| the final countdown (2008) |
[Dec. 23rd, 2008|09:56 pm] |
slowly but surely the year 2008 draws to an end and everybody likes to take some time to look back - so why shouldn't we? we played quite some shows at home and abroad, we very successfully released the cd/dvd "i cry" and in between we also signed to our new label "trisol".
you wouldn'd call that an idle year, would you? and we could easily sit back and stare into the crackling fireside. but we won't. instead, we're going to step it up once more and spend the final days of the year on the road burning a fireworks of live shows:
25.12.2008: chemnitz, stadthalle, dark storm festival 2008
26.12.2008: berlin, postbahnhof, neuwerk festival 2008
27.12.2008: düsseldorf, stahlwerk, neuwerk festival 2008
28.12.2008: ludwigsburg, rockfabrik, dark x-mas
29.12.2008: augsburg, rockfabrik, dark x-mas
well then, those of you unwilling to sit at home between christmas goose and new years eve party should know what to do by now, right? see you!

| no oops, but still... |

...we did it again:
since last week we're the number one in the german alternative charts (dac). little by little our new ep "i cry" had climbed up and eventually reached the top! thanks to all of our fans, all dj's, all dealers and - last not least thanks to our label - for their fantastic support on this mission. there is a also a limited edition with a bonus dvd available in your record stores and at www.infrarot.de! it contains some recordings taken from concerts of our "world tour" with covenant, featuring a previously unreleased live version of "undone" as well as an in-depth interview with the band. for more information go to www.rotersand.net.
by the way, this ep is our first release since we signed to the successful trisol label in june 2008. the label managers alex storm and johnnie clapper are looking after their new "baby" themselves and we have got quite some things coming during the next months. for more information on trisol go to www.rotersand.net and click on the trisol-logo!

| "Got fresh at the weekend!" |
[May. 28th, 2007|06:27 pm] |
This was a busy, yet refreshing weekend, indeed:
Friday's Amstelveen show was not overwhelmingly well attended - probably due to a significant audience drain towards WGT. Still we were warmly received and had really great time on and off stage. Thank you P60, thank you Amstelveen, thank you Netherlands.
The WGT show next day was a mere blast. The audience grabbed and lifted us from the very first moment on. And even though we experienced severe technical turbulence during the flight - with massive help from a couple of hundred "attendants" we did not crash but managed to smoothly finish our mission. For us it was definitely a show to remember and we hope, that you will also keep it in good memory. Thank you all so very much.
Sunday saw us hosting our first record release party ever. We were so exited and glad to see so many fans attending it. To all of you, that joined s there: thank you and stay tuned. |

L.A. was unforgettable!!! First we went swimming in beautiful Santa Monica before we headed back for the venue to prepare the show. The soundcheck turned out to be a special experience as Clas tried to use Krisch's stage transformer for his hairdryer while we were soundchecking. The transformer was so shocked about being introduced into this new field of acitivity that it passed out immediately with a loud "woooooosh". Well, we agree that style is very important, of course, but... ;-)))))
As it was our last show on this tour we wore funny hats on stage, Sam from IR entered the stage as Burger King while we were playing Exterminate and Eskil joined us at the end to thank us for our support. We appreciate this very much, thank you, guys, we are proud you took us with you. :-)))) A huge THANK YOU to all our fellow musicians!!! Also a huge THANK YOU to everybody on this tour who helped us, like Aliki, Stefan, Jocke, Juergen, Alex... You were all incredibly fantastic!
The audience was AMAZING (I'm slightly tempted to say: as usual ;-)) THANK YOU SO MUCH EVERYBODY WHO WAS THERE AND MADE US FEEL SPECIAL. IN L.A. AND EVERYWHERE. YOU MADE OUR DAYS!!! And if you liked us, don't hesitate to spread the word...
Ok, our stuff is packed. Now we'll try to get some sleep before we are leaving for Germany tomorrow. Our first tour ever in the USA and Canada has been a wonderful experience. We'll come back, promised!!! Stay tuned! |

