1.  Tell our Rock Fans about the band’s latest release?  Where did the 
band record with and who? 

 Missing Link includes heavy riff songs that are meant to be played 
loud and some quiet melodies (also nice if loud). The recording took 
place in my apartment 🙂 I (Jose Luis) recorded it alone.


2. How long was the writing process and what inspired you on this new release?

It took about two weeks to record, the inspiration I drew from several 
thigns including nature and traveling.

3.  What changed during this process from previous releases? 

Not much changed..I went minimimalistic on the pedal setup.

4.  What’s next for the band?  Any Tours or festivals Lined up?

 
We will present some of the songs of Missing Link in Vienna on 
September 30th . October 5th in the House of Witches in Munich. 
November 8th Animal Rights Congress in Vienna.

5.  Describe your live show to a fan that has not seen you perform before?

We aim to entertain with our music during live performances. Depending 
upon the event and setting, energetic or relaxing. The percussion 
parts are diverse, sometimes with Drums, sometimes with eastern 
acoustic percussion.

6.  What is your favorite song to play live?

Always a tough question to answer. 
I like to play a slow song called „It feels like nothing“.

7.  If you could collaborate on a song or tour, what band would you 
choose and why?

It would be much fun to play with Joe Satriani. Why? Because he is Satriani!

8.  What drives you as a musician?

Being creative is definitely number one. 
The need to communicate emotions, experiences and ideas. I also have a 
bunch of guitars and cables just sitting there, I have to make 
something out of them.

9.  What band member gets the most *Attention* from the fans? 
        Teo the bass player

10.  Who is the laziest band member when it comes to load in and load 
out each night?

We do not have anybody like that..

11.  What is the single greatest musical memory so far while being in 
the band? 

The very first time we played live together.

12.  If the band were thrown into a wrestling battle royal, which 
member would win?  Who would be the first to be thrown over the ropes?

 
I do not see why we would do such a thing, but…Teo prevails I think, 
and I (Jose Luis) will be the first one to fly out.

13.  What can fans expect next from the band?

More music!
