Fall 2007 Tour, Europe/UK
Thanks to everyone who helped make our tour a very memorable experience. we've just arrived home in Berlin safely.
No tour is complete without the usuals: long, long drives, getting lost, seeing new sights, making new friends, and the joy of making and sharing music every day.
we also had a few pitfalls such as food poisoning (mcdonalds! people, just don't do it), our van breaking down in scotland, and the gouging pain of gas prices in the UK, but overall we were lucky. Gig highlights were Prague, Tabor, Edinburgh, and Brussels...
an extra big thanks to Alex Czerny who was our trusty driver, and to Dominique Van De Cap, our guardian angel, and to all the promoters, clubs, friends and supporters along the way: the Rarefish gang, Adam Nenadal, Claire+Paul/Badge of Friendship, Chris Metzler, Bradley Kulisic, Torsten Hempelt, Trinity, Micheal Kamp + Walter Schmidt, Lucce+ Wim, Serge + Eline, Jay Taylor, Patrik + Tomske, Chris + Hilary/CESTA, Jozef, Manu + Flo, Mic/Acoustic Butterfly, Enon, Mono, and all the bands we played with.
now...we will rest for 6 weeks...see you in February for the next tour!

NEW ALBUM FINISHED
Dec 2005
Bee and Flower's second album is complete, after tirelessly working for 10 months. Expect some big surprises, including fully orchestrated strings and percussion, expanded keyboard work, vocal choirs, vintage electronics, and a bold new sound. TOBY DAMMIT produced (and played percussion on) this record. Toby is well known for his drum / percussion work with Iggy Pop, Swans, Ryan Adams, Stephan Eicher, Bertrand Burgalat, and more; he also co-produced the single/video remix for the Bee and Flower Music Video "I Know Your Name".
The new album was engineered and mixed by Ingo Krauss (formerly of Conny Plank Studios, Köln Germany). Release info/date TBA.

Some of the very special guests on the record include Thomas Wydler of Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds (on all drums), Kristof Hahn of Angels of Light/Les Homme Savauges (guitars), Peter Von Poehl of A.S Dragon (guitars), plus cameos from members of Liaisons Dangereuses, Ben Becker, Casino Gitano, Way Cross, and more. Go to the PHOTOS page for pictures of the sessions, when the band tracked in an ex-East Berlin GDR-era radio symphony hall.
