Crystal Extasy kuulumisia
Hello kaikille: Bändi on ollut pääsääntöisesti pari viime vuotta tekemättä mitään. Homma alkoi tuntua paikallaan polkemiselta ilman intohimoa musiikkiin. Varsinkin mulla toi kipinä oli ollut jo ennen tota taukoa pitkään poissa. Alkuvuodesta 2011 aloin tekemään taas biisejä ja demoja pitkän tauon jälkeen ja huomasin nauttivani siitä taas, vaikka soitto olikin ruosteessa. . Biisejä tein kuitenkin pääsääntöisesti itseäni varten...

Loppukesästä laahasimme sit luumme treenikämpälle ja uuden kitaristin sisäänajo ja biisien uudelleentreenaus alkoi. Iworin tilalla on nyt uusi kitaristi, joka on hyvä soittaja ja nasta jäbä (tästä myöhemmin infoa lisää).

Nyt suunnitelmissa on treenata bändi kuntoon ja sit kun tunnemme olevamme valmiita hyppäämme varmaan bandwagoniin ja lähdemme kohti keikkamestoja, myöhemmin myös studioon. Sitä ennen tässä hieman näytettä mitä tuleman pitää, voit ladata kuunneltavaksi samplen kotidemosta tästä.

Crystal Extasy news
Hello everyone. The past 2 years the band has not been doing anything. Everything started to feel like walking in the place , without the real passion for music. Especially I lost the spark a long time ago. In the beginning of 2011 I started to write songs and demo’s again and somehow I started to enjoy it again, even though my playing was a bit rusty. I mainly made those songs formyself.

In the end of the summer we collected our bones and dust and went to the rehearsal place to see how everything is gonna work with the new guitarist who is a nice guy and a good player by the way (more information about this coming later). So Iwor is not in the band anymore.

The plans for near future are simple, we want to make the band sound like a band again. And when we feel that we are doing fine we are going to jump into bandwagon and head into rockclubs to play. Later we are going to studio aswell. Until then, here is a short sample what you can expect to be coming. Download a sample of a home-made demo from here.

Baltic tour, new songs etc.

Well, it has been a long time (almost 2 years) since the news were updated. There have been a lot of changes going on in the camp of Extasy. Salaud decided to move on and left the band although he was so nice he stayed with us until we found a new bassist and he is this cool foxy rocker called Lulu.

We started to record some new songs a year ago with Salaud but when he told us his heart is not into this anymore there was no reason to continue the recordings anymore. So pretty much the last year went by finding the new bassist and teaching him the songs and playing a few gigs.

We got this really cool guy Jukka who is selling our gigs now. So there will be more shows coming up this year and maybe some nice co-operation with other bands as well.

Now we are practicing killer new songs and preparing to go and rock off some Baltic clubs in Estonia and Latvia in March. After that we are heading back to recording studio to continue the recordings. So new songs will be available this year and hopefully we'll get something released on cd as well. There are so many songs to choose from, some are ready, some are half done and some new ones you have possibly heard on our shows.

Oh almost forgot The Crystal Extasy proudly presents the new website. Hope you like it coz we do!

Have a nice spring! Yes, it's coming soon even though it doesn't look like it at least here in Finland, it's raining and so grey.

GOOD TO BE BACK!
Helloui, here you are, surfing on the new Crystal Extasy cyberspace highway! Well, there will be some add-ons and updates coming later e.g. on show dates, photos, etc.

The gig last Friday at the Semifinal was just great. I loved it, the band loved it, and it seemed to me that everyone in the audience loved it as well. And yes, the place was packed.

There were some guys and girls who asked about our compilation album "Sci-Fi Cartoon World". I'm sorry, but I don't know the release date yet, as the material is still on my computer. Before I can give it permission to take-off and land to Argentina, I have to take care of some legal stuff as the record label is not domestic. I hope to get these legal matters sorted out ASAP, so that you could start enjoying of the record.

I look forward to seeing you all great people out there at the gigs, and hey, keep on surfing here to be informed.

Take care. -Mickey Crane-
