KANEpromoladies - Can You Handle Us?

Things seem relaxed on this end but it ain't. Dinand just got back from New York where he's been singing. Result? Single number 2 is nearly ready to be released!  Bet you gonna love this one! Release date and more info soon!

The artwork for the new single is nearly finishes as well. Then there's a video to be shot. Always great fun. Once again with our friend Bjørn from Belgium who's busy with preparations. Afterwards Dinand will finish off singing in the new album and there will be some remixing as well. Deadlines are tight but still we're on schedule.

Got some disturbing mails from Belgium. No worries, we'll soon be heading over there and all info on this trip will be put on www.kane.nl. Kanefans, the waiting is nearly over. Soon more news on KANE.NL Its gonna be a long HOT summer!

See you soon! 

On Saturday Dennis wrote a new update:

I already mentioned Scott, our producer, is in town these days. Primarily to check the recordings made in New York and to extract the best ones. But today we’re also recording some guitars in a familiar spot: The Wisseloord studios in Hilversum. Got a funny story about that place to tell you guys: our engineer back in New York (Neil Dorfsmann) once worked on the famous Hysteria record of Def Leppard right here at the Wisseloord studios for months alongside the legendary producer Mutt Lange, husband of the lovely Shania Twain (name dropping, got good at that ever since we’ve been in NY…) Neil told us the Wisseloord studio got his name from that legendary recording session. It lasted a staggering three years. The producer insisted the guitars were recorded string by string and drums had to be recorded at the nearby swimming pool because the sound was awesome. Those were the days. I suggested we’d do the same shit but unfortunately nobody fell for that… Anyway, at the Wisseloord we’re on known territory because here’s where we recorded the 'As Long As You Want This' album and the 'What if' was remixed here by Tim Palmer. Mind blowing exciting sessions of table tennis were played here during breaks with Tim. All won by us, off course. And b-sides, one with the longest title ever: 'Christmas Time Won't Be The Same Without You But Maybe Next Year It Will', and 'Moment Of Truth', were recorded here. Good to be back.

Two days later and three songs more… Today’s Saturday and single 2 is almost finished. Everybody’s exited! Sounds awesome. But we got a tight schedule and we’re now working on track 4. Meanwhile girlfriends, buddies, record company friends, publishing mates and visual artists drop in. Amongst them also Reyn, friend of the family, who showcased some string-music. Great to record back in Holland but at the same time so we’ve got so much distraction. So different then recording in a studio on a mountain near Woodstock in New York, where you gotta take in groceries for the whole weeks or take a stroll for two hours to get that milk you wanted. To be continued!

Greetz, dennis

On the KANE myspace we can read up on a new update from Dennis:

Yesterday we played live at the show of Paul de Leeuw for the very first time in KANE history. Must admit, not bad at all. Just watched the show on tape and damn that new firebird I gave myself as a birthday present sounded awesome! ;-)

Gotta thank you guys as well for our number 2 entry in the charts! Dinand already thanked you guys but have to join in here too! Great. Really close finish there (2%!!!) so we’d almost popped the cork of the champagne bottle. In any case we’d better wait with doing that until the second single will be released, another part for sure! Really great you were there once again supporting us like you did. Think CATWALK CRIMINAL got a hold on you guys now doesn’t it. Took some time, no prob. We already knew the song for a while. Once again, thanks for the support!

This week it’s working back at home in The Netherlands. Producer Scott Jacoby should be stepping out the airplane as I write this. Dinand and Scott will take a listen at the recordings made at the All Aire Studio and we’ll record some additional tracks. We’re slowly finishing that recording proces. Still should take a while I guess what’s always exciting I think. But one thing’s for sure. It’s gonna be one hell of a record!

Ok have a nice day and see you soon! Gr, dennis

A shout out from the guys on their Hyves:
