2011 was a wonderful year for us. Our Australian tour was a great success.
We recorded Melbourne concert (September 25, 2011) and now Plasma Records is releasing it worldwide except Moviebox is distributing it in the UK and Europe.
The audio is already out, the video will follow shortly.
Here is a song from this upcoming release which coincidentally is very appropriate for this occasion. Enjoy!
May your 2012 will be full of excitement and happiness.
