Attn Rhein/Main area - that means you: Frankfurt, Wiesbaden, Darmstadt, Mainz - we are playing at the awesome Phono Pop Festival in Rüsselsheim this weekend. That's your backyard! We hope to see you there!
And that's not all. First, we play the always great Appletree Garden Festival to close things off in Aachen. Oh, how we love Germany!

Here's another video from China, we recorded in an amazing warehouse in Shanghai with the talented Charles & Andy at DaBaoGe (打包歌). Inspired by Vincent Moon these guys are setting up their own take-away shows in the beautiful and overwhelming city of Shanghai. We chose to perform our brand new song 'The Aftermath' (which we actually finished recording in Beijing earlier that week). How do you guys like it?
Today a lovely little iPhone game was released called Sr. Mistu. This poor, blind old fellow ran out of olives and could need some help finding his way through this rough world. And that's where you and his little guide dog Gaido come in.
While you're playing you can enjoy a special, extended version of our song 'Dandelion'.
The game was made by the awesome Marc Sallent and hand-drawn by Cinta Vidal. Support these artist and download this great game HERE.
Here are the two clips of our performance at the Dutch TV show 'De Wereld Draait Door'. We are overwhelmed by all the sweet and positive reactions we received. The year couldn't have started any better for us.
On top of that our two shows last weekend at Eurosonic / Noorderslag, Europe's biggest showcase festival, were among the best we ever played. And if that wasn't enough, as of this week we are part of the more then impressive roster of the best agent in Holland: Belmont Bookings.
2011, here we come!
Full song: 'Reverence for Fallen Trees'
Interview and 1 minute version of 'Fragile Meadow'
Tonight we'll perform our track 'Fragile Meadow' live in the Dutch television show De Wereld Draait Door. Dutch fans can tune in at 19:30 on NL3, our foreign friends will have to wait a little while till we post the clip here. For now, enjoy the video of Fragile Meadow we shot in Canada this summer.
After some well deserved time off in December we're shifting into full gear for 2011. You won't believe all the exciting stuff we have in store for you guys. More on that in good time of course. First stop is Europes biggest showcase/conference festival Eurosonic. We've set up no less then three great gigs during Friday the 13th in our hometown Groningen. On Saturday you can catch us at Noorderslag, where you'll see the top of the bill of Dutch artists. Needless to say we're very proud to be selected for these two great festivals and hope to see you there!