To all the people who have been at our show in San Francisco: THANK YOU for helping us convince our American boss Dave that we are a band some (one or two) people would really like to listen to!!! Or even wanna see us on stage. ;-) You were great!!!
We did some filming on our little tour video - especially at our private little pre-farewell afterparty. The show in L.A. tonight will be our last one (speaking of this tour) and so we started hugging everybody yesterday (ok, we are honest: this morning), just to make sure we don't forget anybody. Eskil and me pogoed on Kim Wilde's Kids In America (Oh, yes, YOU CAN!!! Real musicians like us have this special feeling for the subtile elements in music which are not obvious to everybody and which enable us to do things others cannot ;-))
Everybody seems to be sad that we are going home. Ourselves included. But there is still one show to look forward to.
L.A., be prepared! |

| Portland, OR @ Hawthorne Theatre |
[Oct. 14th, 2006|11:45 pm] |
It's fantastic to observe how people decide to like us after two or three songs as it happened in beautiful Portland. The people who knew us - we've seen some of them in Seattle already - were with us from the beginning and bounced and sang along and danced. And the others joined soon... Thank you very much!!! You are all so kind to us. And you buy our records, which is very nice of you as well....
And remember, please be careful when you are on your way to or from the venue. We are still shocked about what happened and we want everybody to arrive safe at her or his home. If you have to walk through dodgy areas to get to your car or to a bus stop: Don't hesitate to ask us to accompany you. Don't risk your life and health!!! |

We've just heard that the girl who was following the tour and hadn't been seen since the Detroit show has been found seriously injured and unconscious. Attacked by several individuals she is reported to be in a hospital now - still unconscious due to her injuries.
We are so incredibly sorry that this happened to her and do wish her all the best for her complete recovery! Anybody of you who knows anything about her condition, please keep us posted. All of us here would like to send her the best wishes and would like to get in touch with her as soon as possible.
GIRLS, PLEASE, BE CAREFUL. Stay with friends and people you can trust and keep an eye on others too. Don't let anything like this happen again. |

[Oct. 13th, 2006|01:57 am] |
After an endless endless endless... bus ride we finally saw Seattle. And Seattle saw our first encore on this tour!!! Our manager (and tour manager) Stefan got carried away by the incredible response of the audience and gave us the permisssion to play one more song (although there actually is no time left for encores). For all those fantastic people we played Lifelight.
We loved the venue, because of its wide stage, we felt closer to the audience than usual, which was absolutely marvelous. And it was great to meet friends backstage like Tom Shear from Assemblage 23 - with whom we had the honour to tour two years ago - and his lovely wife Megan.
Not so great was that the people at the afterparty took our drinks away (out of our hands!!!), because it was 2. A.M. We weren't even allowed to finish it. There are some strange rituals in the US. Is it ok to get drunk before 2. A.M., but afterwards it isn't? Is there a secret meaning behind this? Something that has to do with full or half full moons? Or black cats crossing streets from left to right? |

| Salt Lake City, UT & Avalon Theater |
[Oct. 12th, 2006|12:58 am] |
What a night! Inebriating! Thank you, we loved you! Everybody was with us, bounced, danced and sang along. We felt like olympic winners and we definetely want to come back to a place where the people make us feel like that.
After all the stress with the broken bus we were really keen on dancing as we were the lucky ones who had a hotel room for the previous night. The heroes were: Ted from Imperative Reaction, our manager Stefan and our light engeneer Jocke! They have driven all our equipment over icy roads to Salt Lake City .. in a rented car. So they were totally tired out. Heroe Stefan even decided to sleep at the venue in order to guard the equipment.
Those of you who were at the afterparty know: We didn't.
Unfortunately the party was at another place, the "Area 51" (named after the place where the US the secret boss of Scully and Mulder stores all the U.F.O.s ;-) ) down the road. Fortunately two very nice fans were willing to give us a lift. It was very interesting to watch how many indefinable items can be transported in a comparatively small vehicle, it took our drivers about ten minutes to make the car usable (for us) by putting everything into the trunk. Afterwards they found out the trunk lock was broken. We are gentlemen, we helped: we started to tape the trunk with Gaffa tape pimp our ride. (No, we weren't drunk. They only gave us lemonade at the venue.)
In the place the battle of the bands (at least parts of it) continued (for explanation read previous postings). The weapons were neither ice cubes nor canon balls. This time we had sticks: We played billiard. Which was kind of unfair as we suspect this to be a national sport in Sweden.
Hey, we have other strengths! Really!
One of them: We can dance move ourselves to music!
And we did .. to Queen's "Somebody To Love". What a song!
Yes, we went to bed. Sometime. In the morning. Without being drunk at all although we didn't have to drive. A shame!
Today: The new bus. Ok, the old one was beautiful. This one is bigger - and beautiful (kind of). Black with dark blue stripes. Much more luxury, especially on the inside where we have a porn interieur: velvet, mirrors, light tubes with little bulbs, parquet. The aura of Hollywood. I mean, we HAVE a camera...
