EPO-555

Dear kind people of the Danish Kingdom and everyone
outside the Reich.
It is with sadness in my heart that I (Camilla)
haveto tell you about my exit of epo-555.
This is due to the happy circumstances that Mikkel Max and
I are in, which we are looking very much forward to.
But it has alsoled to serious considerations of how
it's possible to unite a future child with the fact that
being in epo also means late nights, smoke,
noise and many hours on the road or in the air.
My life in epo has for the past few years been combined
with a life at university and even though I couldn't be
without either it has been difficult for me to be there
full-hearted both places. With a little child it is
going to be ten times harder and we have therefore
decided within the band to say a definite goodbye
instead of expecting my return sometime in the future.
So my dearest epo-addicts ­ I will miss the smoke,
the noise, the late hours around the world and not least
you who turned it into what it was for me. Thank you so
much for that time; I hope you appreciate
my decision and will still follow epo in its
fight for world dominion.

Camilla

Please Help Erik Levander

Rasmus from Rumraket asked us if we could post the following:

"Please help Erik Levander and Rumraket to recover his harddisk! Donate some money, so this friendly swede can finish his detailed, partly insane and beautifully weaved together splash of electronica, melodic glitch and noise music. Erik Levander is signed to Rumraket and we cant wait to get to release his second full lenght album, unfortunately the album has been heavily delayed due to a harddisk crash. Erik cant afford to repair his disk and neither can Rumraket.

This is why we now ask all lovers of eccentric beauty to give us a hand! All donations over 14 euros will be rewarded with a signed version of the album, when it is released and the donators names will also be mentioned in the album artwork. But all donations no matter how small or big are very welcome! The cost to repair the harddisk is 1200 euros. We hope this works out!"

More info and a free download at: www.rumraket.net/erik-donation

If you are in Copenhagen on the 31th of August the "The Erik Levander Hardisc Recovery DJ Team" and "Master Fatman" will be playing from 18.00 - 24.00 at Jazzcup.
