Hello everyone,

Within days we will release the first single from our upcoming EP which is a song called ‘AFIRE, AFIRE’. This is not only the first single but also the first song we made as a three-piece band, so it definitely marks a new step into new territory for LISTE NOIRE.

The video was shot at CCC Studios in Berlin-Spandau which is owned by Arthur Brauner who was one of the key figures in the reconstruction of the German film industry after World War 2. There was also a photo session happening so new pictures will soon be online taken by Bobby Collins (www.streykatt.com). The concept, artistic direction and the installation itself was made by software magician James “Murph” McMurphy (www.scn9a.org) and is something quite extraordinary which you will see very, very soon!

We are all very excited about the premiere of this video and hope that you are too!

In the beginning of 2015 we hopefully won’t have anymore issues with bringing our instruments onto the plane as hand luggage. This is just amazing since it’s always, ALWAYS been a problem not only for us but for all touring and travelling musicians.

“One passenger complained of being told to consign two violins worth nearly £175,000 into the hold, while another was forced to buy an extra seat for a rare Turkish instrument the size of a guitar and a third prevented from bringing a banjo onto an aircraft. [...] Professional musicians have long been sending [...] horror stories of broken instruments or refused travel just for trying to do their job. While we have had success with individual airlines such as easyJet, the proposal for regulations will come as music to the ears of many musicians travelling around the EU.

“If these regulations go ahead, this will be a huge benefit to professional musicians.”

Here are some photos from my analogue camera which I finally got developed and scanned. The photos are taken from tours in Nüremberg (DE), Odessa (UA), Alvesta (SE), Madrid (ES) and of course our beloved Berlin. 2015 calls for more touring!

The recording progress is going swimmingly!
