VILLE VALO (of H.I.M.) Brings 'Neon Noir' Tour to North America This Spring

The beloved voice of illustrious goth-rock sensation H.I.M., Finnish love-metal pioneer VILLE VALO has branched out since the band called it a career - etching a new line into the infamous Heartagram (literally) with his new solo project VV. The debut album, 'Neon Noir', was released on January 13 of this year, and Ville has begun a worldwide tour supporting his new opus!

Currently playing sold-out shows in Europe and the UK, Ville will return to the US with 31 shows this Spring, beginning March 31 in Philadelphia, PA, and concluding in New York City on May 9.

Ville shares, "As fun as the funeral rites for HIM were, it took me more than a few moons to lick my wounds in the shadow of the Heartagram and come up with an excuse to strum and hum again. Eventually, I decided to put a leash on my beloved black dog and we started howling together instead of barking at each other. That's how VV and the album 'Neon Noir' was born."

He later adds, "I firmly believe 'Neon Noir' sprinkles some much-missed glitter all over modern-day doom and gloom. It's 12 lessons in RECKLESS abandon without spilling the red."

'Neon Noir' was released on Heartagram Records (distributed by Universal/Spinefarm) and features the singles "Loveletting", "Echolocate Your Heart", and the title track, "Neon Noir".
