Hello Boonxers,

Today we're celebrating 10 months of radio airplay. Our first single was "I wanna dance" (see link below). Of course this momentous anniversary asks for a celebration and what better way to celebrate than by launching another single. "Hey Jojo" was released last Tuesday and has been picked up by national radio. Compliments to those adorable radiopeople, giving clear proof of excellent taste. Thank you for your support.

But thet's not all. Next week our long awaited album will be on the shelves of your favourite recordshop! So make sure to pick up your copy as fast as you can. If you can't be bothered with a hard copy, our distributor "Rough Trade" has made the album conveniently available on the web! Search the official musicsites and you'll find us.

Dear friends,

Allow us to wish you all a happy and fruitful 2012. The release of our album is coming nearer (Feb 17th). To celebrate the new year and the release of "Slowpoke" we're organising a musical get together at "Het Volkshuis" in the Sleepstraat in Ghent.
We'll be playing the songs from our album and some covers, trying out our live-set for the very first time.
Needless to say you're all invited. See you there.

Video of the month

2011-12-10T01:44:00.000-08:00

Pete Noon is an exceptional guitar player, based in Maryland (USA). He's been involved in differrent projects since 1964 and is still going strong. We met Pete online, discovering his vast and - for guitarlovers - most interesting guitarcollection. The bulk of his collection consists of Fender Stratocasters (even a few very rare set neck strats), Telecasters and Gibson Les Pauls. He's also got some flying V's and ES models. He's also got about every amp ever made (i think).

Since moving to Maryland in the late nineties he has developed en intrest in Paul reed Smith guitars (PRS) since the factory is only 10 miles away from his home. He's currently a member of the PRS Signature Club and attends their annual Experience PRS show where he's gotten to meet folks like Al DiMeola, Buddy Guy, Carlos Santana, Dweezil Zappa, Mark Tremonti, and many others. Since retiring from his daytime job 4 years ago Pete has been spending his time writing and recording his own songs.

Pete's been enthusiastic about our music and has been so kind to feature "i wanna dance" as video of the month on his website (http://www.petenoon.com/videos.htm). We were surprised and honoured.

Please check out Pete's site: www.petenoon.com. (If you're into guitars, you won't believe your eyes.)

The last weeks...
