MPG plays at Rod Stewart Convention in the UK
It is no secret that Martie has been a huge Rod Stewart since he was a kid! He and the boys in MPG are thrilled to have accepted the invitation to play a very special tribute set at the charity show ”The Big RSC Weekend” in the UK in February 2008. Rod Stewart himself has asked for all proceeds to go to help in the fight against Prostate Cancer so the charity beneficary will be ”The Prostate Cancer Charity”. This show is a one night only event and will see the band cover rare album tracks by Rod Stewart. More MPG dates will hopefully be added to the UK in support of ”Road To Salvation” so watch this space for that.

Another Danish date has been added to the calendar. More details in the Events section

New drummer
Please welcome aboard our new drummer Jens B. There is a picture of the Swedish drummer who have already played his first gig with the boys in the band section
Check his MySpace page for more.

We wish our old drummer Jakob Schlein all the best in the future.

Melodicrock.com
Another brilliant review has surfaced! This time it’s the largest rock site on the entire Net giving ”Road To Salvation” a staggering 91% review and celebrating the new sound as ”old meets new” without losing the most important factors - the melody and the attacking guitar riffs. Read it in full now: www.melodicrock.com (scroll down a little for the review)

National newspaper crazy about MPG!
Danish nationwide newspaper BT has reviewed ”Road To Salvation” and done it in style, 5 out of 6 stars, claiming Martie is a true ”believer” who can still melt the hearts of women with his vocal harmonies! Martin Slott is also saluted for his great playing on the album, but we already knew that didn’t we?
The full review is here: BT review
