Moonbabies at CMJ ´09

Moonbabies @ Crash Mansion, NYC Oct ´09

After some 3+ weeks in bed with most possibly the horrible swineflu we're feeling better and ready to go back to writing and recording our new album. So Yes, last month we flew over the atlantic for our first gigs in the US in 9 years - apart for playing at Eric & Shannon's fantastic wedding in Orlando in Januari! Thanks to all the people who came and supported us at the Brooklyn Vegan party at Pianos on Ludlow Street, at the exclusive Norwood Club and the rough Crash Mansion and last minute gig at South Street Seaport Midnight show. We had a really good time, met a lot of wonderful new friends and also got time to dwell around Manhattan for some lovely days. Special thanks to Henrik, Per, Bill, Holger, Shumai, Eric, Shannon & Rafael for making it a great CMJ experience. Looking forward coming to back to the US in the near future touring with our full set-up and a new album in our backs. Keep you updated!
Best, Ola

NYC!

Hey! We've just temporarily moved back to sunny sweden just to get things down - recordings mostly. The album is still in the state of "whatever happens, happens" and "let's scrap this whole idea" and "wow, this is the best we've ever done, For real!". It may be the hardest ever album to do, which is just what we need at this point. But firstly we need to go to NYC in some weeks and perform at the CMJ festival! First US shows for us since a long time ago. Back then we had just released "June and Novas" and were playing lots of shows in the Northwest - Seattle mostly - which was the homebase for our label back then. Although like in a blur, I remember that the tour went really good and the people were treating us very very lovingly.

So we are doing these shows, and I hope to see some of you there, although showcases are spectacles and you need to buy an expensive badge and all - we'll promise to give you a real treat! And if you come by, promise to come up and say hello. Tschüss! / Ola

The dates:

Thu 22th OCT EXMS/CMJ Showcase
@ Norwood Club, 10.30 pm

Fri 23th OCT CM Showcase
@ Crash Mansion, 8.30 pm

Bye Friedrichshain!

So Goodbye Friedrichshain for now. We'll see you next year!
We just packed our stuff and moved to Kreuzberg, which isn't very far but pretty different from our old home. Right now we still have a couple of months to spend in Berlin, and then for the remaining parts of this year we'll be somewhere in Sweden putting the last finishing touches to the new album.

What can I tell you that I haven't said before? The progress on the album is really good. Working as a duo, recording and playing everything ourselves is time taking, but i'm very confident that we have our best album so far in the works.

So how does it sound? Well, It's very emotional yet very bouncy and light and lush, still heavy and... honestly, it's very, very hard to describe. Some songs are dramaticly different from our past records, but it all have a lot of the moonbabies signatures written all over it. It's just new and fresh you see? Confusing. Yes.
So Whatcha talking bout everyone?
Yours // Ola
