there's nothing that a little duct tape won't fix.

About Me

SO, WHAT'S THE DEAL HERE?

Nilo isn't writing any songs this year, so there's not much singing going on either.

Naifu has just released a new album called "Pieces of Women". It comes in a beautiful packaging, hand-sewn by Dominique - check it out!

Guernica is to release a cd ep later this autumn on the infamous Vlas Vegas records. This sophisticated rock-'n-roll outfit is to play a lot of (tbc) shows all over the country, also later this autumn.

Wixel still makes beautiful music to fall asleep with. Sometimes i join him on stage, right now about once a month.

Other than that, I'm into swimming, drinking tea, playing badminton, and taking the odd picture.

There are no links in this section because i don't know enough html for that.

Thankyoubye.
