FEBRUARY UK TOUR CANCELLED

we are extremely sorry but we have to cancel our february uk tour due to technical and logistical problems. the show in munich on feb 9th will not be affected though.

the munich show will be our last one this year. we are going to take a couple of months break from touring in order to work on new material. we toured with pretty much the same live set for more than 2 years now and were so busy with all the organisational stuff that comes along with booking tours that we could hardly spend any time on the work that has been the actual reason for us to making music: writing new songs.

although we already miss being on the road now we’re looking forward to this creative time and will be back with a whole lotta touring next year.

please buy our debut single which is going to come out on 15th february. we are very proud of it and think it sums up the very exciting last couple of months pretty well.

cheers from munich,
maria and nick
