Uriah Heep are currently on their Into The Wild Tour
World - Le Maitre's Multi-Venue System (M.V.S.) Hazer is the only haze machine that rock band Uriah Heep will use. Currently on their Into The Wild Tour, with dates around the globe, the band's lead singer, Bernie Shaw comments: "With Uriah Heep playing on the world stage now in excess of 40 years, we've worked with most effects companies' hazers and smoke machines at our concerts all over the world. We've found Le Maitre's MVS Hazers to be the best, and now have them on our technical rider.

"With five singers in the band, we need a product that does not dry your throat, is tasteless, odourless but efficient and reliable enough to make the light show look good, but not hinder our performance. A very tall order that Le Maitre hazers handle with ease."

Playing as close to home as London's Shepherds Bush Empire, to as far afield as Vladisvostok and Venezuela, Uriah Heep try to keep the same high standard show in whatever country they're in at the time, in terms of audio and visual and perfomance.

"If we're lucky, we have our own back line and technical rider, but sometimes it's left to whatever the local sound and light companies have left in their warehouse," says Shaw. "For this past year though, there's one bit of kit we never left to chance - our Le Maitre MVS Hazers."
