Hi people!
Long time since anything new came up here, its time to change all that.
As most people find themselves in bellsgoclang-greetsandsweets time of the year, WE just finished up a session in the studio, which came out great. Cant really say more about it, but some of you`ll soon find out! After some 70-80 shows since fall 04 with shortcuts to France, Germany, UK, Sweden, Denmark and India WE is ready to tour mainland Europe next year. WE have signed Smugglers for an april release in GAS next year, and finally WE is releasing Smugglers as a double 12″ gatefold with a bonustrack. This will be available outside GAS as well, and in Norway thruu our own label, Nun Music. A collectors item for sure!
So when 2006 hit the shelves, be sure to check back here for frequent updates, tourdates, new releases and more.
By the way, Classic Rock gave Smugglers a rave 8/10 review in the Dec. issue, be sure to check out the Jan. 06 issue, cause WE threw in a track from Smugglers on the sampler attached to it. WE sincerely hope Smugglers will hit UK early next year as well. U.S is also in sight, more info on that later. SXSW?
WE`ve also heard were on rotation in South Africa, who knows, WE might go there as well!
WE wish you a few staggering off days, see you all next year…cause rock `n` roll aint no joke, its cosmic..
Krisvaag, WE

Due to faults in printingmatters and chaos at the pressingplant in Denmark, Kick Music together with Nun Music (WEs label) chose yesterday to force back all copies on the danish marked and reschedule the release of Smugglers until late September. WE will return upcoming autumn with a new single, video and several shows in October.
“It doesnt come as a surprise to us, most pressingplant workers are infected with glue and other chemicals, i am sure danes aint no exception”, Krisvaag comments. “Two releasedates of the same album in the same country means twice as many shows”, Don added.
More news on this will follow as we get it here at werock.org
