We regularly get requests for copies of the single 'New Era/Tsar Bomba', which we unfortunately can't fulfil due to the much too small edition. (Back then we asked the label to press more, but they didn't want to.) So we decided to make it available as free download for all, who didn't have the chance to get the 7".


2011-10-19

The french magazine Vogue has published an small article about the "Nine Circles" issue of "FAN" by BAT. You can find it here.


2011-09-10

Today the project 'Nine Circles New Era' ended. I'm very sad and feel sorry for our fans, but I have to tell you, that there will be no more live concerts and no releases of our contemporary songs/versions. If you planned to go to our concert at Sonic in Lyon next week, I ask your forgiveness and ask you to go there nevertheless and enjoy the other great bands that will play there.

I tried everything to avoid this step, but in the end it didn't work. I wanted to revive Nine Circles because making music is my life, but it seemed that for my keyboard player Joachim/Johanna Saleina making money is more important than the love for music.

If there will ever be more concerts (either alone or with a new partner) I can't say at this moment.

Love,
Lidia The Rose
