will fly till there's nothing left
watch the world together from this sinking ship
or drown alone
off the coast facing nothingness
drawn to feel the emptiness, oh help me now
describe the scene

Boy, do I love this tune !



AUSSIE POWER !!!! \m/

3 times a charm

Hey there civilians !
It's kinda cold outside, so why don't you put on your pinkishly fluffy bunny slippers, make yourself a nice, hot cup of tea and read a cool review of the Maximum Rock festival HERE
and also check out some video footage of the bands HERE .


Remember to wear adequately layered clothing, we don't want y'all to catch a cold or something and try to keep things in perspective, 'cuz no matter how chilly the current weather is, there is always something good, cozy and warm to look forward to. In our case, that something is/will be a sort of surprise we will be putting together with our friends at No3. Yay ! Hope you guys will like it :)

Vitamin C FTW,

so I just draw the line

25.10.09 Maximum Rock Fest, The Silver Church, Bucharest.

We didn't win anything but we sure had a good time on stage!!
Hellz yeah \m/
One of our best sounding gigs ever ! Good drum sound, guitar with a nice edge, growling bass and crystal clear vocals, what more could you ask for? And on top of everything there was a huge eye behind us ! Yay !



Congratulations to the winners, they definitely deserved first place, hope to share the stage with them again some time in the future. Awesome live show, hats off. Definitely a pleasant surprise :)


Check some photos of the event HERE


EXTRA SPECIAL SUPER DUPER THANKS to the B BOYZ, Bogdi and Boby, our gracious hosts, roadies, stage techies, cameramen and recording assistants !!!!

no need to frown, just come on down



Tonight we'll be playing a pretty short but extra sweet set at VHR Pub as a part of the Rocktober concert series.



Pretty small venue but that just means that we have to play that much tighter.
Never meaning to undervalue the importance of any upcoming gig but this one presents itself as an excellent occasion for a warm up for the show we'll be playing on the 25th, where the stakes are high ! (not that we would care :)) )
Anyways, I hope some of you dudes and dudettes will grace us with your presence tonight.
Show will start around 20:00, most likely a little later but there is nothing wrong in y'all coming whenever you like. You just might miss the highlight of the evening, that's all. Namely us. :P
Drinks are on the house but you'll have to pay for them yourselves... strange customs people acquire during this financial crisis thingie.

See ya there !

From the category "What kind of psycho music are ya listening to????" :))
My bandmates freak out pretty easily.
It's just The Dillinger Escape Plan, for God's sake :P
Can't hardly wait for their upcoming album :)
but for now, here's a classic:

3 - 4 - 1



We just uploaded the gig we played on the 6th of October at JazzBluesClub. You can download the songs if you want. If you get rich by selling them, all we ask you to do is to buy us a couple of soda-pops occasionally. No biggie, we know that it's hard out there for a pirate \m/ (or was it pimp?)
Some might call us crazy for a thing like this but, honestly, we're kind of proud that after a 3 year hiatus, 4 rehearsals and 1 concert we can actually play this coherently. Mistakes and all. Heck, we've even left "Back Into Life" where the cable got ripped out of a bass pedal and the bass was non-existently silent for a couple of bars. This is us.

So without any further ado we invite y'all to

HAVE A LISTEN


take care



P.S. Big up to the Deathdrive and Deadeye Dick crews !!!!
Awesome guys, they put on a great show in spite of the lack of audience.
Be sure to pick up the Deathdrive - War Within Cd, some great sounding tunes on it!!




LATER EDIT -

if ya'll can't find the download button on myspace, just like we couldn't either :))
then look us up on LASTFM to download the tunes :)

LATER EDIT ZWEI -

extraspecial thankiez to Alexandra for the recordings and to the gal and guys taking nice pics at the gig. your efforts WILL NOT go unnoticed. check your swiss bank accounts. :P

SEE Y'ALL AT THE SHOW, KIDZ !!!!








Tuesday: The name Tuesday comes from the Old English Tiwesdæg (pronounced [ti.wes.dæg] or [ti.wes.dæj], meaning "Tyr's day." Tyr (in Old English, Tiw, Tew or Tiu) was a god of combat and heroic glory in Norse mythology and Germanic paganism. The name of the day is based on Latin Dies Martis, "Day of Mars" (the Roman war god); compare: French Mardi, Spanish Martes, Romanian Marţi and Italian Martedì.

off to the town of the dragonslayer



Tonight is the night !
Everyone will feel alright !
Groovez'll be tight !

First gig after a 3 years break. Pretty stoked about it !!
Don't know the location yet, we've never been there but we're pretty sure stuff will work out just fine. We have no supercalifragilisticexpialidocious rockstar demands, though I'd like to try just once to have something like "gummybears from 12 packs of golden Haribos sprinkled all over the hotel beds by 21 year-old green-eyed virgin supermodels" on our request list. That'll be the day ;)

I'll prolly be tweeting all the way during the roadtrip - before/after gig, so check my "less than 140 characters" twitmeister doodledramaticz here .

