Holy Shit

Tuesday, August 18th, 2009

Man, what was that?! Yes, we’re back from our Italian adventure near the Lago Maggiore. We played the Monday headlining show at a local festival organized by the strangest buch of people out there. We’re still not sure if they are just some strange hippie dudes, clever businessmen or some sort of a sect. If you feel like educating yourself about those guys, here’s a good site to start from (yes, the comments stunningly are all true to the core of it).

Italy, here we come

Tuesday, July 21st, 2009

So, summer’s here and we’re are almost packing our gear to head for our first European tour ever. Yes, we are talking about leaving the country, driving all the way up and down the alps and headlining this year’s “Spirit of Woodstock”-Monday (August 3rd); yes, we really headline this night and will be rocking the Italian landscape starting at 23.00h.

Rest in Peace, Michael

Friday, June 26th, 2009

What a sad day. Michael Jackson passed away last night, and what can we say…thank you for the time you spent on this planet, thank you for the music, and may you find peace wherever you are now. The world has become poorer without you.

Release Party

Monday, May 25th, 2009

Aloha united people of Blash!

We proudly announce that we have fixed the date for our very first release show & party. On August 27 we will present our debut-E.P. “Airtime” at the Clubkeller, Frankfurt. It will start at 8 p.m., and we will be playing not only the four songs that make up the E.P….no, we will have a full one hour plus set featuring each and every song, most wanted and almost forgotten pearls from the vault.

What a week

Monday, May 4th, 2009

Pfew! Finally! The weekend is over and we’re pretty done with. 3 birthdays and 2 shows in only 5 days was quite a bit…and definitely worth it. The acoustic session at the Weingeist was really realaxed and a good start into those packed days. I guess people enjoyed it as much as we did, only the Britney cover song was estranging to one girl. Anyway.

European Tour 2009!!!

Tuesday, April 28th, 2009

Wow! I mean: WOW!!! We were just confirmed to play at the Spirit of Woodstock festival in Maripuri, Italy. Can you believe that?? Seems that we really are big in Italy, even though our home area tends to ignore us from time to time. But better being big dogs somewhere than being smalltimeguys at home :)

Anyway, this means Blash is heading of for our first show outside Germany, so let’s call that THE BLASH EUROPEAN TOUR 2009 *yeah* The festival is a one-week event in Northern Italy, right next to Lago di Como; we’ll be playing two shows on August 3rd and also be hanging out there some day in advance to get the hippie feeling right. Yes, we’re so part of that rock-n-roll-thing going on since Jimmy took the stage in 1969 and people were crawling in mud happily ever after.

So stoked, I can tell you!!
See you round! And don’t forget the other shows:
April 29: Weingeist, acoustic session
May 2: Filli Forever, re-plugged together with Cubiq

Peace my brothers and sisters!

Done!

Friday, April 17th, 2009

Yeah! We did it!! We have just finished recording our very first E.P. :) By now the raw material is being processed to be mixed and engineered by the famous Big Ruben of Elysia…not a bad start for our littel band!

We spent 4 days and nights at the Eagleway4 Studios at Kamp-Lintfort recording 4 tracks (Preacher Girl, Six Weeks, Watch Me and Nu Sound), and what can I say, it sounds so fantastic, better than anything else we have recorded so far, and all of this without any mixing or postproduction so far. Every single tracks vibrates with an intensity we never thought we could put on a tape; thanks to Ruben for his idea to record the basic tracks as a band, meaning we miced everything and rocked the studio right away as if it was a stage (minus the vocals). That way we captured the live energy which is an important part of the blashy way….

Writing about music is always a bit akward, so just check out the picture section (head right to the “pictures” section) for some impressions of the recording process, and get ready for some “Airtime” this summer!! We’ll keep you informed about the proceedings and the publishing date!

All this would not have been possible without the generous help of some great beings, above all Ruben Tilgner and Mama Delliq. Kudos to you, and to everyone else who stopped by, invited us for babecue or just was around at Eagleway4.

Change Date

Friday, March 27th, 2009

Hy y’all!

We just wanted to inform all of you nice people out here that our acoustic session at the Weingeist will be on APRIL 29, not as announced before on the first…anyway, it will be a Shortfuse & C-Liq acoustic set of about 45 minutes featuring the famous “L-Trilogy” along with some other tunes of our nice little band but also some cover songs we like to play every now and then.

All right, so see you at the Weingeist on April 29! Check by regularly for more up to date stuff!! And roq the hell out!
