Cool news!

Manu Delago (the drummer/percussionist/hang player who played with Björk on her Biophilia tour) invited us to play at his festival in LONDON in april the 6th 2013! Very delighted to come back to the UK! The Festival will also feature Graduale Nobile, the icelandic choir who also performed with Björk lately.
And, there is a chance we might play together with both Manu and the choir! We're looking forward to this.

Cheers, Gerri & Raphi

Finally, we have a website! It's still a bit drafty, incomplete and work in progress. but big thanks to our lovely all-round supertalent, sound engineer and producer Sandor Caron for building it and Uli Genenger (Liluc) for designing what had to be designed. Many thanks also go to Bruno Ferro Xavier da Silva for our new logo and Sarah van Sonsbeeck for the photograph of our set-up.

We just finished a recording session of three days with Carlos and Bas from studio de Zwarte Molen and Sandor Caron. Two new songs "Ton I" and "Kadootjes"

Thanks a lot for all the help guys!
