2008 is over!!

Another year has passed and it was a year that we are quite happy with, since it spawned both our best cd so far and also a kick ass live DVD.

We also performed some fun gigs and made some new contacts. Hopefully we will crank it up and kick some more live ass in 2009 for ya, just stay tuned.

We wish you all the best and a happy new year, and remember, be nice to each other.

Here´s the year lists from the boys..

BEST MOMENT: When i realised that the old cliche "when there´s a will, there´s a way" is actually true to a large extent

WORST MOMENT: When i realised that i have so many ghosts and issues that i need to adress

IDIOTIC THING: If i put aside humanity in general? The so called "Ipred Law" that gives more power to record companies and movie companies than the police have. Even if i never downloaded one thing in my life, i would still feel the same way. Its a joke to say the least.

HERO: Besides Richard Dawkins who is one of the most awake people on the planet, im also kind of proud of myself actually. 2008 was a year when i dropped such bad habits as smoking, a long dysfunctional relationship and started to put my body in shape.

We will do a short but sweet set of 6 or so songs from "The Greatest Enemy" and perhaps an older M.O.B classic might find its way in there also! :-p How do you get there? Check HERE!
