If you are coming to see us live soon
Hello good folk, We are really looking fwd to playing again. Caia Rose Lili Leseure is a magical creature who has brought new super powers to us... it's all kind of crazy though too as I don't get a minute and we want to play lots of new songs so we need to practice.. I am sure it will all come together.. it always does somehow..
I NEED YOUR FEEDBACK..
for these gigs coming up, we are thinking of going all mellow with acoustic(AND ELECTRIC AND ORGANS TOO) and toys and beats instead of our upbeat loud rock songs.. for those if you who have seen us live before, I would like to know what types of songs you prefer live.. the mellow spaced out ones or the upbeat loud ones.. or the sweet melodic poppy ones?..or maybe a mixture..? Any Requests? Thanks, Nanu nanu, x Nina

News and Vodafone free download and Pie
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Hello world,
Things are quite crazy in our house awaiting the birth of our baby. She is due this week on the full moon. We have on gig booked in the Czech Republic which is two months away so we are hoping that she will be joining in on the drums/instrument of her choice by then..all is fine and dandy otherwise and we have never been so super excited in the snow and sun week in Berlin.
OTHER NEWS:
Vodafone have chosen us in some kind of Top 20 for free download to your phone/computer. This is for Vodafone customers only. Even if you already have ’Somewhere Out There’, it would help us if you download it for free from Vodafone too. There is no need to do it more than once though!
There’s two ways to download the tracks. Vodafone customers can click the Live button on their phone and go to "tracks" on the music page. There you can search by artist or title but there’ll also be a direct link to the Bright New Sounds tracks. Secondly, online, you can log on to MyVodafone on vodafone.ie as you would to send webtexts or access e mail and click: http://vodafone-ie.content.ftmd.sonynetservices.com/IE/en/album/static/020/847/node69_CCIE_LCen_ALBUM20847861.html
The download sign is the arrow pointing down on the right hand side.
There is a recent interview with me up on Cluas.com http://www.cluas.com/music/features/nina-hynes-interview-44513.htm
Thanks, have a lovely Easter..hopefully dancing to our tune, nanu nanu, Nina ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Also: Something to do on a Winter Spring day when you have nothing to do: Tofu and vegetable pie : I made a tofu, spinach, mushrrom and brocolli pie yesterday. So easy. Made the pastry from 3/4 mug of whitel flour and 3/4 mug of brown flour.. some butter kneaded in and 3/4 mug of ice cold water, little salt and pepper.. nice pastry. Then fried in olive oil(not much oil) leek x 1, garlic(fresh x 2 or 3 cloves), mushrooms, brocolli..chopped quite small, spinach(roughly chopped..added in some Dijon Mustard(1 or two spoons) green pesto(enough to add taste depending on how much you want) and a small tub of creme fraiche.. I then put this in a bowl and added the tofu chopped up in to ther same pan and added some honey.. .. then I added this to the vegtables..(you can replace the tofu with chicken/sausage/anything you want) I rolled out the pastry and baked the bottom of a dish blind for a few minutes.. then poured in the vegetables and covered it all with a layer of pastry..brushed with an egg Cooked for 30 mins at 200 degrees.. Made some salad and home made chips in the oven to go with it.. Lovely..

New Years Eve
Hey beautifuls,
After feasting in France for a week, we got back to Berlin last night..
the most romantic, emotional and beautiful New Years eve ever for me ..thought we were going to have a quiet one in as we just got back from the airport at 21h but we went for a walk at 22h to see if anything was going on...we went up to Mauer park
and the fireworks had begun a little..the air was crispy and we stopped in this lovely cafe and had a waffle and a green tea and then at a quarter to 12, we went walking again
and at midnight, the fireworks just went beserk. I think we were in the best place in the world for bringing in the new year.. never felt so exhilerated by or close to the fireworks.
Berlin was just simply CRAZY
and WILD..
seriously dangerous
and exciting
we ended up on a crossroads beside a big church
and there were people on every corner all down each of the 4 roads sending them off... sky was full of blasting stars and sound..terrifying and beautiful..nobody controlling the flow, nothing official..
and the church bells didn't stop ringing and people were cheering from rooftops
and I felt I was with the love of my life and we have begun a family..and there were
non stop explosions and sparkles..and the smell and smoke..like being in the opposite of a warzone but feeling the danger..like a vibrant joyzone..
mental
beautiful
crying and laughing in the new year.
We woke up the the ground covered in white and all oustside the window was a Winter picture glass dream..an incredible start..
Have a great 2008
x Nina

News Updates..travelling on..
Hello the world,
we have paid for our beloved Hannes the van to be destroyed..sniff sniff..but the renting of cars has actually improved the quality of our lives because they are so much faster so less travelling time and less exhaustion.. we have not been able to work out how to link the mp3s yet as the shop is down on the site so I have been emailing them to anyone who made a donation.. and thanks to all who have been donating..(reccomendation for donation is 2 to 3 euros and we will send you songs..every euro helps..
Our gig in Vienna organised by the VSA was brilliant ..lots of people, great sound and we got to hang out with lots of other cool and friendly bands too which is always an eye opener.. and a sharing of lifestyle..we all complained about the hard indie slog of life and then celebrated about how lucky we are to be living with the music.
The VSA are the Vienna Songwriting Association. Their belief of what is songwriter is is much the same as mine..as in The Velvet Underground to Tom Waits to Kate Bush to Nick Drake to Peaches to Beck to The Flaming Lips to Radiohead to Carole King to Joni Mitchell, Dylan and on and on..and any music that has a song within it..it has been so refreshing to deal with promoters who are all about the music and organised so well that playing is a pleasure..
and we are back in in Berlin until Thursday when we leave for Italy..which we are looking on as a food, driving and playing holiday that won´t cost us anything..
:) and as always thanks for your encouragement and support..it really makes a huge difference as sometimes, it can be very disillusioning when nothing seems to come back after all the hard work we do..and we live to know people actually enjoy the music! ;)
For the moment, I am in my 24th week of pregnancy and all is going well..we are hoping for a drummer but there will be no force feeding of music involved..we hope to continue touring a few months after the baby is born in March once the conditions are right.
x Nina
