Those who made the trek down to Slimelight for the mid-club Straftanz gig might have noticed all members of RBN in attendance. Those with eagle-eyes might have noticed Kai drag Steve and myself on to join in the shouty stuff on the eponymous track "Straftanz". Needless to say, being a version neither Steve nor myself had heard before, it could have gone a wee bit south.
As I had to go more or less straight into work after the set I did a bit of a runner; as much of a runner as it is possible to do with a double tier ketboard stand under my arm anyway..
However, onwards and upwards, as they say. Not long until RBN do their own thing with Suicide Commando, another band RBN haven't supported before. There aren't many left! ;-)
Hopefully we'll see you guys down there on 29th Nov.

Waaaaaaa!
We need to opdate the band website (it's been over a year, FFS!) but I haven't a clue as to the details.
Things have been happening, I assure you.
Like what?
Weeeeell, for one, it looks like we may not be calling the album "Higher Ground" after all.
For another, we've thought about what we want to put on the album (available in a slightly longer time-span than the usual "soon")...
So far, various rough versions of "Machine Code" have been aired at Slimelight and thus far, the dancefloor has remained bopping. This is a good sign. I thought "Sie Rennt" was more or less finished, but there was something just not right if you know that feeling, and then we found a much better bass sound. So now it's much less finished than it was. Hah. Just typical.
Currently, We're working on stuff with the working titles of "City Lights" and "Integrity".
We'll come back to "Radio Angels" in a bit, and maybe "In Motion", "Someone Else" and "Nachdenken" as well. We have 3 other very promising numbers in varying stages of completion which need final titles.
Oh, also "Endless" and "Higher Ground (vox)" may get a re-structure for a vocal fit or a tweak for other reasons.
Which will leave us with "Empires And Dance", "Visions In Blue" and "Two Lines Deep".
I guess everyone knows these live by now (if you can read this) and simply put, the latter pair need remixing and the former needs vox. Done.
Anything not making the final selection of 12 will be available for compilations I guess.
That's one Helluva lot of work to be getting on with, by anyone's standards, far less our own!
Personally, I am determined that we shall be playing live this year in the UK.
European plans are already afoot.
