Kobalt's EP release

It's been a while since I've been talking about my band Kobalt. We've even changed the spelling of our name in the mean time. Front page news, people!

I wish it was. In the meantime, we're paving our road to success. After having delivered that very first demo about 9 months ago, we decided to invest in a rehearsal studio where we could also set up some recording gear. Last summer has brought us a really nice place in Lille (the Campine) and we're practicing almost daily ever since. The progress you make is incredible!

Now we're on the verge of releasing our very first EP; all songs are more or less recorded and the artwork is nearly finished. Just a couple of vocals here and there and then the mixing can begin! The joy...

You can check out a little rehearsal teaser from one of our newest songs.




We've also got two very nice shows coming up:

• 17 November 2012: Café Cycloon, Turnhout (Tune in)
• 1 December 2012: JC Den Eglantier, Berchem (Radio Friendly Unit II)

App review: Borderlive

Borderlive combines all concerts in Northern France and The Flanders (Belgium) in one clarifying concert line. Even when you're not connected to the internet, you can still browse the line up in full. 

It provides all the info needed, such as time, place, date, ticketprices, and you can share your favorite concerts on Facebook and Twitter. You can also invite your friends for a certain concert through mail. 

Online tickets can be bought via an easy link in the concert description and 'route' guides you to the gig withouth any hassle. 

The handy feature 'On Air' allows you to see the first upcoming show, and gives you a short summary of date, place and time in one touch. 

Borderlive is an intitiative of Clubcircuit and R.A.O.U.L, two NPO's that haven't been strangers to each other. In 2009 they founded TERMM (The EuroRegional Music Meeting), a project that tries to fade the borders between different countries. 

It's an easy to use app, suited for both people who live in the given areas and tourists who want to check the local live music scene when they're on vacation. 

Borderlive is available for iPhone and Android.
