The Watch - in the middle of the tour

18:15 Edit This


Hi everybody,

a long time since the last update of this blog... Facebook fault ! hehehe... but it's nice to be here just to tell you how much we're enjoying this tour ... all the gigs are great and it's really a great experience to hear and read all the feedbacks you are leaving... so please don't stop hehe... great reward for us.

We're on the verge of playing in Goteborg on friday and Tallin and saturday, a quick return back home and then England again.. and then France and Spain !! One of the very first time in Spain... that's great.

But tomorrow, before we leave we'll have a quick lunch with one of our all time heroes: Mr Steve Hackett. Simone and Giorgio will lead him to a nice restaurant and they will have food all together... Steve is such a nice and gentle man.. Steve will then perform in Milan a full band concert.

Giorgio has also taken part to John Hackett and Nick Magnus new album, another great experience for him !

So hope to meet you on the road, we'll have already great news about summer with some gigs in Italy and in autumn the band will hit USA and Canada again ! But will tell you more later..

thanks a lot!
Cheers
The Watch

Release date for new album "Timeless"

19:38 Edit This



Hi there,

the new album "Timeless" will be released on monday 21st Feb !!

Barely one year after "Planet Earth" comes "Timeless", the brand new studio album from The Watch.
Hot off an extensive tour in 2010 which touched most of Europe and the USA and Canada, ("The Watch plays Genesis") in which the band merged their own music with some Genesis classics for a unique result that has been defined as a must also for all Genesis fans, The Watch are back with a new studio breakthrough: borrowing themes from Genesis's very first album "From Genesis to Revelation" and re-shaping them to create brand new songs bound to become classics. Keeping the original musical flavour that allowed the very young members of Genesis to prove their talent to the world, but adding the typical musical flair and energy people know and love from The Watch.

The result is a 10 song album, 7 original songs and 3 reinterpretations of very early '69 - '70 Genesis tracks. On one of these John Hackett, Genesis's guitarst brother, joins the band with his flute and another one is a great performance of Genesis's Stagnation, taken from the 2010 shows giving newcomers an idea of how incredible and "timeless" that music and this band can sound when performing Genesis. Don't take our word for it! It has to be heard to be believed!
