Due to popular demand from our Scottish friends, we'll shortly be posting details of our amAzor Scottish tour, this should be up within the week.
For those of you who met the amAzor team at Manchester, and heard the debut gigs of Beanius, I hope you enjoyed the experience - and for those of you that have (yet) to experience our awesome Wii 'Guitar Hero - Legends of Rock "experience in Glasgow (and other Scottish locations) more details will be forthcoming.
But for those of you who are a little further afield, be sure to bookmark www.KingofAirGuitar.com - the next (almost legendary) game coming soon from King of Shaves, the shaving brand that has struck a resonant note with the British shaving public with it's Azor launch just a couple of months ago...
After all, "If you wanna be a Rock Star, gotta shave like a King"...
There is a new pretender to the Azor Guitar Challenge Throne .... Abbie the newly crowned "Queen of Rock" scorched to an impressive 250,275 points on the Azor Guitar Hero Challenge outside the Trafford Centre here in Manchester much to the thrill of the crowd - she beat a large number of old cosmic rockers to the throne of the King of Shaves guitar hero hall of fame ( including me ) and had her name etched onto the high score-board for all time. Congrats from the Azor Team ... it was great to go out on a high note here in Manchester.
Early showers did not dampen enthusiasm for the King of Shaves Azor at the Machester Trafford Centre today. Our first recruit for the attentions of the Shave Doctor was Gary, who wanted you all to know that the love bite on his neck was nothing to do with his shaving experience at the King of Shaves Battlebus !!
In fact he was treated to a masterful shave by Mark, the Shave Doctor, who runs www.shaveschool.com when he isn't assisting with the Tour.
He finished the experience beneath a hot towel and with some King of Shaves moisturiser proving that shave preparation and after shave care is an important part of a good shaving experience.
The other activities continued with endless people coming up to try their hand at the Wii Azor Guitar Challenge
And there was no shortage of takers for the Azor Footbal Game ....
So despite the early portents ... the last day of this phase of the Amazorbus Tour was a scorcher ... thanks to all those who have supported us along the way.
The Trafford Centre in Manchester got a bit of a shock today as Beanius, the rock band supporting the Azor Tour of the UK rocked up to play 3 stunning sets under the mantle of the Entrance to the Great Hall. Fans had travlled from as far afield as the Isle of Wight to watch the band perform and locals gravitated to the bus to hear them play.

The band is lead by Matthew Bean who plays lead Guitar and their musical careers have received an unexpected boost from the King of Shaves. Will King ( Founder ) spotted their raw tallent and decided to give them a break - playing at the launch of the Azor and to KoS staff on the inagural gig of the UK amAzorbus Tour ....

The lead singer Scott Evanson gave it heaps on vocals ... blazing an amazing rendition of the John Tracey song ... Folly of Five ... the lyrics of which riducle the madness of superfluous blades and virbating handles of the competitors to the new Azor ...

The drummer, Doug Bean, played a blistering set ... and had the crowd screaming for more as he thrashed the beat out on some of the bands less known numbers ...

The bands fourth member, John Scott, played out of his skin with some awesom riffs on the mega bass guitar ( bought for a steal on e-bay ). His moves caught the attention of some of the ladies in the crowd ... was that the signing of autographs I saw after the last set.

The set ended with the band at full tilt and the sound echoing through the shopping malls of the Trafford Centre .... there could be no doubt that the Azor Tour was in town. You will be able to see more of the set in video form on the Beanius Website later in the week ... go to http://beanius.co.uk/ and get a feel for what you were missing !!

Even Ronnie the Tour Manager for the King of Shaves Tour was seen knocking out some radical beats in the interval between sets ... there was a perid where he and Phil Brown ( MC ) broke out into a rap thing that had people dazzed in the streets ....

At times the crowds gathered but nobody expected the proceedings to be overlooked by the angelic realms ... seen here atop the Amazorbus ....

They were not the only ones to be commenting on the new Azor ... the Lions posted to guard the bus at night were also uttering the Azor word by the end of the day ....

Finally the Azorbus was graced by the presence of Shelley Rudman for the second time in the Tour. Shelley won the Olympic Silever medal at the last Winter Olympics in the Bob Skeleton ( one man bob-sleigh ) and is sponsored by King of Shaves up to the next Winter Olympics which is in Vancouver in 2010. Shelley was interviewed by MC Phil Brown and answered questions about her campaign ... she was even seen demonstrating some of her moves on the stage ... but with out the benefit of snow ...

The Beanius gig and having Shelley visit us in Manchester was a really high note on which to end the initial phase of the King of Shaves Azor Tour ... we have one more day here in Manchester and then it's back down south to await the next chapter in the story that is the King of Shaves Battlebus Tour .... SHAVING THE WORLD !!
