MUSTASCH Parts Ways With Guitarist

June 19, 2008

Swedish hard rockers MUSTASCH have announced the departure of longtime guitarist Hannes Hansson. His last concert with the group will take place on June 25 at Liseberg in Gothenburg, Sweden.

"It's been a fantastic period of ten years with the band, but now the band has grown so much with touring all over the world," Hannes explained in a statement. "It takes too much from my family and other things in life which I now want to put all my priority to."

Hansson's departure will not affect MUSTASCH's touring plans.

MUSTASCH was honored in "Best Hard Rock" category at Sweden's "Grammis" gala, which was held on January 9 at Globen in Stockholm. MOTRHEAD drummer Mikkey Dee presented the award to MUSTASCH, who beat out such veterans acts as CANDLEMASS, ENTOMBED and CLAWFINGER for the honor.

MUSTASCH released a "best-of" album, entitled "Lowlife Highlight", in February through Regain Records. The CD features 18 songs from the band's back catalogue originally issued by EMI.

MUSTASCH recently inked a new deal with Regain Records for the group's follow-up to "Latest Version of the Truth", scheduled for a 2009 release.
