June 13, 2.010 Our October tour preparations are in full swing. Check out our special
"tour blog" at here
for further details! RM74 will be joining us! November 27, 2.009 We have closed our recent concert mini-cycle with our recent show in the Kunstraum Aarau (Musikzimmer). It was a very nicely promoted event and we had a lot of fun. Here is a 6+ minute excerpt from the concert:
Also, here is a direct link to the YouTube page. We are now deeply immersing ourselves into basically two things: our special vinyl project announced long ago and an international live tour in fall 2010.
October 2, 2.009 We have added new live shows in Bern and Aarau. All three upcoming shows will be part of Everestrecords' 'Zwitscherland 2009' tour (=> Flyer). Show up next weekend for the '10 years Everestrecords' celebration at Dachstock Reitschule, Bern. This promises to be a great few nights of sonic extravaganza! On the recording front, we are currently immersed in a very special sonic project that has quite some interesting potential... Once finished, this will be put on a deluxe vinyl record only and there will be a one-of-a-kind 'record baptism'... Don't expect this anytime soon, but it will come soon enough! Speaking of vinyl records, we still have a handful (less than 10!) split-LPs with S/T left, so if you want to catch one, act quickly!
April 24, 2.009 Two upcoming gigs are confirmed. June 9 at Progr, Bern and October 29 at Oblò, Lausanne. More to follow soon!
April 20, 2.009 Finally, here are some good, solid news! First and foremost, the aforementioned split-LP is only some days away The result is the very limited vinyl split-LP with the incredibly versatile S/T of Frankfurt on their quite-freshly started label Pure Pop For Now People. Two bands, one side each. Check the discography page for details. If you want one act quickly, as there are only 100 copies around - and only 50 of these will make it to Switzerland... The front cover (featured on our splash page) consists of a photograph by Ian Land. For ordering info/prices, drop us an email to toll@tollerort.org. As for future projects, we just might stick to vinyl for the next one... We'll keep you posted on the proceedings. Don't expect it to pop up very quickly, though. But you SHOULD expect it to be an exciting and beautiful release though... On the live front, there will be at least two or three upcoming gigs in summer and fall - details will be posted here shortly! For now, keep supporting music in physical formats and screw downloads! Love,
August 12, 2.008 Well.. no. We're not dead yet. In fact, very much alive and well! It's just the fact that yours truly has not been up to the task of keeping this site alive in the past months - er - years that is... A fact that is being changed right here, right now! Meanwhile, we have also adapted to contemporary needs and feeds and Roger.Z has created our own myspace page, which can be found at www.myspace.com/herpesdeluxe. There are many things going on with us right now. Stay tuned for an upcoming split-LP with a uniquely creative band from Germany. Also, recordings for our next CD are in process and progress. This will once again be a full album. Since we're still in the middle of recordings, there is no release date on the horizon so far. More imminent are a few live dates this fall. On September 20, we're playing in Zürich (near Bahnhof Wollishofen) together with Roger Rotor and Genviève Pasquier. For reasons we're not able to explore here, the exact location of the gig can not be mentioned at this time. Check out the flyer for more details. Another gig takes place on November 1 in Le Bourg in Lausanne with Everest Records labelmates Blinde Kinder (helfen bauen) as part of the Zwitscherland Tour 2008. Possibly, there will be further live dates between these two, which we will of course post here once confirmed. Hope to see you all there! December 6, 2.006 Near the end of yet another year, we are proud to present the release July 25, 2.006 September 29, 2.006 we are supporting the Legendary
Pink Dots in the still wonderful Café
Bad Bonn, Düdingen and keep our junk in the trunk to unpack it
again on September 30, 2.006 in the Restaurant
Kreuz, Solothurn (a double bill concert with rm74).
We most definitely hope to see all of you there. Cleanse your ears and
poison your minds. So, we are now officially in our 11th year. Splendid. The three days in the Schlachthaustheater were a great experience. It was worth every effort in every way possible. A huge thank you to all the brilliant artists, everybody that helped out and of course the enthusiastic audience (especially the 'shadow dancer' - you made DJ Killroy's day). Yes, we know we keep thanking everyone. And yes, we will keep on doing so. So, what's new in our second decade? First, there's (any month now) going
to be the release of the looong promised Reverend
Beat-Man and The Church Of Herpes LP, which will be called 'Your Favourite
Position Is On Your Knees' (on Voodoo Rhythm Records). This may be celebrated
(yes, we love celebrations) with a record release concert. This record
was so many years in the coming that it *needs* a celebration. Both the
release and the possible concert should happen sometime around January
2.006. Apart from that, there are many projects in our minds - some of
which will surely come alive... soon. "Und morgen, und morgen, und morgen..." September 11, 2.005 Finally... Here is our jubilee celebration program. Who would have thought that when we started making noise in July 1.995 (intended as a one-off project for the meanwhile legendary Bucheron party in the woods) that we could ever become so persistent? For this year's celebration, we have invited quite a few artists, some of which have been of influence to us, some being friends, and some being both. Short artist biographies can be found here. Of course, we couldn't resist the temptation of not only bringing you outstanding live performances, but also showing off our neat collection of memorabilia from our 10 years' existence. This collection will be arranged into an exhibit located in the basement of the Schlachthaustheater, of course the entry is free... Our sincere thanks and appreciation go out to the Schlachthaustheater, the city of Bern, zg hotels and the many many people supporting us in any way they can. Without them, this event would not be possible. We truly hope you will be part of this very special "birthday party"! Show up, have a drink and enjoy some great music! Now more than ever: SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL VIRUS!
June 6, 2.005 Back again. Among the reasons for the past silence is the fact, that Hear this: Mark September 29th, 30th and October 1st in your calendar!!!
October 11, 2.004 We are currently recording a new album (!) which should prove very interesting... It is a very special project going beyond our usual borders.
