Recording new material (Updated 01-03-2010) |
|
In May 2008, A New Dawn released it’s debut album “Falling From Grace”. A period of great turbulence followed. We played numerous shows to promote the album and received great response from the listeners. On the other hand, the band encountered some changes in its line-up. Now, we figured it to be time to release new material to show what the band stands for at this moment in its career.
Through this news-item, we will keep you updated on what's happening with the recordings. We will add pictures soon, so you will get a hint on what we are doing and have been. Stay tuned!
On February 7th, our sound-guru Hans van de Brink recorded Rik Bruineman’s drum tracks for the three songs that will be featured on the upcoming e.p. With the recording of the drum tracks, it immediately became evident that Rik’s style in drumming pushes A New Dawn’s sound in a somewhat more progressive direction. Not to worry: the music still sounds like A New Dawn…… with a twist.
February 26th, we started recording the first guitar tracks. Soon, all guitar tracks will be finished and we will be able to present you a giant wall of sound. About half of the guitar tracks have been recorded so far, so the foundations for this wall of sound have been built.
On the last day of the month, February 28th, Jamila recorded the first vocal tracks. Pieces are now falling into place and the songs are really starting to take shape. This week more vocal tracks will be recorded, so it's going to be quite busy for everybody. Stay tuned for more updates! |
Hello everyone,
We want to welcome you to our new website. Here and there we still have some problems, but this will be fixed soon. We hope you like it.
Last friday we played at 'Total Music' in Schiedam where we celebrated our 100th gig. It was great to see so many familiar faces. This was the evening when we told everyone that Michiel is going to leave us for 6 months to study in America. We wish him all the best and we hope that they will treat our 'handsome boy' well.
We had a couple of special guests playing with us that evening and we want to thank them for everything:
Nienke (vocals), Joop (keyboard), Natascha (1st singer of AND), Norbert (guitar) and Mike (growls/grunts and them some).
Norbert and Mike are the ones who will temporarily replace Michiel when he's gone to the US. More about them will be put online soon.
As was told on stage we also want to thank the people who are always there for us:
Mirjam (merchandise), Hans (sound), Dennis (light), Kennard (sound), Maurits (sound), Marcel (guitar roadie), Nicole (make-up artist) and of course Egbert for making our new site.
And of course we want to thank all of you who are supporting us and keep cheering us on. We love you all for that and we hope that we will keep seeing eachother for the next 100 gigs to come and many, many more.
We had a very good evening and we hope you did too.
Last saturday we played at 'The Underground' in Lelystad. We played with 'Slipstream' and 'Chiraw'. It was a great evening and our last gig of 2009.
For now there aren't a lot of gigs planned because we are busy making a new EP, get the boys in shape to replace Michiel, writing new material for our 2nd album wich is planned to be released in the fall of 2010. A lot of more stuff is happening, but we will keep you posted on that.
So please keep checking our site, leave a comment in our new guestbook and we will see eachother again soon. |
