Friends!

 

As you might have heard we will release a video for a song called „Appletini“. Shortly after that, there will be another video for the song „Coffee & Candy“.


In January our old drummer left the band and Joey joined Blackout Problems. Why talk about that now? When you take a look at the videos you will discover our old drummer running around and acting. One week after we’d finished filming those videos he told us that he’s gotta quit the band. We already had recorded nearly most of our record “LIFE” with his drumming at that point.


When Joey joined the band we wanted him to be as proud of the CD as we hopefully will be when we release it. So we decided to go back to the studio and record it all over. Again!

So now that we are ready to release some new stuff for you, we thought goddamn. We’ve got a problem: Joey’s not in our videos! We decided to release those videos either way with the old drummer because of several aspects. Both video productions were incredibly intense and awesome. We had the best teams in the world. Those guys and girls invested so much time and effort for us. It was out of the question to let them down by not releasing the videos. We were really proud to get a chance to work with such motivated and talented people!


This is just to avoid any confusion. Joey is still a part of the band and we are immensely happy about every cup of coffee we share! He’s legendarily awesome! The hard facts now: You see the old drummer - you hear the new one =)


This is also an incredibly big THANK YOU for everyone who helped us shooting, who participates in our projects and keeps us going! 


LOVE.

Blackout Problems

What happened to Eric Prydz?

and there we are. 

Sitting in a car and driving to Austria's capital.

I'm not Ted Mosby the architect but i know that vienna's houses freaking rule. It's always amazing to walk through vienna and just keep your head up to look on facades.

Anyway. 

Here's a new blog. Thanks Biggi for filming and cutting (Thumbs up for her!)

 

Call on me.

delayyyyed.

back in the city. 

as you might have seen, our diaries stopped after three days of trying to keep you informed about what's going on in england. We were pretty busy and couldn't find the time to sit around in coffee places that would feed us with free wifi.

 

We took the time to collect some pics to show you some pieces of our path. sit back, enjoy.

 

England treated us so amazing. Thanks to everyonewho helped us getting the gigs over there!

Especially Peppi, Marvin, Dodo, Kev, Johnny, Nick, and everyone we forgot.

Don't forget to check the Nihils' new smash "Set My Sail"

Monday: we did Balcony TV Brighton which should be online soon! Check their youtube channel every now and then.

We played a song from our debut cd and talked pretty shitty english.

After that we headed to a pub called "The Greenhouse Effect" to play some songs with the Nihils.

Damn it was fun!
