Read on the site of Gerard: Dutch music channel TMF will showcase an exclusive KANE concert as promotion for their new album ‘Everything You Want’ somewhere in May or June. Tickets for this showcase can be won on the website www.tmf.nl or on the Dutch show ‘Re:action’. If you order the new KANE album before the 6th of May at www.freerecordshop.nl there’s also a chance you’ll win tickets for this exclusive showcase.
The second single from the new KANE album is titled ‘Shot Of A Gun’. The track is currently Megahit on Dutch radio 3FM, Alarmschijf on Radio 538 and Superclip on Dutch music channel TMF.

It are crazy times: Dennis and I started about two years ago with the preparations for the fourth KANE album. No clue where we were headed, but a very clear view on what had to be different. Someone once said to me: if you want change, you’ll need the courage to change yourself: making a dream come reality starts inside you. And that’s how it goes. So we let go and jumped: KANE records was born. From this point on we’re an independent. Afterwards we chose Universal music to join us in our adventure. And that’s a good thing. Good feeling that there are record companies that still find the word ‘music’ in ‘musicbizznizz’ important. It only makes us more powerful right here in the Benelux.

 

 ‘EVERYTHING YOU WANT’ is our fourth album: on Wednesday the 9^th of May you’ll find it in (Dutch) stores.

 

Eleven tracks… the best ones that survived the kill your darlings sessions the past two years: ‘Yeah Yeah Yeah’ did make the final tracklist… and so did ‘I Belong To You’…ofcours… the others didn’t: 9 to go!!! The feedback we got from those who had the chance to listen to the new album (still just on a demo recording) for the first time this week are amazing. The best KANE album up until now.

Still on the agenda: recording lyrics for the final three tracks, then back to New York to finish everything of. It should be ready by Monday the 7^th of April. On its way to you guys!

 

Just let us know what you think about ‘Shot Of A Gun’. Use the internet and our pages on Hyves, KANE.NL (for the official breaking news)… Myspace and YouTube for all the interactive talks… with you guys.

 

Enjoy yourselves,

[ in Dutch ] In het internetmagazine Bomvol staat deze maand een interview met Dinand en Dennis waarin de heren vertellen over de steden waar hun nieuwe album werd opgenomen, waar ze zich het meest creatief en chill voelen en welke plekjes all over the world gewoon ‘hun ding’ zijn…

Sla Bomvol open via http://www.bomvol.com/8/index.php?origin=m0_8 en kijk, luister en onthoud welke steden totally KANE-approved zijn…

 

-----------------

 

This month there’s an interview with the guys from KANE to be found in Dutch online magazine Bomvol in which they talk about their favourite cities. Whether it’s NY where their new album was recorded or hometown Delft where their own studio has its location, each city has got that special thing the guys need to be creative and at ease …

Unfortunately the interviews are in Dutch but you might get the vibe of the cities who are totally KANE-approved as you watch the guys talking about them…

BACK ON TRACK WITH ANOTHER FUNKY RHYME ... which means there’s some mayhem going on. 

 

Dinand wrote a new update on the official KANE hyves:

 

Gotta say good for the mayhem, but it’s some crazy shit this time. We’re working in at least two different places at the same time on the new album. Primarily New York and Delft alternated with Ibiza, Los Angeles, London and… my back yard ha, ha. Ja, life is tough. At the moment we’ve got a studio build in my garden shed. Meanwhile Dennis is hard at work at the Delft studio. So everybody’s working like nutters but it seems like we’ll make our deadlines. Consequence of that is we’re all in our own little worlds these days. Totally focused on details and o fuck… got to finish those lyrics today. Once and a while we’re pulled back into the reality of the KANE bizznizz. Like deadlines, designs, releases… and ticket sales.

 

I’ll get back to that in a minute. First let’s talk releases. The next KANE single will be ‘SHOT OF A GUN’. We shot the video for that single last week in Los Angeles and Brussels. In a few weeks you’ll get it in your face. We’re extremely happy with the reactions on our first release ‘CATWALK CRIMINAL’. YouTube got over 125.000 views in 1 month and with an entry at number 2 in the charts we made a cool start I think. Like always, very sincerely, Thanx to and for your support!!! Heading to ‘SHOT OF A GUN’ followed by... that fourth KANE cd. I’m in to deep to talk to much about it but it’s hard when you’ve got 45 songs and knowing there will be only 12 songs on the album. ‘Kill your Darlings’. I’m getting emotional now ha, ha.

 

And after we announced the try-out show in The Hague we received a lot of messages and phone calls regarding the chaotic presale. Honestly, seemed nice to do a gig in our hometown before the album was released. Seemed a good plan to a lot of folks, because a few seconds after the tickets got into presale the sever of the website crashed and tickets were sold out at about 11:20. This mayhem is wicked to a band and their ego’s; it’s mostly chaos for those who didn’t get their hands on those tickets. I apologize for the stress people.

 

At the moment we’re looking into doing more shows. Might be a small tour in 8 city’s, we’ll see. That’s been a long time for us. Not really on topic but seeing the chaos last Saturday that little tour would be something that’s called for. For those that did manage to get tickets for the The Hague venue… we’ll see you there. For those without a ticket. We hope to see you soon, not to long after the 23th!!!

 

Thnxxx and adios, D.

From Universal we got this:

 

After Catwalk Criminal it’s time for KANE’s second single; Shot Of A Gun. Along side the single version there will also be an additional acoustic version…

The maxi single includes the club mix van Catwalk Criminal seeing this is a huge hit in the international DJ scene. Finally they’ll get this on CD.  The video of Shot Of A Gun is applicable on your iPod Video. Just get it on there and enjoy! Track 2, the YouTube mix, was created especially for the fans to post and embed through YouTube on their own blog (Hyves, MySpace and Facebook).

 

Release of  Shot Of A Gun on the 11^th of April...

Guitarist of Dutch rockband KANE, Dennis van Leeuwen, will participate on recordings of a special single released to raise awareness for Tibet. The track ‘Als je ooit’ is an adapted Dutch version of ‘As ge ooit’ of JW Roy and Gerard van Maasakkers. Also working on the recording are Peter Slager and Bas Kennis (from Dutch band Bløf), Bart van der Weide (Racoon), Anneke van Giersbergen (ex-The Gathering), JW Roy, Loten Namling and Jeroen Goossens. The track will be released before the Dutch Ticket for Tibet festival, which will be on the 20^th of April in Amsterdam. Dutch bands Bløf and Racoon will perform next to other musicians.

Since 1950 Tibet is under occupation of China. The people of Tibet have been fighting along side the highest religious and political authority, the inspirational Dalai Lama, for their independence for years now.
