| The Anekdoten Newsletter #1,
May 1997 Greetings & Welcome to the first Anekdoten newsletter! We have had an official connection to the Internet for about a year now and we felt that it was about time to introduce the Anekdoten newsletter as a means for us to reach out with news and information about the band. We apologize to all of you who have not received a reply to your email-inquires, but we hope that this forum together with the continously updated Anekdoten website will provide you with answers to some of the questions you have. Please don't stop writing to us eventhough we might be slow in replying. Your opinions are always appreciated! NUCLEUS PICTURE-DISC LP The Nucleus picture-disc LP will be released on Wednesday the 15th of May by Record Heaven. STOCKHOLM PROGRESSIVE FESTIVAL Record Heaven is also in the process of putting together the Stockholm Progressive festival. The venue will be Folkoperan and the festival will run between the 29th and 31st of August (with the last day being the "convention day"). The tentative programme will be as follows: FRIDAY 29 AUGUST Lucifer Was Anekdoten Standarte SATURDAY 30 AUGUST Höyry-kone Darxtar Pär Lindh Project Gong (not 100% confirmed) OTHER GIGS Please note that the tentative gigs that are listed in our gig-section on the homepage *are* tentative. However, we are happy to announce that both the Stockholm Progfest and the Tokyo-gigs at On Air West on the 11th and 12th of October have now moved to a confirmed status. HÖYRY-KONE Peter Nordins was in Finland a while ago and played drums on two tracks on the upcoming Höyry-kone CD "Huono Parturi". He has now gone to Finland to rehearse with the band as he will be performing with them on their upcoming European-tour. These are the Höyry-kone gig-dates: - Saturday 17 May: Festival International de Musique Universitaire(FIMU), Belfort, France - Sunday 18 May: AKW, Frankfurterstrassse 87, Wurzburg, Germany - Friday 23 May: Magazin 4, Rue du Magasin, 1000 Brussels, Belgium(with Present) THE ANEKDOTEN HOMEPAGE There has been some updates made to the homepage in the last week and we will continue to update it with new stuff on a regular basis. A guestbook and a lyrics-section will be added and we will also add more pictures from tours and other events to the photo-gallery. At the time of writing we are in the process of revamping the lay-out of the pages, so the pages are not homogeneous at this point. CURRENT ACTIVITIES We have received some questions regarding the release of our third album. We are still far from going into the studio, but we are in the process of putting together material and we plan to start the recordings by the end of the year. All the best!
