As we are currently recording the new album I bring you some news about the band's future. After considering about the new direction I have made my decision to retire Jann Wilde & The Neon Comets and continue working with the fellas under a new moniker. The Velvet Beat.
The main reason for this re-naming is my personal wish to drop the name Jann Wilde from the band's name to give us more freedom to perform and release our music more democratically. I will use the name Jann Wilde for my more personal projects as well as my upcoming book and whenever I perform as myself.
Personally I think one album with Jann Wilde & Rose Avenue and one album with Jann Wilde & The Neon Comets is just fine. Now it's time to head to venues with something new and interesting. The line-up will remain the same except bassist Atheos who has played with us since July is now a permanent member of the group.
For those who worry about musical direction and changes in set list I'm happy to tell you that nothing can stop us playing the old songs as long as they are written and sung by Mr.Wilde ;)
We are happy to see a good year go towards a good end. Again we will be playing our Christmas Show in the Moscow Megasphere - and that really makes us happy. The Moscow crowd is one of the best in the world and we would love to have you all with is. It's gonna be one hell of a rock party!
Our website has undergone major updates at the moment, but it's back and we highly recomment that you pick up your free Single and DVD "Chase the Dragon" and tell us what you think.
In the meantime Rozencrantz is back in the studio, working on brand new material.
