Live EP out in October

Some pieces of news from the Flunk camp:

The in-studio live session for KEXP in Seattle will be released as a digital EP on October 9th. This is thanks to the nice people at KEXP. The four track acoustic EP is out on Beatservice Records, and will probably be an iTunes exclusive release – at least initially.
The tracklisting:
1. See You (THE Depeche Mode cover)
2. The Koolest Smile
3. Play
4. Kemikal Girl
We will upload the tracks on the Flunk MySpace site very soon!
Read more at the Beatservice website.

Also, our debut album, For Sleepyheads Only (original Beatservice version), has been re-released in the US. It’s slightly different from the Guidance Recordings version released 2002. More at the Beatservice website.

Concerning our festival appearance in Istanbul next weekend (the Chill-Out Festival 2006 on Sunday September 10), it’s still on. Hopefully the recent bombings in Istanbul and other tourist locations have quitened down by then…

Going places

Just a word or two from up north: Received a review of our show at Chop Suey in Seattle this week, published by webzine Glide Magazine.
Some more reading while you wait for more news on the new album in progress: Read this Guardian interview with Brian Eno(he produced the new Paul Simon album out this week), where he tells about the ‘politics’ of recording, the chemistry you need – quite interesting and very true! While you’re at it – check out The Observer reporter Paul Morley‘s piece on the Manchester and Liverpool music scenes following the punk revolution of summer 1976. They were all there – from Morrissey of The Smiths to Frankie Goes To Hollywood and Joy Division…
Oh, and do keep an eye on our MySpace site, we might soon upload one or two live recordings from the US shows.

Airport situation

The show at Chop Suey last night was great, almost full house and a bit like ‘coming home’ playing for old friends, well, that kind of vibe. Now we’re off from Seattle, though. Hope to be back when the next album is out.
Right now we’re at Seattle Airport waiting for the flight to San Francisco. Should be great too!

Here are some Flunk people outside radio station KEXP in Seattle this afternoon. We did four tracks live in the studio, and the recordings will be put out as a podcast soon on KEXP’s site.
We did Your Koolest Smile, Play, Kemikal Girl and a beautiful stripped down version of Depeche Modes See You.
Now we’re off to soundcheck at Chop Suey…

Right here, right now

Just a photo proof that we’re in Seattle, and doing well (on the right you see Anja and Jo going into yet another guitar shop), on the left Jo, drummer Erik and Anja down by the water…
Arrived yesterday, did an interview for the show Fusion today, and getting ready for the gig at Chop Suey tomorrow night!
We love the city, by the way!
