German Tour

We just got back from Germany, yeterday where we had a great time, and would like to ay thanks to everybody that came to see us or said hello. Were already looking forward to returning in October to play at the Popkomm festival in Berlin..more detail as they come.

In the meantime, theres a slightly surreal video of our TV appearance in Norderstedt, just north of Hamburg where Wolfgang of the musicstar took us just before the gig.

While we were there, we had another early review of the album from the Kurier newspaprer in Karlsruhe:



Heres a rough translation:

There is earthy folk music; how you would imagine it to be in wood panelled, nicotine stained pubs, and there is the folk music of the Doghouse Roses, who's spirit reminds of Scottish stone circles in the moonlight. Etheric, pure, nearly angel-likeso you are forced to grab deep in the drawer of adjective to describe the voice of Iona Macdonald. With this voice she presents the immaculate melodies with contemporary lyrics which are flattered by the virtuosity of Paul Taskers' guitar playing. This record is very beautiful to listen to and perfectly arranged, but all this perfection can momentarily be a little sterile. Overall Marvellous
