AFTER THE BIG SUCCESS OF "PLANET EARH?" : NEW STUDIO ALBUM DUE FOR JANUARY 2011

18:23 Edit This
Hi everybody,
another short update. First of all, our best summer whishes to everyone.
Then a big thank you to all who showed up in Bilston, UK... we've had a great time !


The Watch are still very busy, on the live side before the summer break, the band will play at the ex-prog festival, headlining sunday playing after Tony Levin. But the big announcement is about a new studio album, that will be released in January 2011, we are all very excited !!

It will be a new experiment: The Watch have taken some very old GENESIS songs from '69 and '70, tracks From Genesis to Revelation period and turned them into some The Watch unique style tunes, riarranging and adding brand new parts, giving these wonderful very early days compositions a new life..!!

This is the new challange for the band and these days some drums recording sessions have already taken place at TW studio in Milan.

Big news about this project still have to be revealed, so please stay tuned, it's an honour that after the big success of Planet Earth ? that's still growing, we are able to give you another studio album in a reasonable time...

cheers!
The Watch

Hi everybody,
we would like to thank all the people who showed up at these last gigs...
it's been great once again and a pleasure to spend a night together with the music we all love.


We proudly will perform at the Genesis event France this coming week end, we'll meet our friends John and Nick and it'll be a great pleasure to meet Steve as well... John will join us on stage on some songs!

We are also proud to be in Bavaria for the first time, after the beauty of Provence last week, another wonderful area like Bavaria on our gig list... !!

Then we'll get to the north, Finland and Estonia... really looking forward to it !!

After a gig in Stuttgard, where we were forced to cancel a previous show, we'll get to the UK but before we'll play in Arlon, Belgium, where we hope to give the chance to all who were forced to stay out of the venue in Mons, due to a quick sold out after tickets were put on sale, to attend the show... we'll wait for you there !!

So, hope to meet you all soon !!!
thanks,
The Watch
