Hey man it's rainy outside
Wednesday, 07 September 2011 08:54

Is it in your country also rainy? We had a great summer though and we really enjoyed playing in Italy at the Pietrasonica festival. You can check out how "Jules M." (a very good friend and already becoming a cult legend) announces us at the festival:


That's distortion right?!


After we returned from holiday we pretty much started our daily life again. We also found some time to work on new material again... FINALLY! We even got the chance to record one jam/song. Maybe we can let you hear a mix soon or some video footage.

But the best news is that we are going on TOUR IN OCTOBER with GRANDLOOM through.... Europe! We let you know very soon which exact dates and cities are confirmed.

Till then we have one Belgium gig in Herent at De Bereklauw on September 16th and one Dutch gig at the total awesome Gods Of Groove festival in Hengelo:

flyerGoG5

 
We hope to see you at one of these shows and keep checking our updates for news about the tour and stuff. Ow and if you're interested in reading our lyrics from Mirador and an interview (in Dutch) you can check out this site

At last we'd like to leave you with some footage of one of our best experiences so far, which was being and playing at Duna Jam in Sardinia this year. Thanks again to everyone who made this possible for us (especially Oli, Stefan, Philipp and Mani) and everyone who was there! Enjoy this video of Somo during the sunset in the dunes:



Salute!

Recording new album
Friday, 17 December 2010 12:26
Hi everyone!

It's time we let you know what we are up to right now. We are busy preparing for the recordings of our new full length album in January 2011. This time we won't record in our rehearsal room but in the studio of the Muziekgieterij in Maastricht together again with Maurice Huyts. 

How will the new record be? Well... the new songs will be more spun out and more compact. More fuzz and more clean. More songs and more jams. More of the same and more of the unexpected. It's only up to you how you will experience this once you will put the needle on the wax. Anyway we can't wait any more, that's for sure!

(In the picture above we are setting up the studio in the Muziekgieterij)

After the recordings in January 2011 our next shows will be at the "Up In Smoke" Stoner-Roadfestival through Europe in February!
2010 was really undescribeble for us: Releasing our first record, playing at Pinkpop and many other cool festivals, playing with a lot of great bands and friends, signing with record label Elektrohasch and with booking agency Sound Of Liberation, meeting many good people. It's really hard to sum it all up man! It's been a trip. It's been so good. We'd like to thank you and everyone for all of this. THANK YOU!!!
 
We just updated our video gallery. It's under the media section. So have a look at some nice clips and live footage.

We hope to see you soon and remember: uuuh... to.. uuuuuuh...... yeah...
SEE YOU NEXT YEAR!!!

Hans, Rutger & Sander

Sungrazer signs record deal with Elektrohasch

Psychedelic stonergrooves from Sungrazer pressed on vinyl by Elektrohasch Records

"When we recorded the album, we already had in mind to release it on vinyl. It’s totally far out that this is really gonna happen now at Elektrohasch Records. Many bands we dig are connected there, like Colour Haze, Causa Sui, My Sleeping Karma and Los Natas. To carry the same flag is awesome!"

Last month Sungrazer spoke to Stefan Koglek, guitarist/vocalist of Colour Haze and establisher of Elektrohasch Records. An extra track, called “Intermezzo”, was recorded with Conny Schneider on saxophone and added to the vinyl edition of the Sungrazer album. Besides that, a new tracklist has been made, to bring you a new experience on vinyl.

The special vinyl edition of the Sungrazer-album will soon be available on: www.elektrohasch.de and www.sungrazer.nl.
