The end of a year, the beginning of another one…

It has been a year already since we started this special Ceremony & Jubilation, to celebrate with you everything that happened in those last 5 years. The good times and the bad times. The laughing and the crying.

Going back through all those memories was quite special for me. It was all so long ago, yet it still feels so close to all of us. To live them all over with you, or to share them for the first time with you, making you an important part of each and every one of these moments.

We often say that nothing would be the same without you. And this has never been so true.

We are starting another year today, another anniversary. We could consider that a year has just finished. Or simply say that the journey is going on, and on, and on! With the band on tour, an album that has recently been released in Japan and that will be released in other places in the world pretty soon, I like to think that it’s only the beginning!!!!

What was your favorite moment last year??? What did you enjoy most? Let us know… And let’s share the joy all over again!

Make sure to follow everything that is going on!
Check out the band’s website, their Facebook, and their Twitter, and for even more exclusive stuff, join the Secret Family Cult Club, the band’s fan club.

See you soon!!!

Indonesia Tour 2008 – June 4th, Jakarta

The band only had one show set in Jakarta. They headed over there right from Tokyo, after their tour in Japan.

TV interview in the morning, press conference in the afternoon, and TV performance on which they performed ”Open Your Eyes”!!! It was pretty special to be on a TV set where you couldn’t understand a word of what was said. Of course, when they were addressing the band members themselves, they spoke English, but besides that, everything was in Indonesian…! But people seemed to have a very good time! It was also the band’s first live appearance on TV… and people seemed to enjoy it very much, as you’ll see in the video!!!! As we were walking in the streets and shopping in the following days, people would recognize the band, and were all excited to tell us they had seen us on TV… 🙂

And then, radio interview. Just how busy can a day get??? lol! And all of this, before the show itself… 😉

And this is how the tour ended… 🙂

Japan Tour 2008 – May 29th, Nagoya

We were still high and excited about everything that happened the previous nights at the shows in Osaka and Tokyo. Nagoya was the last “official” show on this short Japanese Tour – we planned to do another show on our own in a small café the day after. That other show at the café wasn’t less important than the others, it’s just that we had arranged it all by ourselves, through friends, in a small venue, where it would be more intimate. So we thought. We never imagined that some people would have to listen from outside the café because it was already was over capacity… lol!

So Nagoya was somewhat the last show of the tour for us. And we were really excited about it… And it was long backstage. It felt like forever. But there were some technical problems, they said. So we needed to postpone the show a little more. The staff was restless. They were running around everywhere. They were screaming. Something was going on, but we didn’t know what. Then a friend and dear brother who was helping us came to us, telling us in a panic that the show was cancelled. But it couldn’t be. We didn’t hear about this at all. Not a word from the promoters or anything. And then they came. The show was really cancelled. It was happening. And there was nothing that we could do. Continue Reading
