long time no hear. That does either mean we have been very busy writing songs for the next album or we have been enjoing some free time. Well, we have been and still are busy writing songs for the next album and are now preparing for some summer holidays.
Let me tell you, the new songs sound incredible, last weeks rehearsals left us sitting afterwards with some beers and some good shots of Four Roses and a bright smile on our faces. There’s some real heavy stuff coming your way.
Check out some private pictures from this sessions @ our Facebook site:

26.11.2010 – Düsseldorf – Stahlwerk
27.11.2010 – Albstadt/Laufen – “Marder Festival”

More shows to come…

That’s it for now, enjoy your summer days, festivals, barbeques or just yourselves!

Rock hard & ride free

Hi dudes,

the tour is over and after some days of sleep and rest we say THANK YOU SO MUCH to everybody involved.
We had a fantastic tour and especially a fantastic last week with amazing shows in Bochum, Munich, the Rockfabrik in Ludwigsburg, the Rock Temple in Kerkrade and last but not least, two neckbreaking and “intense to the max” shows in Pilzen and Kurim.

The overall atmosphere on the shows left us almost speechless, almost every night!!! Thanks a lot to everybody who showed up, each and everyone of you made each night a night to remember.

!! VIVA LA SWABIA !!

after we had been lost (almost) in Norway, we had a great show in Copenhagen, Denmark. Felt good to be back at “The Rock” and the beautiful city of Copenhagen itself. Mange Tak! Back in good old Germany, we had a superb show in Olsberg and are right now enjoying our time in the “Matrix” in Bochum waiting for soundcheck and – of course – the show tonight.

Stay tuned, dudes!

Dear friends and fans,

due to bad weather conditions our bus crashed this morning and we will be unable to get to Bergen today in time to do the show. We are really sorry for this but – of course – from a different point of view, we are really lucky to be safe and well. [...]]]>

Expect the unexpected, but this is Dieter (drums) of Brainstorm! Yes, after a pretty cool show at the K17 and a really good after-show-party at the Halford in Berlin, we travelled for more than 2 days now to Oslo! After a terrible night somewhere lost in Sweden, we now have finally arrived… and it’s probably the worst weather you can have over here: raining, dark and f*#king cold outside!
But anyway, we’re here backstage at the “John Dee” and waiting for soundcheck.
Let’s see how our Norwegian fans will react on our new songs, ha!
Anyway… tomorrow we’ll be in Bergen (…still Norway )  and also there… we expect nothing but the best!

Cheers

Dieter (…the sleeper)

Leider haben sich an den ersten 3 Tagen der Europa Tour von Primal Fear & Brainstorm Backstage Sachen ereignet, die uns dazu zwangen eine weitere Zusammenarbeit mit Jaded Heart zu beenden und dies einstimmig vom Tourmanager, Primal Fear, Brainstorm & der Tourcrew.
Wurde die Entschuldigung von JH über ihr Backstageverhalten nach dem ersten Tourtag noch angenommen, gab es am dritten Tourtag leider nur eine Entscheidung…….

Zu den Vorwürfen, die jetzt aus dem JH Lager kommen nimmt Tourmanager Arne Lakenmacher Stellung:

Weniger Spielzeit als zugesichert
Der Tourrider war vor Tourbeginn allen verantwortlichen Personen bekannt. Für Kritik an den Spielzeiten wäre nach Kenntnisnahme jederzeit Gelegenheit gewesen.

Keine Garderobe
Barcelona: Backtagebereich mit Stühlen, Tischen im Vorraum
Madrid: Es stand eine Gemeinschaftsgarderobe (der größte Raum) für alle drei Bands zur Verfügung
Villaba: Raum gegenüber des Caterings stand vollständig der BandJH zur Verfügung
Es durften jederzeit die zur Verfügung stehenden Duschen genutzt werde. Bei Vorhandensein von nur einer einzigen Dusche (z. B. lediglich in der P. F. Garderobe) würde zu keinem Zeitpunkt der Zugang verwährt. Es gab noch nicht einmal vom T.M vorgegebene Duschzeiten.

Kein Catering
Für J. H. stand jederzeit angemessenes Catering zur Verfügung. Jede das Catering betreffende Problematik wurde sofort vom Tourmanager beseitigt.

Vor Einlass auf der Bühne
In Barcelona und Villaba wurden die Zeiten im Tourrider 100% eingehalten. In Madrid gab es einen frühen Disco Curfew des spanischen Veranstalters und deswegen musste die Band fünf Minuten NACH Einlass auf die Bühne.

Mit JH wurde jederzeit ein respektvoller Umgang aller Tourmitglieder gegenüber gepflegt – trotz der Vorkommnisse. Wir nehmen lediglich zu den an uns gerichteten Vorwürfen Stellung, wollen aber nicht zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt auf das Backstageverhalten von Jaded Heart, im Interesse aller Beteiligten eingehen.

the tour is going very well so far! We have a great time together and enjoy every second on stage and backstage.
It is a big honour, especially for me, to play in Italy; the country of my origin. We had a delicious pasta with great red vino and a strong espresso right in front of the “duomo milano”! Very hard job touring with BRAINSTORM

Talkin’ about the shows: Spain, France and Italy have been so great to us! Thanks to all the fans that made each night a special night so far… Next stations are: Switzerland and Germany.

Watch out for more news… soon!

!! MANY GREETZ from Milano and TAKE CARE !!
