DEAR FRIENDS,

HAS IT REALLY BEEN A WHOLE YEAR SINCE I LAST WROTE YOU?
FFF. . . WHAT CAN I SAY? STRANGE YEAR. STRANGE YEAR INDEED.

IT STARTED REALLY GREAT. ON ST. PATRICK’S DAY WE MET, JAMMED, AND EVEN DID A GIG WITH JO AND OUR GOOD OLD FRIEND PADDY.

JUNE SAW US PLAYING QUELLROCK, AN OPEN AIR FESTIVAL IN THE RUINS OF A MEDIEVAL CASTLE! I MEAN HOW COOL IS THAT? FANTASTIC FESTIVAL, BY THE WAY.

IN JULY WE RECORDED A FULL 21 DRUM TRACKS FOR OUR UPCOMING NEW CD. SINCE THEN, THOUGH, I’VE BEEN NOTHING BUT STRUGGLING TO FIND TIME, ANY TIME. THING IS, I’M CURRENTLY WORKING 80-100 HOURS A WEEK, EVERY WEEK, AT DIFFERENT PLACES.

IT’S SORT OF IRONIC. NOW THAT I FINALLY EARN ENOUGH MONEY TO PAY FOR OUR NEXT CD, I CAN’T FIND THE TIME TO REHEARSE AND RECORD THE BLOODY THING. BUT I WILL. WE WILL.

SO WHAT’S UP NEXT, DELAYED RECORDING SESSIONS ASIDE? WELL, OUR 3RD ACOUSTIC NIGHT AT THE FABULOUS LION BAR IN BISCHOFSZELL! TAKES PLACE ON JANUARY 13, 2007. STARTS AT 20:30 PM. ADMISSION IS CHF 20. FOR RESERVATIONS, CALL (+41) 714228020, OR SEND A FAX TO (+41) 714228030.

LAST BUT NOT LEAST, HERE'S OUR TRADITIONAL CHRISTMAS PRESENT FOR YOU. THIS TIME IT’S AN ANGRY AND NOISY OLD REHEARSAL OUTTAKE OF ONE OF THOSE DAYS.

WISHING YOU ALL THE VERY BEST FOR 2007.

MERRY CHRISTMAS
AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!

ANDRE
