New Band Photo

Downstairs at Kult 41
DECEMBER 2012
Recently we recorded Downstairs – another new song for our upcoming album, which requires a rough and sturdy sound. To achieve that we temporarily moved into a club in Bonn – the Kult 41 – where we also played a concert earlier this year. An awesome place with boomy acoustics, excellently brewed coffee and most friendly folks. Like being home in a way.
The recording session has also been filmed. Check back soon for the upcoming video clip.
Thank you Eva of Kult 41 for providing that perfectly matching location. Thank you Stefan and Maurice for running back and forth and around us with cameras and tripods. And thank you Susan for taking photos of the day downstairs.
See you soon!
Back at Maarwegstudio 2
AUGUST 2012
… or back to the seventies…
In 2011 we had the pleasure to record an acoustic version of ‘Watch You Sleep’ at Maarwegstudio2 in Cologne. Now we returned to this inspiring venue to work on new songs for our next album. Wooden floors, cork covered walls, cozy couches next to the grand piano and Cologne’s finest coffee flowing like streams of milk and honey…
