Spring is here at last! Skirts get shorter, hairdos change, flowers are in bloom. And the trees are just about to bear fruit.
And so is our own little tree, the one we planted six months ago.

The six months it took for the village to actually become a town, although we’re not yet tired of building.

“How Could a Village Turn Into a Town” introduced us to the melancholy beauty of the fall in the European continent. Stages were our homes, the windows on the van our eyes on the world.
This last winter flashed by us while we were travelling up and down Italy and beyond.
We jumped, danced and sweated with you. We played. We shape-shifted, experimented, tore down the same barriers we had put up ourselves. And with each step we knew we had you by our side.
You, who helped us with the My Awesome Mixtees project (30 limited edition T-shirts, created by 30 European designers), who sent in your comic strips, who supported us among the buildings in the Hearts to Lend video and filled the venues we played.
You deserves our wholehearted thanks and a world of gratitude.

This is why we decided to build and give you a whole new section of the My Awesome Mixtape town.
A two-track digital single, previously unreleased, written, played, produced and recorded entirely by us.
A cover. A song we recorded to remind ourselves of when we were little, silly and thoughtless.

Take this for what it is: a gift (the price of download, as the sages said, is up to you) and also a snapshot of what My Awesome Mixtape are at this exact moment in time.
A band on the run.

The digital single is also an excuse to announce the new European tour, which starting April will take us back to our beloved Germany and beyond, and a new EP – analogic, so to speak, this time – containing the two new tracks along with remixed tracks from “How Could a Village Turn into a Town”, made by musicians and DJs outside our habitual sphere of reference, and a few new special versions.
A way to prolong the life of an album we have loved and still love very much, and which in September 2010 will be re-released in France, Principality of Monaco, Andorra, Benelux and… who knows where else?

In the meantime, let’s enjoy the spring and wait for the summer.
Together again. On stage again.
