1. We’re done!!!!!!

    Dear Friends,

    we made it. We just finished the recordings for our upcoming LP ‘twelve little compliments’.

    David has finished his vocal parts some days ago, up next were gang vocals with our friends: Olli, Euronico, Jannik, Claas, Jakob & Bönx.

    Yesterday Karen of our friends SHELLYCOAT did some guest vocals for one song and further backings. SOUNDS FUCKING AWESOME!

    In the meantime we also confirmed our record label for this release. It will be released by BAKRAUFARFITA RECORDS on September 16th this year on LP, CD and via Download (Itunes, Amazon…).

    Thanks in advance to Bönx, Fö & Sebo for all your trust and money, we won’t dissapoint you guys!!!

    What else to say?

    Ah, well our babies in SMILE AND BURN came to visit us in the studio. They had no time to record some guest parts but at least they left a track of chaos. That’s why we love them :)

    Now it’s on Sascha to mix and on Wolfgang to master our shit. Olli and the band are working out the beautiful artwork for the release. We have to send stuff out by the 15th of May! That early? Yeah, the label wants to do some cool promotion with this release (magazines, radio stations…). We couldn’t be more excited.

    We want to have this piece of work in our hands RIGHT NOW!

    To shorten time a bit, we’ll hit the road for some dates. Check out our Facebook BandPage for that!

    That’s all!

    Over & Out!

    AA!

  2. It’s almost done

    Hey friends,

    here’s an update on our work in the studio.

    David finished recording lead vocals yesterday. Congrats to him, sounds awesome. Now we’ll start messing up the songs with some filthy overdubs, backing vocals and crew shouts. AND expect some cool guest singers/musicians for some songs. FUCK YEAH.


    Again I have to say how lucky we are to work with Sascha. He seems to look in our dirty little minds and hearts and works out exactly what we want. He also comes up with some great ideas we might never have wasted a thought on. We’re totally content and proud with the stuff we recorded so far.

    Furthermore we’re working ‘behind the scenes’. Today we’re going to shoot pictures for the CD/LP cover with our good friend Carl Cash. (check his work out here: www.seven-aces.de).

    This week we also signed a contract with an awesome lable which puts all it’s hope in us (hope=money at this point, I guess).

    FINALLY we’re going to hit the road for some pretty sweet shows in April. We’ve missed it so much. Here are the shows we play in April:

    09.04. - Wegberg, Forum (Benefit for the japanese victims w/ Abfukk & more)

    14.04. - Luxemburg, DIE FEST!val (w/ Dear Landlord, Versus You & more)

    15.04. - Schwerte, Rattenloch (Bierschinken-Festival w/ Blacklist Royals & more)

    16.04. - Moenchengladbach, Serious Tattooing (early acoustic show at our friends’ party)

    27.04. - Kiel, Schaubude

    28.04. - Braunschweig, B58

    29.04. - Berlin, Trickster (w/ Teenage Love Guns)

    If you’re setting up a show on 26. and 30.04. - let us know. Willing to play on that days!

    That’s it for now!

    Love,

    AA!

  3. Update

    Yo guys,

    here’s a quick update on our recording progress.

    As you may have noticed drums and bass are already finished, we’re working on guitars right now. David & Artur are doing pretty well and with the help of Sascha (sound engineer) they created some awesome sounds. They’re using Sascha’s somehow limited DIEZEL amp for recordings. sounds totally insane. Additionally they’ve an Orange, Engl and Fender Amp on the run.

    We’re lucky to have Sascha to help us, he’s really professional and he hears everything. WOW!

    Expect a totally improved and poweful sound you don’t know from us yet.

    Anyways, we’re planning to have guitars finished by the end of this week. After that Sascha will start editing them so we can start recording vocals next week.

    In the meantime we’re already working on the artwork for “twelve little compliments”, will be awesome too.

    Also Marius started booking our Euro-Tour for fall this year. Besides Germany, we’re planning to hit France, Italy, Czech Republic, Switzerland and Austria. That sounds fun!

    We got to know:

    Studiotime is awesome but we’re already straining at the leash to hit the road again.

    Have a look at our upcoming shows!

    That’s it for now.

    Much love!

    -AA!

  7. things are going pretty well…

    Yesterday Marius finished another two songs. So he would be finished earlier than scheduled, which is awesome. That means, that we are going to rehearse two new songs on Thursday and Friday. At some point earlier we recognized, that there are only 10 Songs to go on the album. Now everything’s fine and there gonna be 12. YES.

    Here are the songs Marius already recorded for the LP:

    - Scarred wrists in the darkness of an alleyway

    - Farewell

    - If you’d stay

    - Pictures of reality

    - Fate

    - Boston Beer Party (2.0)

    - Homesick for the road

    - Join My Way

    Still to come:

    - Ode

    - Survivers In The Storm

    - Flutes In The Night (acoustic) and

    - one untitled song.

    Easy job, I guess.

    Thanks in advance to Pietz (AYS) for letting Marius play over his drumset whilst his is in the studio HEAVILY microphoned.

    Love,

    AA!

  8. we’re in the studio again…

    Hellow dear friends,

    as you may have noticed, we enterred the studio last saturday right after our tour in january.

    we’re happy to be back here at audiodesign studio to work with our friend sascha.

    This has happened by now:

    We started with the drums, of course. Set-Up and tuning last saturday, afterwads Sascha and some other dude started putting countless microphones nearby the drumset. Looked kind of professional ;)

    Saturday evening, we already had one song recorded. Sunday Marius really killed it and recorded 4 tracks in somewhat 6 hours. AWESOME.

    Yesterday was a day off (Sascha wanted to edit drumsound-stuff-whatever). Today Marius is on the rise again, watch out for news!

  9. so the tour is nearly over. right now we are getting our tour tattoos done before we are heading home. here is a quick but honest thank you to: claas, goli, anne, chris, tobi, steven, anna, wolle, smile and burn, shellycoat, teenage loveguns, ays and everyone else who set up a show or played with us. we love you all. aa!
