About Me


18.05.08 - Red noses and pretty noises

For a change I'll attempt writing an update since C.F and his better half thought it would be a good idea to visit England and abuse the hospitality of our good friends, Casper and Carin . We can only hope that they'll once more endure his unique charm. They'll also be attending the ATP festival in Minehead to see bands such as Explosions In The Sky, Eluvium, Envy, Mono and ...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead to name a few.

As far as the EP goes, we are pretty much done with the hardest part of the pre-production, as soon as C.F returns we'll shape the last bits and pieces and then hit the studio.

In the meanwhile, Robin and I will start to write some new material, but while he is away we'll try to stay the same, or not.
