28. September 2011 Time for the clubs again

Howdy folks

Well, a long and great summer is over (at least in Switzerland). We did some amazing & stunning shows in Switzerland, Germany and Italy. So thanks to everyone for showing up without you it wouldn't be the same !
So in fall and winter we're gonna do club shows in Switzerland and Italy. It seems like Italy is our new love or we're the love of Italy... anyway... Bunga bunga !

During the summer shows we sold almost all the shirts we got, so we did a new one. And of course... an Italian guy did the amazing graphic job. Grazie mille !

See you on the road.

04.05.2011 NEW RECORD OUT IN SWITZERLAND

We are very glad to announce that our brandnew record "RENEGADE" is now available.
At least in Switzerland and on several online shops (such as iTunes, etc).

We never worked that hard on new songs so far and it was worth it !
Therefore we believe that's the best stuff we ever wrote and that's what's all about, right?!

After a few years of assessment we are proud to announce that Ross the red is now a full member of the band. Welcome on board fellow. So there were lots of possibilities to play around in the studio. What's better than three guitar players? Well, maybe four ! :-) Anyway, as you're gonna hear there are lots of guitar tracks on the new record. But it not only about the CD (and of course vinyl), we did a DVD as well. And you'll get it for free... as long as you buy the CD! Not bad. The DVD is 150% unplugged; as unplugged as unplugged can be. We grabbed our acoustic instruments (guitar, banjo, mando, accordion, wahsboard), set up in and old attic, put a couple of mics in the room and then we played and got filmed by 4 cams. It's just pure music and good fun.

Well... we are very happy and so are you. At least we hope so.
By the way we did some new merchandise. Shopping is fun, don't forget that.

And that's how the DVD is gonna look like:

See each other on the road !

09. September 2010 Update

Hello everybody

Long time no news entry, sorry for that. We are a lazy bunch of cowboys. Well, not that lazy at all but nowdays we share most of the news on our facebook site. Because it's very easy to handle and it's fun to upload pictures right in the same minute you took it.

During the summer we played many nice shows most of them in Switzerland and Italy.
Many people asked what our plans are for the rest of the year.
In October and November we gonna play two mini tours in Czech Reublic and Belgium/Holland.
For the cold and snowy Swiss wintertime we thought about to do something special for our fans in our homeland.
This special thing is called the "Boots & Hat Bluegrass Tour". Means we leave the electric guitars and the amps at home and we will play just with acoustic instruments such as Mandoline, Banjo, Washboard, Guitar. We think it's gonna be hell of a good time. There will be a guest-musician who joins us on this tour. More about that later on...

Besides that we work hard on writing new stuff. If the stuff is good enough, we gonna hit the studio in February.
We'll see....

All the best cowboys & cowgirls and see eachother at a show.
Ride on
