Welcome to the official Beardfish website!
Welcome back, friends!
Sadly, two of the gigs have been cancelled; Colossaal in Germany and Z7 in Switzerland. We're sorry to inform you about this, but we'll be back there another time, we promise!
Well, since You are reading this, it must mean that our home on the internet is up and running - finally! We have been a terrible band in means of keeping our collective online profile... ONLINE so to speak! But here we are, it's 2009 and anything can happen, right?
Well. sadly both Pain of Salvation and Beardfish had to bail out of the Progressive Nation 09 tour because of SPV filing for bankrupcy, which was a real bummer. At least we got to play NEARfest in pennsylvania and the Burg Herzberg festival in Germany. Now we're looking forward to a couple of gigs in Germany, Holland and Russia in october, more about this in the "upcoming" section to your right.
Destined Solitaire
Last but not least: We have a new album out! Yes, I know we're running like clockwork over here in Gävle, Sweden - releasing albums every year. This one was released in late July! The album is called "Destined Solitaire" and for the first time since "Från En Plats Du Ej Kan Se" in 2003, it's not a concept album (many proggers gasp in disapproval around the globe, they're coughing up Chimay Bleu at the ProgResisté HQ) in a true sense of the word. There are some stuff tying it all together as usual, we like to work that way, but you're better off finding it all for yourselves. It's a different album than our previous ones, more diverse and yet as a whole more coherent than ever before, in my opinion. But in the end, we sincerely hope you're all gonna like it... That's it for now, talk to you soon! / Rikard Sjöblom
Oh! Almost forgot! We're gonna set up a webshop pretty soon where t-shirts, cd's etc will be available for purchase... It's in the works and hopefully it won't take as long to get online as this website has, I mean - we're up and running now!
Cheers!
So as mentioned, we have some gigs coming up, the concert at pROCKfest in Bielefeld, Germany has been booked for a long time and we got another gig the day after in Holland at DePul (where we finished off the mini-tour we had with The Tangent and Ritual in 2008!), nice to be back there again! And of course, we're visiting Russia for the first time in late October! We're very excited about this!
On a sidenote, the debut album with Rikard's solo project Gungfly has just been released! It's called "Please Be Quiet", contains 15 tracks and comes in a lavish digipack with a 12 page booklet. It can be purchased as both CD and mp3 through www.cdbaby.com, and cdon.com (if you're in scandinavia) and we can also recommend insideoutshop.de (if you live somewhere else!).
As soon as we open our own webshop all Beardfish and Beardfish-related releases will be available for purchase right here, but for now please refer to our links section! |
