Anna Ternheim is composing the music for a new play entitled "Storstadsljus" ("Big city lights") which will premiere on march 14 (in Göteborg, I believe). Otherwise, look for her to release her latest album "Separation road" in the US this spring with tourdates to follow.

Tiger Lou reports that his excellent album "The loyal" has been licensed to Eyeball Records for a US release next February. The new edition will sport fresh coverart and the song "Pilots" instead of "All I have" because, as Rasmus Kellmerman himself puts it, "'All I Have' is a track that should not have been on the album in the first place. I wrote it right after the first album and it's whole persona is unfitting for an album as 'The Loyal'. So, when one is given the opportunity to correct ones past mistakes – one should embrace that opportunity to the fullest."
