We got some good news and some bad news for you on this last day of March. Let's start with the bad one:

April 9th is your last chance to see us live for some time now, so you better get your ass to Rockekampen 2011 and support us in the competition the next saturday. We simply ain't planning any more shows after that. You ask why?

Well, that's where the good news kick in.

It's nearly a year since we recorded the "Arms of Faith" demo, and we think it's time for us to visit studio again. We won't say exactly when, and we won't say exactly what we are going to do - but we think it will be pretty awesome, and we want to focus on this for the next couple of months.

Of course; we won't say no if someone offers us a job too good to refuse. This will eventually delay our studio plans though, so it must be a really good offer.

If you want us to play somewhere, contact us and we might work something out.

See you then!

Last monday, Liam was waked up by his cell phone ringing. As he finally answered, no other than the manager of BigBang was on the line, asking if Show Champa wanted to support the quite-so-famous band on tour.

We said yes, and three days later we were hanging out with the guys at Kroa i Bø.

Needless to say; we had a great time.

Because of this, the local newspaper Varden made an interview with us, and we actually got the whole front page of their sports- and culture edition. The next day, radio station NRK Telemark had a live interview with Preben. Things are really starting to roll now!

The same week we were also picked out as one out of twelve bands to fight at Rockekampen 2011, a local competition where the winners get 10.000 NOK and get to play shows on local gigs and festivals.

We found out we could use a web site that was just a bit easier to update. So yes - we're using blogger. Now we've said that. And by the way; that allows you to comment our news!

But hey, life's good. Last saturday we had a great show in Skien, presenting new songs like "People of the Sun" and "Arabian Night".

Not just that; some very kind people are helping us with financial stuff, which means that we should soon be ready to go to studio and record what we hope will be an awesome EP.

These are exciting times.

Oh, and we almost forgot: About a thousand people are gonna watch us at Ibsenhuset, Skien, in late March - no shit. And you could be one of them. Read more about it here, and get your ticket now. You won't regret, of course.