If anyone's in the area and wants to hang out, just come up to us, repeat these words :
"My conundrum lies within the lines of sidetracked designs of human nature, therefor I humbly admit to being a mere reflection of internal dilemmas. Yagayo ! " and you'll get a free beer and a hug from us. You must be over 18 to apply, of course.

See ya on the flippidy-floppidy,

kwikmixez for Maximum Rock Fest

Two quick and sloppy mixes we will be taking part in the Maximum Rock contest with.

Check all bands HERE

There are 50+ bands so we don't have high hopes to make it to the final :) But you can root for us nontheless \m/ And if by a miracle we get to play in the final, I promise you I'll wear my lucky socks and a T-shirt of your choice !! Out of my own wardrobe of course :P

Anyways, we'll probably be putting up some re-worked (as in better) versions of these two songs on our myspace page soon. These pretty awful mixes were made solely so we can enter the competition - I've sent the songs 3 minutes before the end of the deadline. Yay !





I am starting to like this "couch-potato" type of photo of us. Does that make me a bad person? Or just a genuine couch-potato?

this is how we do it... shalala lala lalala

Episode no 2. The mother of all spaced out, incoherent, distorted bass, feedbacked guitar jamz.
Some say our rehearsal place in the medieval castle is haunted, some say it's the fumes from the sewer that causes people to act strange. We don't know. All we know is that when Asterix sets up his drumkit you can hear fluttering of wings. Angels? Maybe.
Cynics say that they're just those frickin' pigeons living under the roof. Naysayers go forth ! We all know that tha groove of generations lost dwells in that room...and... with such great groove comes great responsability.
Ladies, hold on to your panties. It's going to get sexay !

Actually this is a sort of joint-recommendation with Frankie, 'cuz I am sure he shares the same feelings I have for this band.
This band was recommended to me, in fact the whole Aussie obsession was induced by an aussie bassplayer-buddy of mine. Thanks, Jono :)

Me playing a warwick neckthrough 6 string thumb through an ashdown rig has nothing to do with the fact that Jon from Karnivool, Luke from Cog and Stu from Dead Letter Circus (all aussie bands) also play warwicks through ashdown rigs.
Seriously.
Not kidding.
But they are on to something, aren't they? :P
Killer wicked sound !

Here you go, enjoy

sweet is the memory of past labor



Our very first group pic. From 2003. Opening for Narkoma, alongside Spaz and Gedeon. We played a pretty decent gig but Narkoma knocked our socks off. Never trust a man who says "trust me" \m/

Boy, we can hardly wait for the next gig !
bring 'em on, I say !

Met this girl in Boston, singing on the street and bought one of her cd's. Thought maybe you peeps would like her music, too.

Y'all know that lately I've been skeptical and silent when I would use to speak...and also been listening to AUSSIE music so...naturally my first recommendation would be an eloquent member of the "down-under muzak family"
A belgian-born aussie, but an aussie nontheless.


I promise that I shall break the chain of aussie muzak related recommendation posts...from time to time :) That's why I don't attack yo' eardrums with the heavy artillery. Something light should ease the transition :P

Rocktoberfest




Concerts EVERY WEEKEND - ALL OCTOBER !
WOW ! this hasn't happened since the Black Hole days. Is it possible that we are looking in the eyes of change? Sure do hope so.

We're scheduled to play on the 22nd of October. Planning some surprises for y'all !
We might even surprise ourselves !
So, on the 22nd, forget about doing the laundry, forget about switching on the tube or wasting your precious time online - just come down to VHR and we'll rock yo' socks off ! Well...kinda, don't take everything literally.
Check out the other bands as well, of course. Lotsa thangz goin' on !!

just a lovely way to start the day :)

Saint George Rock Night 5



Eleven more days to the first gig in 3 years...wooooo !
Lots of memories linked to this fest - winning best bassplayer, best band, eating one of the best soups ever, William getting a love-note thrown on stage, sleeping in a girls' dorm, me throwing up on the way to the gig...
Good old times.

Looking forward to seeing old friends, rockin' out and hopefully sleeping at a girls' dorm again :))

these days will change us all

Hey kids,

today is a historical day, the birth of zee iCoRy blog. This will be the place where you'll find some of the most uninteresting and useless information about the band (like..did you know that William was once abducted by aliens? didn't think so..),the place where we will out our in-s, upload photos and vidz of us acting stupid and occasionally post some of our gig dates.
Hopefully we'll have time to update it regularly so none of you few people will get bored.

And now ....the first of many:




For those of you who stumbled-upon this blog by accident, we're a band. Check out our myspace page for more info. Then turn around three times, click your heels and say : "there's no place like groove" and you will see your true love's name in the alphabet soup.

That's it for now, kids... and don't forget - wash your teeth after each meal ;)
