Seppo about HIM’s future plans
HIM`s manager Seppo Vesterinen revealed in an interview that the next tour is going to be about 2 months in length and reaching into the middle states as much as possible, although not everything is confirmed yet. HIM likes playing the smaller shows. It is most likely that they will play venues at 2,000 to 2,500 max.
HIM is planning to play an American festival or two but when and where is not clear yet.
Warner has now taken over official site heartagram.com and a new person is going to be running it. Within the next couple of days a new thing should be launched, maybe tomorrow. It will include interview and media of HIM never seen before.
Every friday HIM goes into the studio and takes pics and interviews before they record or after. (credit TheSacrament.net)
