Lukas Rossi takes a bite off TLRC

The last few weeks have proven to be pretty exciting for Lukas’ posse, regardless of where they where from or what their favorite hangout was. He made his comeback to his homeland will full force generating tons of long awaited TV appearances that dedicated fans, later generously shared with the rest of the world. It was long overdue.

No, but I mean, is it just me? Rock Star Supernova, the series ended mid September and if it weren’t for Canada and a bit of coverage from our friends in New Zealand, the entire Supernova would have turned into a black hole! What’s wrong with the promotion team in the US? Don’t they want the boys to make it? Sources confirmed that the CD sales as well as the concert tickets in the United States aren’t doing so well. Heck! None of the songs has made it to the charts yet. And two of them where officially released: “It’s all love” for the standard and pop/rock market and “Be Yourself (and 5 Other Clichés)” for the more rock oriented stations. There are numerous Lukas Rossi and/or Rock Star Supernova “street teams” popping up all over the globe to help promote them by requesting the songs on their radio stations, yet, not much is going on. Except for the Jimmy Kimmel show and a few Internet based interviews and performances with the band. 

In Canada, the CD sales went gold in less than a week and most of the dates are pretty much sold-out! Lukas & Gilby attended the Gemini Award and gave an AMAZING live performance. Lukas’ voice was clear and crisp. It was the beginning of good days to come. Lukas with ex band mate from Rise Electric gave us yet another touching performance on Breakfast Television.

And from that great night, appeared out of nowhere, a series of unexpected events. At one point, our fan site was mentioned on the radio during a live Lukas interview. At that time he promised he would visit us that night to chat. That statement of his created a wave of high expectations amongst the fans, website members and not. Everyone wanted a piece of the action. He didn’t make that night. Instead he checked us out first. And opportunity knocked soon after when he was presented a banner of TLRC, the main site and thought it was good enough to take a bite of!   

   Thanks to their Canadian labels, which do not skimp on promotion, Lukas took a few minutes to pose for the camera biting off a piece of our main site’s banner and to sign some merchandise that would later on be given back to the fans in a flash giveaway. That was fun. And very generous of all the parties involved. Again, thank you.  

November 25^th as part of an impressive rock stars line-up, the Thirsty Toad in Ottawa introduced Lukas Rossi in all his glory. In front of a sold-out crowd he performed a mix of his new band and old with long time band mate and friend. It was his first show back home as an official member of Rock Star Supernova. And a great night!

Oh and I forgot to mention. He finally did make it to our friendly forum. That will be a night that all TLRC members will remember.  Rockstar Supernova kick-off their tour on December 31^st at The Joint in Las Vegas!
