3 days before one of our recent gigs, I accidentially dropped my Monome 40h and broke the USB port.

I didn't turn pale and started to cry, but simply got it repaired with the help of a friend of mine, within the next day.
Although it was just the USB port that was physically broken, I knew that even if anything else inside got damaged, I would still be able to fix it with standard components, available in any electronics store.

That's the sustainability to expect from a musical instrument in order to be usable for years to come - just like our singer's violin, which has been handed on from generation to generation.

If anything similar would happen to Zelli's Korg, we'd be screwed...

After collecting and rearranging new song-ideas, we started to "pre-record" the first two songs*. The idea is to structurize the initial ideas of our new songs and gradually refine them during the next rehearsals. It's some sort of "record a new album while we play"-approach in order to capture real-emotions and life-feeling in our snew songs.

Friday, 25th and Saturday, 26th -> party on! :)
On Friday we will play our next show at the "Bergwerk" in Neusiedl am See (supporting "Rainer von Vielen" together with "null.acht.15") and on Saturday our Keyboarder Hannes aka "Mr. Korg" (http://www.myspace.com/mrkorgfromxbloome) will be part of the "Edelbrand-Records DJ-Team": http://www.edelbrand-records.at/wp-content/uploads/Venster_Flyer.jpg
