A lot, a lot, a lot. Loads of news, pictures, video and songs from last two weeks!

Posted on December 7, 2008 by destroyer

We’ve been busy last weeks and we still are. You saw us: recording, protesting against policy of Board of Czech Radio, playing live at radio Wave.
THE NEW ALBUM, THE FIRST SINGLE, MUSIC VIDEO AND NEW TOUR

So, after two years of intense gigging and preparation of new material we finally recorded 14 tracks to be further [...]

Aftermath. Part two.

Posted on July 20, 2008 by destroyer

I don’t like photos very much despite that I am really fascinated by them. Especially I have very ambiguous relationship to photos of me. They are not “memories” as I never remember the moment they were taken, they work much more as a “feedback reflection” as I always see how horrible my haircut was that [...]

Aftermath. Part One.

Posted on July 8, 2008 by destroyer

It was like a dream. Tucznak, shooting all this for three days, wrote a nice post which sums it up for me quite well. “Internet makes the world smaller” finally got a real picture for me.

In couple of hours, 10AM exactly, The Dad and his family will land at Prague’s airport. We can’t wait. We planned everything properly, bought presents, made schedules, transport plans, media meetings. I think now we are ready. Adrian and Stevie will wait for Abe Cruz and his family at the airport (together with Tucznak, who [...]

“The Prostitutes got The Dad. But better don’t ask for details.”

Posted on June 8, 2008 by destroyer

Look into the last issue of Filter magazine and apart from the undergoing main theme which is “Splits, break-ups and divorces” in music business and we are happily not a part of it this time, you can find at page 17 a short mention of The Dad video. The editors are, by their own words, [...]

Domestic WOM.

Posted on May 13, 2008 by destroyer

Word of mouth works always best in pubs. Thats probably how The Dad’s video is becoming famous in US. This guy from Divorced Cousins Club (what a name!) tells his story how he met Abe Cruz.
