MUSICIAN NEWS OCTOBER 08 The small tour of Germany went more or less according to ze plan. Most interesting venue must have been the FFUS wagon
in Stuttgart. This was an old train coach that we literally shook with noise so it felt like it was back on the train tracks and
running out of control with drunk driver and no brakes!
The gig at Silke Arp-Bricht , Hannover was filmed...
still waiting for a copy. It was great to play opposite the reptilian splendour of Evil Moisture.
Fckn' Bstrds also played. They were, like
always.... absolute fucking bastards. There were a couple of loudness complaints from neighbours to Salon
Bruit in Berlin. This was during our special "quiet" set that we had rehearsed in
order to fit in with the strict loudness policy that they have to apply. Oh well.... we really did try to keep it down, guys! The best gig we played was in Galerie Wallywoods
, Berlin. This was swiftly followed by a TERRIBLE gig in Namur, Belgium. My electronics refused to function and it left Boban
and Leon to slowly drown in confusion.. Ouch! Our unholy thanks go out to Michael Bruns, Stefan Roig, Peter Minimamedia, Man Manly, Seamus from Salon Bruit, Markus Schwill and David Jeans Raxinasky for helping us with bookings. While in Berlin we recorded some tracks at Headcleaner
studio with my pal Basti. There appears to be an album's worth of truly hideous torture in the can.

Want more? Then take this ...
Had enough? Well..take this ...
FEBRUARY 07 Just back from a small but intense tour of Catalunya. I went first with my friend
We will never forget the first concert in Barcelona with a front row public that started crawling around on the floor on
top of each other during our performance. It sure felt like the right response at the time! Main organizer for all this was Sam Roig from Big help also came from Kike (check out his band
The Manresa based band Big bear hugs to: Sam, Sabina, Kike, Dimoni, Arnau, Pau, Dani Venezuela, David, Marga, Juan Palau and the guy who said he was offended with our show and that i smelt bad! 
AUGUST 06 Harakiri sisters were
invited to play at the Exit Music
Festival in Novi Sad, Serbia.
It turned out to be a fantastic experience for us...it's a 4 day long
festival held on the grounds of a huge medieval castle. There were something
like 10 stages going on simultaneously. We played on day 2 and it went
well. We'd spent the 3 previous days and nights writing the one long
song that for some reason seemed to be a good idea at the time. It did
mean however that i'd work on the track until falling asleep, then Junko
would take over...then she would sleep..and i would carry on. We seemed
to pull it off, though! Highlights of the festival were a manic gig from Harakiri sisters kiss the feet of the people who made this possible
for us: Boban, Biljana, Tamara, Maia, Papun, Mamun.
Harakiri sisters suck the toes of our new friends: Marko, Nina, Pedja,
Zexon, Chomi's giant brother and so many others..all with wierd names
that we'll never remember!
Played a solo gig in JUNE 06 The solo project is moving forwards...The French label Solitude records will be releasing the CD which will be titled “An Evening With...” I’m still developing the 3 simultaneous guitar thing. There’s been a gig in OCCI which utilized the services of 2 passing Japanese tourists. I’ll post some photos if the people who took them feel like sending them on.Harakiri sisters are busy writing material for the forthcoming album. We seem to drift together every few weeks and work for a couple of days, then go off and play with other groups. A self imposed deadline was necessary! We plan to have the album finished by this autumn. We played a couple of gigs in Amsterdam: Club Tokyo, Winston Kingdom and Subacultcha, Bitterzoet. Played guitar on some tracks for Jina Sumedi’s latest movie soundtrack. She said it was almost like a soft porn movie. One day i’ll graduate up to playing wah wah for hardcore porn!FEBRUARY 06 Plastered are back from a 15-Date tour of Belgium, France and Spain... here's a little something for the organizers and fans:

Best
stage was in Tubize: we performed in a
barn with candles for light, surrounded by manikins and an invisible
public!
