SEPTEMBER - Anna Phoebe / 'The Comeback' / Bagga Bownz on Japanese
and American Radio!!
Hey all,
The recordings with Anna Phoebe went really well. We had a great time in the studio and last week we had a little party with the whole band to hear the end result; it sounds killer! Of course I will let you know when the album will be available.
Line up of the band:
Anna Phoebe (Trans-siberian orchestra, Oi Va Voi): violins
Joost Van Den Broek (After Forever): producer, piano/keyboards, programming
Koen Herfst (Bagga Bownz, Xenobia): drums
Sander Gommans (After Forever) : guitars
Johan van Stratum (Stream of Passion): bass
----
Next week I'll be in the studio again for 'The Comeback': "a concept album, including a dark graphic novel (comic). The story follows a rockstar inside his mind as he lays comatose in the hospital."

* Drums:
Koen Herfst (BAGGA BOWNZ)
Sander Zoer (DELAIN)
Martijn Peters (NOVACT, BACKWATER)
