…gone for the summer…

Sunday, July 11th, 2010

Hey folks!

It seering outside and definitely time for a summer break to chase some waves, collect some new images, broaden the horizon and of course to gather some inspiration for the things before us. We wish you all a pleasant sunny summertime whereever you are and whatever you do. Enjoy life!

We’ll be back on stage in fall 2010…watch out!

Rock! Rock!! ROCK!!

I know we wrote that a lot by now, but last show was really huge…I mean, it was our first CD release in world history, and it was just so great. Even before it started it was a day to remember, with both of Frankfurt’s sport teams winning over some of the leagues’ best; but anyway, one great thing of the day was to team up with Projekt RSK and Gaspain. Those guys are just such nice fellow-beings, I can’t remember such a relaxed and easy get together of band egos. I hope we’ll play some more shows over time as that was an amazing bunch we had assembled last Saturday to celebrate the “Airtime”-CD.

The show itself was semi-crowded but enthusiastic, so what more can we hope for?! It’s just so humbling to stand on stage and see and hear people singing your (!) lyrics…those songs wouldn’t exist if it wasn’t for us…neither would the texts…and there are people who know the songs and sing and dance along! Can anybody understand what a big deal that is?! If not, try to get that feeling. Really!

Oh, and we finally played one new song, the first one for over a year. “What’s wrong” went pretty okay, and the crowd loved it, with its straight-in-your-face-appeal and the singalonglyrics it’s going to be an integral part of our new playlist. And there are even two more waiting to be aired over the next two shows…so be prepared to hear a lot of new Blash-stuff.

Talking about hearing stuff…if you don’t have the CD by now, you really should get it. Just send us an E-Mail (roq@blashed.net) and get that thing! It’s 5 Euro each, and it truly is an offer you can’t refuse – signatures also available on request ;)

Alright then, that’s it for today, enjoy life and see you next time around!!

Double-Header

Monday, February 22nd, 2010

Hey everybody out here, a little time has passed since we’ve last met, and things are beginning to unravel….ooohoooo, mysterious….OK, cut the crap! To break the news to you: WE’RE BACK! And this time in full stereo and full-3D. We have announced it for many months now, and by today it is done, our debut EP “Airtime” is ready for take-off; all songs are mixed, the artwork is well on its way, and we’re about to hit the stage again. So here’s the whole non-back-to-back-double-header-package:

…check the “dates” section for more details….

Apart from that….man, this year starts off fine. Two shows booked already, the CD on the final yards, the band healthy and complete, and the weather will also be better and warmer soon :) The olympics are going alright, the alps are still covered with snow, and summer vacation is going to be a blast. The bunker is still standing, the amps are still pumping, and Shortfuse’s throat is shrinking back to normal. AND….we got some new songs coming at you this time round!! So,  you see, we’re just a happy little band, and if you join us live, well, no guarantee, but it’s pretty safe to say you’ll have a night you won’t regret…

So, check your schedule, block the live dates, be there, roq on!
