We have received demos from many candidates from all over the world. Some of them were asked to send more material, and a few of them have been invited to Norway where we have been working with them in our studio.
It is with great relief we are announcing that this search is now over, and we will bring you more details around this soon."

The fact that she didn't write you a few lines before she took off might seem strange to us all, I don't want to raise any speculations about why. It was her decision to make. But I think it was the wrong one."

Debut album info and Joona’s departure
Hi Guys
Just letting you know that our first album is titled "Silta Yli Kaiken" (Bridge Over Everything, in English). The first single "Kiinni" and it'll be out later this autumn. So stay tuned for that, we'll post it in MySpace when time is right. It's going to be great.
Some sad news too. Our keyboardist Joona has decided to call it quits. After a long and thoughtful period Joona felt that being a musician simply isn't what he wants in life. We respect his decision and wish all the best for him and his family. We've seen a lot of turbulence in the local rock scene lately but this has not nothing to do with it. Joona will play the gigs until November. Due to this, he is not in the new promotional photos and will not do any interviews.

Beursgebouw Eindhoven sold out, new show at the Ahoy in Rotterdam!
As some of you might know, we will be playing at the Beursgebouw Eindhoven on November 24th. This show is now completely sold out, which is great news of course. We look forward to seeing you all there to experience this special evening together with us. For those of you who weren’t quick enough to get tickets we have great news. On February 7th 2008 we will be playing at the Ahoy Stadium in Rotterdam with the Dutch Metropole Orchestra!
When recording our albums, we have always worked with real orchestras. It is an important part of our sound, the dynamics and authentic sounds of an orchestra are truly unique. Therefore, we are really excited to do something like this in a live setting at the Ahoy
The Metropole Orchestra really is a big name in the international music industry. The orchestra has played with many famous artists and after we played with them a few times at award ceremonies, we came up with the idea to do a concert together.
Like our shows at the Java Island and the Beursgebouw Eindhoven, the Ahoy Stadium (pretty much thé concert hall to be in The Netherlands) will allow us to create a perfect show. Rotterdam is also easy to reach by car, train and airplane from various countries.
In short: it will be a night not to miss!
