Pretty Maids: It Comes Alive: Maid In Switzerland 2011 (2 CDs + DVD)

Nach der erfolgreichen Veröffentlichung von ‘Pandemonium‘, dem aktuellen Pretty Maids Studioalbum aus 2010, tourte die Band in den letzten zwei Jahren durch Europa und spielte diverse Festivalgigs und Clubshows. Die Reaktion auf das aktuelle Line-up und die neuen Songs war überwältigend, sodass sich die Band dazu entschied einen live Gig auf CD und DVD zu bannen um das 30-jährige Bestehen von Pretty Maids zu feiern.

Product Information

‘It Comes Alive (Maid in Switzerland)‘ wurde am 1.Oktober 2011 in Pratteln (CH) gefilmt. Sänger Ronnie Atkins erklärt: “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. 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 true”.

Pretty Maids are celebrating their 30th anniversary as a band with their first audio visual release ever! After their successful and highly acclaimed 2010 album “Pandemonium” the Danish melodic hard rockers are releasing their new DVD/CD recording “IT COMES ALIVE (Maid in Switzerland)”.

Riding on the success of “Pandemonium” which by fans and reviewers was rated as the best Pretty Maids album since their heyday back in the eighties, the band has been touring more or less constantly throughout 2010 / 2011. They undertook a full scale European tour in 2010 and has since played several festivals plus the occasional gigs.

For many years there has been a massive and ongoing request for a live DVD with the band and on October 1st 2011 Pretty Maids gathered in Pratteln, Switzerland with a enthusiastic and high explosive crowd of die hard fans and followers to fulfill the demand.

The outcome of that special night can be witnessed on “IT COMES ALIVE” which shows the band at the top of their game, performing songs from a 30 year long career. Besides the concert itself, the DVD contains a Rockumentary with backstage footage, interviews with the band and their fans.

“IT COMES ALIVE (Maid in Switzerland)” captures Pretty Maids in their finest moment: Live on stage – In your face ! It’s party time, so just: TURN UP THE VOLUME !
