We have been busy during the last months… Travelling around, being ill, as well as writing and rehearsing new ideas and songs for the next record. And we also released new music under different monickers, with other bands or simply under the radar. To make sure you don’t miss out, here is a short overview for you where we have been and where we are…

The song above is taken from “Hideouts” by Corwood Manual who really is our own Andreas. It has been recorded here and there while travelling around the country last summer with the help of various devices ranging from tape recorders, mobiles and computers, whatever was at hand. The EP features 4 new songs and is out now on the newly created Bloody Hands Ltd. imprint in physical and digital formats as well as “Sendawoy”, a collaboration between the author Christian Ludwig and Andreas as Corwood Manual, reinterpreting the book of the same name with even more tapes and electronic glitches. Aside from the compositions that accompany the storyline, this EP also includes a title track performed by Andreas on vocals and electronics. All this in 16 minutes. What a ride! Get them here.

Sepp has also been quite busy, touring with U*N*S and releasing a two-track 7” single on All rock’n’roll speeds up with “Nee/Uns Vier” which you should totally check out right here. U*N*S is a blistering and synth dicso heavy affair, pairing Sepp with old bandmates and even better friends you may know from Petula and/or/likewise Kate Mosh. This sounds exactly as seductive and loud as you might guess, these guys won’t miss a chance to make you ____!

Janek has been touring a lot with OMP all over the place, playing in other projects as well as he is recording various solo efforts right now. He will release a modern classical instrumental EP very soon, again via Bloody Hands Ltd. We let you know when it’s ready!

Besides all this activity new Siva. music is piling up… This year will be a one to remember!

We are proud to tell you that we are included in “The Astra Stube Chronicles #3”, a book of illustrated artwork by staggering serenaders and adorable associates such as Sebastian Feld, Juval Haring, Matt King, Marissa Paternoster, Pencil Quincy, Marcus Schäfer, Jacob Steingroot, and the wonderful Martina Lenzin, which has drawn us while we were playing at the place in late November last year. What a night, what a book! Plus there’s a foreword by Nils Rose and excerpts from Astra Stube’s semi-secret diary…

Please have a look over here as you can get the book now, you have to see it for yourself!

We see you there? Say yes yes yes! Enjoy your local spring! Yours Siva.

Hello, how are you? Greetings from the spring campfire. We took a little break during the last weeks and months as you may have noticed but this Saturday we are playing our only show this spring… The hiatus is off for a moment.

At Berlin’s new Levee Club (former Bang Bang Club) we will be headlining Popmonitor’s 4th anniversary party. But what would be a party without you? See, we are counting on you! This is where it’s at and It will be a blast.

We hope you are well, wherever you are now. See you on Saturday!

Yours Siva.
