It’s been a pretty good year. We turned 10, so we let ourselves celebrate ;)
When it comes to releases, we began our 10th anniversary with an album specially prepared for this occasion – the EP „Memories In My Head”. It’s worth mentioning that „Forgotten Land” from this minialbum promoted the game „The Witcher 2” and reached 6th position on Polish Radio 3’s Top Chart. What else? Finally, „Second Life Syndrome” and „Rapid Eye Movement” were released on vinyl, and in September the 6-disc box „Reality Dream Trilogy” hit the stores. We gathered all the long and short tracks that had something to do with the trilogy for it. And last, but not least, Mariusz definitively finished his adventure with lunatic journeys through the underworld by releasing the new Lunatic Soul album - „Impressions”, which is an instrumental supplement to the black and white diptych.
And when it comes to concerts, during our „10th Anniversary Tour” we gave several shows in Europe ( including Romania for the first time for instance). In Poland we celebrated with some foreign guests, Paatos and The Pineapple Thief, setting some new attendance records. Almost 1500 people showed up for the gig in Warsaw’s Stodola club, which left us literally open-mouthed. In the summer, except for some foreign shows, we presented our music to half a milion people at Przystanek Woodstock open-air festival. We were scared almost shitless, but maybe it wasn’t so bad since a DVD release from this gig is planned. In autumn we went back to the clubs – this time to the places where we hadn’t been much or never (We played in Portugal, among others.) We also swam in the sea. In October. So it was! :)
And now, at the very end of the year, having got back from the nearer and further journeys, we would like to thank everybody for this year. Especially our tour crew, our fans, friends and all those who came to our concerts and bought our albums. Thank you for your support and being with us all these years. We hope that you’ll stay with us another ten years or more. In January we’re starting work on our fifth album. We will inform you about it on our website, in a specially prepared section. Remember about all those end-of-year the-best-of-2011’s – we will be really pleased if you mention us in yours :)
And by the way, we’d like to wish a Merry and Peaceful Christmas and a Happy New Year to everybody at the riverside of the same river or a different one! See you soon!
