(edit: typos. Oh, and photocredits! To Erika Strengell, Kenneth Norrlin and band member instagrams. Remind us if we forgot someone!)
Last time we forgot to mention that we've recieved a little funding that will help us record the full-lenght Vinyl! what more can we say, we're happy that someone out there read our application and decided they'll give it a go..so Craneium Full-Lenght Vinyl, hopefully at the end of this year!
Speaking of vinyl, the split we did with the awesome 3rd Trip from Helsinki is finally in our hands, and we will start taking orders for them..right about NOW! As some of you may remember in the last blogupdate..(if anyone cared to read it?) the 12"split comes with a Craneium Patch and downloadcodes for our first album! nice huh! They will only be 7 euros, pretty nice if you ask me, even cheaper than we had originally planned, well all for you who wants to buy it, the cheaper the better right?
So here is finally the artwork, and correction from last time, the photo is taken by Joels father-in-law. So credits and thanks to Mauri Nygård.
it's in black n' white, and it's got that straight outta 60's gnarly feel to it, scanned from an old photo taken during that decade.
What more is up? Hopefully a release gig in Turku as well as in Helsinki where both bands on the split will play, more info on that later when it gets clearer.
Also we've been in contact with this cool bar in Stockholm called Club Nomad. Looks like we're gonna play there in a couple of months. Same here, more info for ya'll later on.
So, lets get to the minitour we played two weeks ago.
What can we say other than it was way over our expectations. Besides having the absolute time of our lives with our friends in the awesome band Shitboot, all the gigs went great and having Axel back on bass was a blast!
3 days of playing and partying and rocking the socks off people.
If you wanna see the bands and other stuff cought on photo from that weekend check out these 3 tags on instagram: #jointforces14 #craneium #shitboot
The one we remeber best was the first gig in Jakobstad. After starting the day with van problems and taking it from the to the dirty backroads of Vörå we got there in one piece. Around 22 still not so much going on, soundchecks done..but then all of a sudden BOOM, people starts flowing in through the door.
The other two bands played very well, thx to Gangrened who joined us besides Shitboot in Jakobstad.
As we took the stage about 00.00....we were told that there was at least 160 people that had showed up.We've never played for that much people on the same gig. We must say it felt very appreciating, and we are very thankful..as it says on our cassette: without your support we are nothing! So many many big thx and we can not put this in words big enough for how happy this made us.
During the show it felt like the people sang more of our songs than we did. People took our mics and sung, they spilled beer all over the place, moshing and falling in and over us on stage. It was cool! the stage was so small so we played on the floor as only amps and the drums fitted on stage..but it was more intimate and sweaty this way, just as we like it!
to accompany this, here are some pictures:
stopped for coffe and cigarrettes, shitboot & craneium.

Think there is some Harvestin' going on in this one.
hopefully you got some insight from our tour and are as exited as us about the new vinyl and the upcoming gigs!
The last gig in tampere was more private, hanging out with the guys in Vomitrip for an hour or so was nice, just som riffin' among friends. After that destination Turku.
Overall the tour was great and it couldnt have been any better, once again big thx to everyone and please do buy our mighty fine vinyl released this week!
Bye for now, more coming soon!
