Alec Empire & Nic Endo news FEB 2008!

EYHO NEWSLETTER – February 2008
CHANGES TO EUROPEAN TOUR PLAN
Well, first let's get the bad news out of the way. As you may already have heard from one source or another, the first few dates of 'The Golden Foretaste' European Tour had to be moved to April. Nic Endo contracted a severe ear drum infection and was advised that any exposure to noisy environments would likely permanently damage her inner ear and so we reluctantly decided that dropping the first two weeks of the tour was the most sensible thing to do. We're very sorry to have disappointed so many of you but rest assured, the cancelled shows will be re-scheduled for April and we'll keep you up to date
with information as we have it.
The tour continues on the 14th of February as planned:
14.02 Copenhagen - Denmark // Stengade 30
15.02 Malmö - Sweden // Debaser
18.02 Rostock - Germany// Mau Club
19.02 Warsaw - Poland // CDQX
21.02 Vienna - Austria // Flex

ALEC EMPIRE + EMMA ECLECTIC + ASCII DISKO @ TANZWUT WEST, FRANKFURT
A heads up to all the Frankfurt fans - …mid-way through the Euro tour, Alec and Co. stop off at Tanzwut West for a DJ night. The Berlin invasion starts here as Alec hits the decks alongside one of the EYHO Dream Team, Emma Eclectic. Also spinning a disc or two is the mighty Ascii Disko. If you think French electro-disco is over …then you'd be right! If you haven't already discovered what the press are calling 'The Sound of New Berlin', then this is your chance to hit the floor and eat to the beat.

ALEC EMPIRE – THE GOLDEN FORETASTE OF HEAVEN PRESS UPDATE
So far the response to Alec's new LP has been fantastic with positive reviews coming in from across Europe. Here's a taster of what the journos have had to say about it:
"More thrilling torment from one Empire that will never crumble."
NME
"If this is Empire's golden foretaste of heaven, pray you never have to taste hell."
Out In The City
"Terrifyingly glamorous."
Alternative Mag
"So forward-thinking it suggests an afterlife composed of people not even born yet."
Clash
"The album is a cracking blast of testosterone fuelled, straight to the central nervous system, electronic rock, that when in the right frame of mind, will enthral and pump up the adrenalin and emotions of many a listener."
Playlouder

RELEASE THE RECORD – THE GOLDEN FORETASTE OF HEAVEN DROPS AT TRESOR
The 17th of January saw the EYHO crew invade legendary Berlin techno venue Tresor to present...something a little different. Out went the grubby 90s techno, in came EYHO and the sound of New Berlin. Our hot favourites Reznik, Emma Eclectic and Buggy span some killer electro tunes while Alec himself took to the decks for a crossover set incorporating fan favourites from his back catalogue with hot new album tracks and personal favourites from 2008. And with a crossover album being presented, no surprises that there was a crossover crowd from DHR's most hardcore fans to Berlin's next generation of Bright Young Things.
And the wonderful Sofia Neves and the Neon Sleep crew were there to document the event. A selection of pics can be found at the EYHO Myspace page. Vice magazine also published a review of the night on their blog (in German) with a picture gallery.
