GUANO APES To Release First-Ever Live CD/DVD

September 15, 2003

Germany's GUANO APES will release their first-ever live CD/DVD on October 20. "Friedel, our designer, is currently poring over the photo archives, choosing the most thrilling live photos together with our photographer Dirk Schelpmeier," guitarist Henning Rümenapp writes on the band's web site. "And — if we know our Friedel at all — the cover and the booklet will perfectly transport the mood that is contained on the album. And most of you know it by now — these tracks were recorded at the Palladium in Cologne on 2nd May.

"When we tried to compile all our shows we've ever played (and I can't remember them all for the life of me) for the new live CD/DVD we were really astonished that we have already seen 10 summers. It's simply incredible how fast time goes by — and how many of you have ever seen us live on stage?!? On 28th November 1993, we played our first gig at the Palaver Hall in Bad Gandersheim — at that time without Sandra — and now, almost ten years later, we are going to play our last show in Ternat/Belgium on 11th October 2003 – i.e. for some time to come.

"Next year, we are all going to concentrate on solo projects. Sandra has been thinking about her solo career for a longer time now and hopes she can finally realize it, and we boys, too, are working on solo projects in the meantime. This year, I took part in the GRÖNEMEYER album and in MILA MAR, and at the moment, I'm being involved in some other projects which I would like to give a push in the near future."

The as-yet-untitled live set will be released as a regular audio CD as well as in a double-box package, featuring a concert DVD in 5.1 Surround Sound.
