Rob Kloet and Robert Jan
Stips are working on their
diaries!!

We are sorry that the re-
lease is slightly postponed,
but the Nits are touring
right now with their new
record and working on the
diary at the same time keeps
them really busy. You can
be sure that this will be a
great collectors item.

really fast, according to
our current preorders!

The Nits by JERMANN

Free Aung San Suu Kyi --

Jim Carrey makes his personal
youtube video to speak out
against one of the most brutal
military dictatorships in the
world. Burma has the largest
amount of child soldiers in
the world. Well over 50'000
children are recruted to the
army, starting as low as age
5. Over 3'000 villages have
been destroyed by the military
junta and its official leader
Aung Sun Su Kyi has been
under house arrest for way
too many years. Stop the
murders, stop this regime,
free Aung San now!

"Jede Note mit erotischer
Präzision gesetzt" (Nick Joyce,
Tagesanzeiger, anlässlich des
ersten Konzertes im Cabaret
Voltaire am 23.11.06)

"Vieles an der Genfer Gruppe
The Young Gods ist unge-
wöhnlich, und so ist es nichts
als gebührend, dass nun ein
Buch über die Band nicht eines
der üblichen Star Portraits
mit vielen Fotos und wenig
Inhalt geworden ist. Höchst
elegant kommt der TRUCE
Diaries-The Young Gods
im Querformat daher und ist
sehr schön aufgemacht, ohne
geschleckt zu wirken"
(Markus Ganz, NZZ)

"Ein akustisches Konzert
bietet ganz andere Mög-
lichkeiten: Die fragile Seite
unserer Musik kommt in
diesem intimen Rahmen
viel besser zur Geltung"
(Franz Treichler)

Neue Luzerner Zeitung (838 KB, PDF File, new window) Text-Version

"The Young Gods
modernised
rock in that they
negated it."
(Bänz Friedli)

"The best strategy
is to remain
independent as
a band or a musician,
and to own your
own music!"
(Franz Treichler)

.........................................

" J'aurais voulu être un artiste
Pour avoir le monde à refaire
Pour pouvoir être un anarchiste
Et vivre comme un millionnaire
Et vivre comme un millionnaire
J'aurais voulu être un artiste...
Pour pouvoir dire pourquoi j'existe. "

(Le blues du businessman)
