Our Gig at the Kulturm in Ludwigshafen today (August 13th, 2010) had to be cancelled due to (pick one):
a) Health reasons.
b) Personal Reasons.
c) Technical Problems.
d) Musical inability.
e) Meteor showers.

We say sorry to everybody who planned to turn up tonight.
We’ll keep you updated about new gig dates here and thru the Popistan Standard Newsletter.

As promised quite some time ago, all people that did buy the Deluxe Phantome Fever will receive some xtra-goodies.

So here is goodie number one for all you supernice people.

We went into our attic and had a look around. This is what we found:

The Incredible Raw Power of Being Nice.

The Incredible Raw Power of Being Nice by Clean

It is a compilation of unreleased things we did between 2002 and 2006.
17 Songs mainly recorded in my livingroom, caringly restored, partly redone and mastered at Chapel in Ludwigshafen.

You can have a listen over here.

If you have the Deluxe version, open your Popistani passport and rush here.

So if you’d like to have that one, there is only one way to get it: here

Many (including ourselves) thought that this thing will never see the light of day, our own little chinese democracy, but finally here it is:

‘The Phantom Fever’ Album.

It took quite some time to record, but it took even longer to release it.

Here are the details:

14 smashing raw high octane pop ditties, with melody, remarkable vocallines, heaps of synths and cutting guitars, that will do more harm to your memories of the eighties than Stock, Aitken and Waterman ever did…
Approx. running time close to one hour.
All composed by David and Me.
But the nicest detail of them all: We are giving it away for free!

(more…)

Just a quick tour round our home:

The Chapel.

Have a look around and see where we spend our evenings and weekends and have an occasional beer or two.

Oh Happy Day!

Is there a better day to relaunch a more or less dead website than Easter Sunday?
Maybe – Maybe not.

First i had the superb idea of renaming the Peoples Republic of Popistan into the Holy Fraternity of Popistan, maybe i got a bit carried away by that idea – but in the end i think it was a way too corny – i think it is more than enough that the studio is called the Chapel.

So i changed it back to the Peoples Republic – next time i might change it into Peöples Repüblic – just to make it look more hunnish

A German version might pop up very soon.

Anyway – Happy Easter to all of you.
