Dear Stereo Total-friends,

Sorry that we didn't write new news since months.
We were always traveling like gypsies and playing here and there and there also. What happened in between?

We put out a single in Spanish called "Plastico" (Elefant Records) and had the pleasure to try out the new songs on our Mexican tour.
Our Best-of "Grandes Exitos" just came out on the Mexican-label "Silicon Carne".

Our no-budget music-video "Ich bin der Stricherjunge" (watch it on youtube.com here) directed by Simgil won the short-movie-prize in the Oberhausen-festival. It was a big surprise for us, because it is a super 8, in which gay-hustlers are smoking all the time, and that is now forbidden everywhere (super 8 and smoking). If you wanna smoke, wear a smoking!

Because of our "Plastico"-single, we were invited to play on an open-air Hispanic-party in Brooklyn New York, but the weather went bad and it was raining like in films noirs from the 60ies, and so the event took place in an incredible club called "Love", in which a part of the audience loved us so much that it was standing all the time beside us on stage. So finally we got a feeling of what a big band would be!

Next plans are summer-festivals. See the tour-dates here. At the 9th of August we will have the pleasure to play twice at the gaypride in Reykjavik (Iceland). In the same month we will go back to Australia and play for the first time in New Zealand.

Meanwhile, we are writing new songs for a new Stereo Total-album, music for a Japanese Underground- Porno- movie and preparing with special guests a show about the great Czech movie "The Daisies" ("Tausendschönchen").

On our website, we've got a new photo-novel about our last European tour with our friend Hawnay Troof from Auckland California on our website here. The pictures were taken with shitty digital cameras, it's a wonder that they look good.

Friendly yours,
Françoise and Brezel
