Happy new year !

I haven´t written a blog for way to long. But I have a good excuse. I just moved into my new house. And it is a bit in the country side under the mountains so it took a while to get the internet sorted.
When I moved in I had a bit of a check list of things I needed to get to make it homely.

1. Pink fridge
2. Fluffy kitten
3. Wholly socks ( until I can afford new floor )
4. Big chandelier
5. Lots of tea bags and chocolate ( for long long talks with girlies.
6. Snow in the garden

My boyfriend pointed out that maybe I should have put things like

1. A house phone
2. plug sockets
3. Internet connection
4. A bin
you see where I am going with this

Well he can make his own list.

Later my friends.

A quick Hello from Germany !

Hello everyone.

Thought I would use the few minutes I have until going on stage here in Munich to write a few lines about what has been going on. Me and Alisdair are on a acoustic tour in Switzerland and Germany at the moment. Tonight is the first German date, but Switzerland has been wonderful. We played in St Gallen, Chur and two gigs in Zurich. And are already looking forward to going back to Switzerland with the whole band next year.

The picture is of me posing with a little people sandwich. It was waiting for me in the dressing room in St Gallen.

Will try to post more pics tomorrow or when I next have internet.

Album being released in Iceland next week !

It is all very exciting at the moment, my new album Synchronised swimmers will be released in Iceland on monday and I am taking my band over there on tuesday. We will be playing Iceland Airwaves Festival on thursday and release gigs for the album both in Reykjavik and in Akureyri.
I think my dad is already planning how to scare the band with some traditional Icelandic food. Offering rotten shark is always a classic, because just the smell can make people cry, I will try to catch Sarah's face on camera if she actually tires it. ( I don't eat it, it os horrible, but won't be telling the foreign people that until afterwards, it is just too entertaining to watch ).

It has been snowing in Iceland last week, and I really hope it will be covered in snow when the band is there, Iceland looks so much more magical under a blanket of snow.

Later my darlings.

New album is mixed now !!!!!!!!!!!

I am writing this from the studio in Iceland where just finished mixing my second album with Mr Phill Brown, he is one rock..n roll grandpa. I have too many songs at the moment so over the next few days I will be choosing what songs will make it all the way to the album. It will be released here in Iceland in October but not until early 2010 in Europe.
Have also finished all the sewing for the artwork so now it just needs to be put together by Martin.

Later

Mixing the new album.

I have been too busy to write a blog for the last couple of weeks, we have been putting the finishing touches on the new album to have everything ready for mixing this week. We started the mixing yesterday at a studio in Iceland, and knowing my luck the computer in the SSL died right before my session! Not ideal when you have flown in 3 people to work with you. So we spent yesterday trying to work around it while a team of studio engineers tried everything possible to fix it. Just before we left last night
this engineer that kooks like he could hack into banks or the white house shows up, and sadly not even he could wake up the computer. So this morning he left for England to bring back a new computer. So hopefully tomorrow it will be working like normal. So until then we will be doing some old school mixing using human faders.
