Ladies and Gentleman...
it´s been a while ;-)

We are, as you might have heard, currently writing new material and working on our upcoming album. Things are doing well and we all enjoy writing new stuff.

Because of this, we still do not play any shows so far.. although we are already longing to enter stages again!

But we have some awesome news for you.
Our video has finally made its way to our myspace site, after being a Christmas present for you on the Estate´n Rian site.

Just click on our myspaceprofil and watch "Spread My Wings". Thanks again to Markus Andritsch for filming cutting, his passion to create something beautiful and having time for us.

So far so good... I hope you all had a great start 2007 and we´ll hopefully see you all soon!

Cheers Ephen Rian

Sorry for not posting the latest news for so long. No excuses just punishment ;)

Past Last Shows for 2006:
So we are back from tour now for a few weeks and it was really amazing. Thanks to all the guys who made this possible. It was more than a pleasure for us playing in your town and country, talking to you and making party all the night. It was for sure one of the best times we ever had and this is definitely the truth. Thanks to Jules (below zero booking), Damien (hold on production), Christian, Edgars, Stefan (deep dive music) and all the guys how supported us in any way, came to our shows and made the tour what it was like. A fucking unforgettable time. Thank you sooooo much.

Little Break/New Album:
So, after driving more than 70 000 km and playing 150 shows the last year we decided to make a little break to focus on our new songs and the direction we will go. Most of the time its hard, to work on new stuff in a small van on the road while trying to tour whole Europe ;). But we definitely wont stand still so we will have a lot of goodies for you the next few weeks.

Video for "Spread My Wings":
We shot our video for the single "spread my wings" and be sure it will hit the road the next few days. Max Andritsch did a great job and it was awesome to work with such a professional guy.

Goodies:
Also all our diaries, a lot of photos and "backstage information" ;) will be spread on our www.ephenrian.com (the next days. So be sure to keep yourself up to date.

So what else can I say...hmmm...we are working on new songs and I think thats the main focus of our band rights now. So...you can be sure that it will kick your asses ;)
Take care
Stefan

As you might have noticed it´s been quite a while since our last news update so for now here we go: Well let´s start with our main point of interest:

---TOUR---

  We have decided to spend some more hours in our van again in September, which
  means we are going to tour! Starting with Slovenia we are will play as well
  in Austria (who would have guessed?) Germany of course and some days in Lithuania,
  Latvia, Estonia and France. Still having our first shows in Eastern Europe in
  mind, this is for sure going to be a great time again.

If you take a closer look at our dates you´ll find out that we play Estate´s

  release show in Linz (Posthof). They just released their new killer full length
  album "the opposite of indifference" on Septemer 1st and we are
  going to celebrate this with Law found guilt, Suneral, Outsmarted and Estate
  on the 16th of september. Not only that this is going to be a hell of a party
  anyway this will as well be our last show in Austria in 2006. So if you want
  to make party with us once more in good old Austria this will be your last chance
  to, this year. Be there!

Many of you have already heard of it, but still once more, to let everybody
  know: We got the great opportunity to support the amazing Canadians, Billy Talent
  at their concert in Paris (September 18th).

  called "Spread my Wings". We just received the copies of it containing
  3 new songs. This Single can only be purchased at our concerts.. Oh, I almost
  forgot "Framing the Facts", a new song of the single, can be heard
  at our myspace profile. Check it out and give some feedback ;-)

Here the CD Artwork and the tracklist:


Tracklist: 1. Spread My Wings
                 2. Avenue View
                 3. Framing the Facts
                 4. With the Absence Of Mind

---SPIRIT TOUR FESTIVAL---

  If you wanna hear them live on a big stage you should definitely come and see
  us in cologne on October the 13th when we are going to perform with Kettcar,
  Pale, Mediengruppe Telekommander, at the Spirit Tour Festival 2006.

---VIDEO: SPREAD MY WINGS---

  As this seemed not enough for us we have decided to shoot a video for one of
  these songs which will be done by Markus Andritsch who has already supported
  Red lights flash with amazing work. Hopefully you can watch us "on screen" this autumn.

---ALBUM---

  Right now we are working on new material and after this upcoming tour we will
  only be playing some shows in October in Switzerland and Germany which will
  be our last ones for this year! We all want to focus on writing our first full
  length album and we all agreed that this will only work out the way we imagine
  that if we do not play concerts.

So finally once more, we hope to see as many of you at our upcoming shows in
  autumn because we will for sure miss you all a lot while writing new material...
