It Ain't Easy Bein' a Gypsy Queen




the band wraps up the week
~ with another trip to London today
~ their schedule is always full
~ and often involves flying or driving
~ great distances ~ to please their growing audience

~ and that means passports ~ and tickets
~ and Customs ~ and euro/pound exchanges
~ and waiting ~ and rushing ~ and waiting again

~ then they must be at peak form
~ to give the highly energetic ~ exciting shows
~ that have become their signature style


~ that makes for a great deal of fun
~ but it's also makes for a great deal of work
~ and ~ even in their off hours
~ they are working on new songs
~ and new arrangements
~ with tight, carefully planned harmonies


~ so their moments of relaxation
~ are very important to them
~
~ it's not a lifestyle for everyone
~ and there were some personnel changes
~ before the group reached the unusual blend of talents
~ and musicianship ~ and comraderie ~ that they now enjoy
~
~ here's a video ~ from a previous incarnation
~ that highlights the superb vocal harmonies
~ and musicianship of David, Manuel and Didi
~
~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~
~ however ~ it's not ALL hard work
~ and ~ this Friday, November 13th
~ they will fly to French Polynesia ~ for two weeks
~ to play to fans ~ on the other side of the world !!

French Polynesia
With her world famous islands such as Tahiti, Moorea, and Bora Bora among many, French Polynesia is a preserved paradise on Earth, made of islands that cover over two million square miles of the South Pacific Ocean. Breathtaking beauty, mystic islands, crystal clear lagoons, pristine environments, inhabitants’ warmth, sensational activities, remote islands exploration…

~ and the guys are all set to rock and roll ~ in Bora Bora !!
~ "PSP, Ipod touch, Ipod nano, Nintendo DS, Mini laptop, New book.... I am so ready for a 30 hour flight to tahiti !!!" ~ Jason

~ we hope to bring you news and photos

~ of this hard working band

~ enjoying the sands of the South Pacific !!

~ so ~ stay tuned !!
