She was born by the wild shores of Sintrania River and wandered across the coloured steppes that we all know with a small rabbit, awkward but pretty good at palindrome. Her mam told her : dance among the stars but never get bewitched by the moonlights, especially in november.
In the mean time, the last descendant of the Shugyosha from Hunkpapa valley travelled for centuries, riding a hudge flying buffalo, modestly called Athanor. He kept jealously the old secret of teaching bears how to sing the chromatic scale of D (rising and falling of course). Thats how he got famous.
They met yesterday, meaning 2001 years ago. They decided to create 21 Love Hotel one very special day, because it was the winds descending from the great mountains that spoke to them in low voices of better freedom.

Been awhile since I dropped by to say hello. Still a Darkly, Beautiful and entrancing band. Now there just seems to be a little more punch to your sound. It could just be my ears, or the emotional state i'm in at the moment but something about your sound has gotten bigger and better.
Je m en veux.. J en aurais loupé des concerts de 21 LOVE HOTEL.. A voir si jpasse par Paris cet hiver..?
Bravo pour votre succès (jpense à ce mini LP que vous sortez avec PIAS.. Nous notre disque qui sort à la rentrée est distribué en Espagne par Pias..justement !)
