BEEHOOVER - new album out soon!

For all YOU saints who have been going above and beyond for us in the last week here's a little update on how it's going. First of all we still are moved to tears (literally) by the massive support you all have granted us and we can't even think of how we ever could pay this back. We also feel and see that something very special established itself here - a true DIY family moved by the power of music, friendship and fandom. There is one thing that we can assure you: we will keep going and the money and efforts you have given us will be invested in more great music and attitude to be circulated. You helped us and every artist and their music associated with this company and you can't even imagine how much this means to us.

Now for the hard facts: We spent the whole week of clearing the space in the basement, packed 60+ boxes with all our belongings and stored them at various friends' houses (thank You all!) We kicked all doors and door frames out as well as the whole bathroom interior, closet, sink, shower. The three 5000 Watts dryers are still humming and fill our house with sound that we call the drying drone. The electric power is back in half of the house, phones, internet and heating are working again and I have gone back to work from my netbook at least halftime. I spent the whole weekend making lists of what has been destroyed and dug through 5 years of water soaked accounting files to dig out as many receipts as I can to present it to the insurance company. They still are very supportive but also told us that there is no way to get refunded for all we have lost. The total loss in numbers clocks in at around 45,000 EUR according to our calculation and we are now negotiating with the contents insurance for how much they can pay refunds. The building insurance has granted us full support and will pay for all parts of the restauration that is connected with the building. The drying and plumbing companies working in our house expect the drying to go for another 2-3 weeks and then painting walls, plumbing and door carpentery will follow and we are expecting to be able to move back in our office in about 4 weeks from now.

Thanks again for you all, thanks to the bands playing the shows on the 1st and 2nd of May! We hope for you all and the fans attending these shows to have a good time. Raise your glasses to us and more importantly to yourself, get wasted and party! It's about time to get back to what we are here for: celebrating outstanding music and its creators! THANK YOU!

Andreas + Beate + Johanna

New on Exile On Mainstream:

ASTROSONIQ - Quadrant

3 years in the making a new album effort now sees the light of day and the “Wizards Of Oss” set a new pace to their neverending trip into the realms of rock history and presence. With being far away from nodding their heads to redundant “retro” attitudes they take the ingredients from history as well as modern approaches to the power of the riff, stir it up in a state-of-the-art-production and have it shimmer straight into your gut.  Knee-deep in space jam wonderland they wander through the tides of contemporary rock with both eyes open staring at tomorrow’s horizon. This is Astrosoniq at their absolute best yet. RELEASE DATE: January 25th 2010

WIVE - PVLL

The music of WIVE pulls from and fuses together a broad range of musical elements including, classical composition, electronic/glitch, melodic pop nostalgia and minimalist sensibilities. PVLL became an abstract inspection of the commodification of reality, belief, and humans. A critical stab at the supremacy of ownership of things one cannot own. Quickly swinging from piano-lead waltzes to massive synth washes to straight-ahead melodic hooks, WIVE creates an aesthetic that is both somber and hopeful.  RELEASE DATE: February 1st 2010

2009-10-09: Hurray!

We are back folks! What you see here might look like the EOM site you´ve been familiar with for such a long time and infact that´s one reason why we kept everything in its place. But underneath the visible alot of things changed.

This site is running on a complete new CSS for improved safety and stability. We have a save contact form and a new player for your favourite songs. You´ll find a news section for each band - if there are news to tell. And we promise you there will be plenty of it in the near future. We also try to get the shop back to work as soon as possible. Please bear with us, we are currently changing the system, we´ve been working with.

Check back soon for more news to come ... and welcome back to the Exile on Mainstream universe! Thanks for beeing so patient with us.
