The last Tour weekend was going very well but i forgot my cam, so there a no pics from the last shows. The next shows the cam will be with us (i hope;-)

THU 29.11.2007, Graz(STMK) - Bollwerk
FR 30.11.2007, Dornbirn(VBG) - DISCO Stern

SU 2.12.2007, Haid/Ansfelden(OÖ) - Rathaussaal (Charity for Kinderkrebshilfe)

My first Homeshow with Steirerbluat is done and it was a great evening for us all! I was a bit nervous of course, because a lot of friends and musicians i know have been there. But the biggest surprise for me was, that my daughter Jana came to visit me, because i really had no idea that she would come to see us(me).

Tomorrow, Friday October 26th i will do my first Gig near my new Home with Steirerbluat at the Amadeus Dance Factory in Mauthausen!(Upper Austria). I hope and i'm looking forward to see a lot of friends and well known faces in the crowd!

My first Shows with Steirerbluat are done and for me it was a great new experience! I guess i did my job well and we also had a lot of fun on Stage!

Between the gigs we do some rehearsals in my house, because we are going to play some cool cover songs too and I will be the lead singer for the most of the songs.

Currently you cannot sign my guestbook because the company quit their work with it. Soon there will be a new guestbook!
Thank you for your understanding and patience!

Now its official! I am the new guitar player in the very well known Austrian Pop Band STEIRERBLUAT! I had the opportunity to meet the guys in Munich at the Photo shooting for the new Steirerbluat Album and it were great 2 days with them!
Now i have to practise the completely Live set in my rehearsal room which is a lot of work of course, but also a lot of fun:) Im lookin forward to be on tour with them from the beginning of october.

On Friday 21st of september i will do my last official Show in Lambach (UpperA) at the "Kinski Cafe" with Della Street. My last Show ever on Sept. 28th is a private Party not in Public.

So it would be great for me to see some well known faces and friends at this event:-)

I have to leave my "Baby" and Band Della Street in the end of September because of a brand new project and job as a guitar player.
But i still will do the booking, management and Website maintance for the DS guys who are still great friends for me!!

There are 2 new projects in which i am involved. First one is a "light version" of Della Street" which is an acoustic project and in the other one im working with a very talented female singer called LEA M. JONES in the near future.
In that project we also do some acoustic covers in pop/soul style and maybe some self written songs. So lets see what happens ;-) im lookin' forward to start work with LEA soon!

Hi there:)

I guess its time again for some news....sorry, but the last months were really busy for me. So let me think about what happened the last time.
First of all i want to tell u that i settled down in my new house with my girlfriend to a little village called Sankt Pantaleon. This village is near Sankt Valentin in Lower Austria, embedded in a really beautiful landscape.
Since March 2006 i had a lot to do with organisations and such stuff and control the building site as well. But now most of things are done and we already live in our new home, its a very beautiful house and we enjoy it!

Now to the Music. As you know im still touring with Della Street of course and at this time i will try to book some cool tours for the next year.

Ritchie and me also did the recordings for the first Karma Killer Album and we are looking forward to the next Show in Linz/Posthof at the Metal Overdose Festival. There are just some vocals we have to record and then our Sound Engineer KLAUS will start the mixing thing.

So thats the most of my news i guess and i hope i'll see you on the road!

best regards, Michael

Hi there!

Yesterday we made it possible to get all of our six musicians of the Karma Killer project tamporally at the same time on the same place and we did the first rehearsal! We worked on 4 Songs and finished these already up to one! With such musicians to operate really it is the purest joy! But above all times again own material to carry out, with musicians those highest measure of ability and professionalism bring
along, is simply great! Everyone enjoyed the work and did have a lot of fun. The next rehearsal date is scheduled already and we are looking forward to continue working on that.

I wish all of you a happy, healthy and successful new year!

Your's sincerly, Michael

Hey!

Finally the name for our project "Karma Killer" is available now!...wooohooo! We already registered the domain Karmakiller.net. There was just 1 band who used that name...but in the past, that means, this band(s) dont still exist. For the near future im thinkin about to reserve the national trade rights for this name in austria and germany.
The first rehearsals will start in the first 2 weeks of december and im lookin forward to hear the first results with this great line up!

Cya soon, Michael

Thanks so far and cu on the road! Michael

Hi again!

After a conversation with my singer Ritchie we decided to look for an other drummer for the KARMA KILLER project, cause bern seems to be very busy in the near future.
Now there is a very, very talented guy i discovered in a local band. His name is SIMON GATTRINGER and he's an incredible drummer! We asked him if he would be interested to join that projekt and after hearing a couple of songs he agreed. And now a little surprise....a good friend of mine and amazing guitar player called MARIO STERNS who also plays in Simon's Band, was also interested into our project and we asked him too if he would like to join us. We have a meeting next sunday evening to talk about the further way. The rehearsals will start as soon as possible!

Cya and keep on rockin', Michael
