Anvil, the Canadian heavy metal outfit whose hit documentary has led to a late-career resurgence, is having one the best weeks in its 30-plus year history. The band opened for AC/DC on Tuesday night in Boston – the first of three stadium shows the group is playing with the Australian rock legends; singer/guitarist Steve “Lips” Kudlow and drummer Robb Reiner were trailed around New York City by a crew from ABC’s “Nightline” for an upcoming network television profile; and new-found fans Green Day even brought their Anvil t-shirts into the White House on a visit Wednesday afternoon. ”Really amazing, amazing experience — just walking out onto that massive stage,” Lips said
“Opening for AC/DC was totally mindblowing,” Reiner added. “I can’t wait to do it again.” They open for AC/DC tonight (July 31) at Giants Stadium in New Jersey and again on August 6 at Magentic Hill Stadium in New Brunswick, Canada. The band’s schedule is just as jam-packed into the middle of 2010.
