WOW – we were so excited but scared to do it for the first time…But you were so gentle with us and made it so smoothe that it was the best fun we had in a long time. Of course we’re talking about the new live set we played in JENA last Monday for the very first time. YOU WERE GREAT!!
For those, who haven’t been there, here is a small video the promoter shot from the side of the stage:
Hello people
We’re currently working on a new live set-up. we’re arranging the songs for the new album and will start rehearsing next week. On stage we’ll only have minor changes. The biggest of which is a new instrument that we built for the song WOODY – therefore we call the instrument WOODYPHONE.
These are the ingredients (keyboard stand, woods, screws etc.) to build the woodyphone plus mallets and it cost us less than 50 Euros:
First of all we needed to make sure that the woods can resonate, so they needed to be attached to the keyboard stand on one side without being too fixed and be elastic on the other side to resonate. We decided to tap screw threads into the stand and apply screws, then isloate the screws and the stand with plastic tubes and foam on one side, tubes and felt on the other side:
The hardest task was to saw the wood sticks to the right length to get the tunes, we wanted. It took quite some time to make them into tune. For best resonating sound the hole in the wood needed to be at exactly 22% of the woods length. It finally took a few hours to polish the woods and make everything look good and after only 2 days the WOODYPHONE was finished:
We only recorded it with a cheap mobile mic, in real it has a much more tonal sound:
On our last album it took us quite some time to arrange the order of the songs. This time it was all different, already when writing the songs we knew the trackposition in the album. BANDBAND has 11 Tracks and a total lenghts of 42 minutes. This is how the tracklist reads:
first single will be announced soon!
We had a long list of possible titels for the new album. And after a long time of thinking and consideration we decided to go for….none of them. In the car we had the final idea: The name of our second album will be:
Oh yeah!!
We’re proud, happy and excited to announce our second album, due on June 15th this year. Can’t wait for the finishing touches to be made!!! Next week we hit the studio for first recordings – we’ll keep you updated with more bombastic news!Thanks for your support so far!
Good morning
We’re already awake because we start our tour today. Over the next 10 days we’ll mainly play in southern Germany and Austria and we’re very exited to be on tour again.
Today we kick off with Karlsruhe, heading to Landau to have a nice Sunday. Then across the border to Innsbruck on Monday (first Show in Austria ever!), having a day off on Tuesday and going to our label AdP Records to talk about the new album. On Wednesday we’ll play Nürnberg, Würzburg on Thursday, Nürtingen Friday and then we finish that week with Bayreuth @ Glashaus – really looking forward to that! We’ll be heading back to Berlin for a few days to finish the tour with Dresden on February 2nd, then Hamburg and Berlin on the 3rd and 4th. And then we’ll sleep
See you soon in your town,
