Friends,

It is with pleasure alloyed with pain and not a little unconcealed sadness that I announce our goodbye-for-now party *this Saturday*.

With Valentin leaving for Berlin and Pablo leaving for Uruguay it's not clear what will happen with the band. When people ask how or whether we will keep playing, the only answer we can give (for now) is that we won't be playing in the near future, at least not in this formation.

So here's to the songs unsung and the jokes unemailed. (For now).

But I think I speak for all of us that whatever inspired us to do this all this time drives us still, and is perhaps stronger, if different. What's that you say, put it into words? Oh, that's easy … it's a beach in the beautiful country of _____, where night is day and day is also day, it's the Vondelpark, where you go and sit for a while, it's those old-style aeroplanes where two guys had to push the propellor to get it moving while the pilot put on his goggles and ate a candy bar, it's a back page torn out of the book of Europe & the Americas, it's an Amsterdammer riding a bike, a whole crazy city of Kermits the Frog.

And if we dare say so ourselves, the upcoming album was well worth waiting for.

By all of which I mean to say that we will still be filling the world with noises in some way or other.

So keep your ears open and your heart free of dust and your eyes on the back of the neck of the guy in front of you and march, soldier, march.

And come on Saturday and party with us one last time. For now.

We are scheduled as the first band, which means we *really* start at 22h!

Greetings etc., -the Caspians
