After an amazing first year promoting their debut album, the Scandinavian female trio My bubba & Mi readies themselves for a new European tour. And, as the title tells us: with the tour comes a single. We’re proud to introduce you to our friend BOB: the new attractive single by My bubba & Mi.

“Our new single contains two songs – the first is a slow moaning ode to men, explaining their greatness through the stories of BBQ Bob, Cinnamon Sam and Crocodile Dundee, and the second is the long awaited release of a song we’ve played together from day 1, but that was written in 1975 by My’s father’s wife’s ex-husband’s mother’s previous lover; Bob Dylan. Enjoy it with lots of corn, watermelon and BBQ sauce, some ginger ale and a good companion.”

To promote ‘BOB’ the band embarks on a month long tour focusing on Germany and Italy. During their tour the single will be available in hardcopy. Also those who decide to support My bubba & Mi’s brilliant Very Own Car Fundraiser will receive a hardcopy in their mailbox before they know it! After the tour, the single will also be available through all quality digital retailers and can be ordered in our webshop.

On June 16th My bubba & Mi will embark on a month long tour starting in Germany. They will traverse this beautiful country from north to south and east to west. From Germany onwards they will continue their journey crossing the mountains of Switzerland to end up in their musical motherland Italy; the place where the girls wrote and recorded their debut album ‘How it’s done in Italy’. See the complete tour schedule below.

Our Scandinavian female trio My bubba & Mi will embark on an extensive tour through the Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland and Italy in June and July. One small problem: they no longer have their old and trusted tourbus at their disposal. The band therefore calls upon their fans. Through crowdfunding website PledgeMusic fans can make a donation for a new bus. In return, My bubba & Mi have come up with some extraordinary rewards.

The ladies of My bubba & Mi, hailing from Iceland, Sweden and Denmark, played over sixty shows in ten different countries in 2010. Their tourbus became their home away from home. “Once upon a time we had a car – it even came with an Italian driver! In this car we drove, worked, slept, ate, wrote songs, knitted, did our laundry, hung our panties to dry, and all the other things one needs to do on tour in a car”, they told us. According to the girls, the bus and it’s driver recently vanished in Lago di Garda, although local officials can’t seem to shed any light on this mystery. Seeing as there are already fifty shows planned in 2011 for West-Europe, the band uses PledgeMusic to call upon their fans.

Here’s how the girls break it down:

PledgeMusic is an online Fan-funded music platform utilising a Threshold Pledge System, that facilitates musicians reaching out to their fan-base to financially contribute to upcoming musical projects. In exchange for financial support, My bubba & Mi provide some nice rewards. Generous givers can choose, amongst other things, between hand knitted panties or an intimate dinner with all three band members. If one chooses ‘The personal reward’, Bubba’s grandmother will let you in on her secret pancake recipe. Other rewards include CD’s, vinyl and the new single ‘Bob We Love You’.

A full overview of the rewards and more information about the project can be found at PledgeMusic.

Ahoy you limey maties,

It’s been a long time hasn’t it? Well, don’t lose your pantaloons just yet. Here’s a little Paper Tiger update:

Next friday (the 19th) we will be supporting the psychedelic rockers Dengue Fever (LA) in Ekko. Very exciting in two ways Read the rest of this entry »

Sadly We vs. Death was forced to cancel their tour. Some things are more important then music. We know you understand. Here’s a statement from the band.

“We are sad to announce that we had to cancel our upcoming European tour because of personal reasons. We’ve informed the venues about this and are thankful for their understanding. We will however play the first three upcoming shows in Gent, Enschede and Duisburg. We promise to try and set up a new European tour a.s.a.p.”

During the Snailhouse & Paper Tiger Tour our duopenotti-duo visited a radiostudio in Italy where they did some accoustic songs. One of wich is brand spanking new. There’s some youtube video’s of the performances, so go ahead and watch ‘em (there’s a snailhouse vid included).

Say no to beards, ladies! Read the rest of this entry »
