HANOI ROCKS Drummer LACU To Leave Band After European Tour - Jan. 26, 2008

Legendary Finnish rockers HANOI ROCKS will end their working relationship with their current drummer Kari "Lacu" Lahtinen.

Lacu will leave the band after HANOI ROCKS' European tour, which kicks off on February 14 in Stockholm, Sweden and concludes at the Astoria in London, England on March 7. The change behind the drum kit will not affect any forthcoming HANOI ROCKS gigs or tours.

The new HANOI ROCKS drummer will be announced soon.

Demolition Records recently released a special-edition digipack of HANOI ROCKS' new CD "Street Poetry" featuring four bonus tracks: "Trouble Boys", "Fashion" (video), "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" (video), "High School" (video).

	Hey, this will be a perfect excuse for Hanoi Rocks to cancel the next 75 dates they have lined up! Has this band even played live since 1984?

	They don't need a big name drummer, they just have to get the right guy to play straight up rock. Steven Adler is a great, but not for Hanoi. There are a lot of great people to handle that. HEY MICHAEL.... WHEN THE FUCK ARE YOU COMING TO NYC????
