The Flower Kings has returned to service this year with a brand new *raved about* studioalbum „Banks of Eden” – Loved and praised by press and fans alike, “Banks Of Eden” entered the German album charts on # 68, Dutch album charts on # 64 and the Swedish Album charts on #27. This Fall THE FLOWER KINGS will grace Europe with a 30 dates tour to celebrate the new album and the legacy of the band’s 18 year history.
Band lineup is (longtime members):
Tomas Bodin – Keyboards
Jonas Reingold – Bass & Vocal
Hasse Froberg – Vocal & Guitar
Roine Stolt – Guitar & Vocal
and newcomer German prodigy Felix Lehrmann – Drums.
These re-union shows promise to be colorful events with a stage set in the post-psychedelia Tim Burton surrealism realm – aided with projections by longtime collaborator Per Nordin. The setlist will revolve around the new album, but will surely revisit old fan favourites with a new pounding vital energy that the 27 year old drummer can infuse.
„We’re not too old to prog – we’re just too stupid to know when to stop – and that’s a good thing, because we’ve never sounded better, never sounded as heavy and energetic – never felt so orange in our twisted souls – never had so much wattage to blast those poor prog anoraks – we’re thrilled to go out with a bang this time we’ve grown our beards – we’re mean & lean and we take no prisoners”. (ROINE STOLT)
We urge all who visit one of these concerts to dress in orange.
