Hello lovers
Allow us to wish you a happy new year by giving you a guided tour through the highlights of the year that has passed.
On the morning of 2013 we woke up on tour with Cirkus Cirkör.
First stop was Hamburg, where we stayed for 5-6 or maybe even 7 weeks.
We fell very much in love with this city and the great people there. David lost his arm but it has grown back now : )
When we returned to Sweden it was time for us to start working on our own show. Josefin Lindberg, Henrik Ekberg, Sara Rumar, Oskar Cresso and Emil Jensen were the magic team behind a show that turned out really well and is still the biggest thing we have done. Our hope and ambition is to tour with this baby as soon as possible again.
When we do so. You should be in the audience.

With the premiere done we flew around europe for a bit. Gigs in Sweden, Norway and Germany.
In Germany we were invited to a famous TV show and it was quite exciting.
As always there is a lot of rehersals and waiting around. All the rehersals went really well and everybody was really excited about our participation and we got more and more nervous for the live broadcast.
The funniest thing with that whole adventure was when they cancelled us only 5 min before we were supposed to be on. A bit of an anti climax but it was nice to meet Bonnie Taylor.
Then came May and it was time for us to go on tour with Cirkus Cirkör again. This time in South America. (And a quick stop on Iceland.)
Argentina and Brasil was really great and we are still in love with the golden beaches of Rio de Janeiro. And the mountains. And the forrests. (Iceland was also really great.)
Back in Sweden it was time for us to try something really new. Opera. Opera is a real hit.
Because of the people involved. They are great.
We were a part of the classic piece ”Pajazzo” by Ruggero Leoncavallo. Thank you Estrad Norr and Scenkonstbolaget for this opportunity.
During this time we also participated in 2 very different rock videos.
One with Emil Jensen.
And one with Watain.
Quite different : )
”Wear it like a crown” was played for the last time. We played a total of 420 shows. Which is a record in many ways.
We finished that chapter with sadness of course. But it is also with pride and a lot of new knowledge and many, many new friends all over the world. Thank you Cirkus Cirkör, for everything. And for the amazing cake : )
It is still December and we have just finished our contract at Fotografiska Museet in Stockholm.
Along with working in that beautiful house in the evenings, we have been rehearsing for a new amazing project. What that is? We will announce it tomorrow.
Happy new year and thank you everyone that has supported us during 2013.
