ian E. Highhill.We also hope that the fans will show patience since the release will be delayed

OLYMPOS MONS GIGS IN DUBLIN AND BELFAST...
Our journey to the beautiful emerald island is over and we´ve arrived safe and sound
at the airport in Helsinki. The gigs went very well, we gave it all, the audience was
also very enthusiastic. So what more could we ask for? We also learned that our debut
album had reached the Irish stores a week before we did ( 2 years after the release,
better late than never I guess...???)
The crew we had was also brilliant and we´d like to thank them one more time: "You
made us feel like stars."
Mats and Eavan : Management
Emily, Lynda : Merchandise
Ross, Paul : Security
Foster : Backline crew
"Bänä" : Camera man, security, roadie, backroom entertainer......
A day was also spared for sightseeing, so we went to pubs, rock clubs, museums,
we also got the opportunity to listen to a great traditional Irish music band, and
we could all agree that Ireland is a very beautiful country, not even the daily rains could
ever take the magic away from it...
