but hey, if there's someone reading this we thought we could make a couple of updates and stuff. since last we've gotten hold of some Craneium patches, they sell for 3€/piece, really cool to put on your jackets n such.

What other news do we have, lets see, we had our first gig this year at Portti in our hometown of Turku, Finland. The gig went well and the Craneium machinery is up and running! We played togehther with the bands Mary & The Dead and Rama Lama Fa Fa Fa, both very cool bands, I suggest you check them out! It was also very nice to see so many people come out and listen to the bands, we were really suprised by all the people who showed up, we salute you!
we were filming the show, but we forgot to hand over the Zoom to our friends when we went on stage, damn*#"°!! hmm, pic instead: Courtesy of Mr. M.Ferarri and Mr. A.Österlund
The whole band going up in smoke!
mr. bassplayer and guitarman doing some fuzzrocking!
We are also very very exited about our next release, some of you may have allready seen what it's about. VINYL, that's right VINYL!
The vinyl will be released in about a week, it's a 12" split with the band 3rd Trip from Helsinki, they play some Fu Manhu:ish desert rock and they do it well, we are honored that they contacted us to play on the split with them. The Split will go for about 10€/piece, since we were thinking that they could include a Craneium patch aswell, that's a sweet deal if you ask me!
Anyways, the song is called "The Gnome" and it's heavy as F@*k! Really gnarly and full of fuzzy madness, even a little line from the film "satans sadist" made its way onto it. We've got a testpressing and it sounds niiice, hearing your own work/band on vinyl is something extra, fantastic, the boyhood dream! The album artwork will be posted later, but it features an old photo taken by the drummers father in the 60s if I remember it correct. More on that later!
Pic of the test pressing vinyl!

This will be very cool, we think, we've had some problems in getting the gigs, since we couldn't move the dates. That is because our bassplayer is flying in from sweden where he is studying abroad this year. But what the hell, we've got 3 gigs and we always make it count where ever we play and eventhoug the bartender would be the only one there. But most of all it will be mighty fine to play with Axel again, our last gig with him vas in june of 2013! we are happy he's joining us! very happy.
oh, the tour is called JOINT FORCES, so look out osthrobothnia, we're coming your way!
Keep your eyes open for the vinyl release, contact us on FB if you're interessted in it.
over and out// Craneium
