September had us echoing inside an empty pool. Now we’re gearing up for a support slot and heading into the studio this November.
Pool Party?
It’s official: Summer’s over. How fitting is it then to perform in an empty pool at a friend’s private festival in Gmunden (Upper Austria)?
Dan and I travelled without the rest of the band this time (everyone was still on holiday). During our song “The Museum”, we were joined by a friend on the banjo ❤️
The audience was very attentive and enthusiastic overall — and we both agreed that this was one of our favourite small gigs!
Goodbye, Raspberry Soda
Some of you might have seen our Insta post:
We’re saying goodbye to our label Raspberry Soda.
Paulina Parvanov, our manager since last year, has now started a job at Austrian Music Export in a role through which she represents Austrian artists abroad. This means, she needs to be independent and cannot look after her own bands any longer.
We are, of course, sad to see her go but are equally very happy for her to have landed this excellent job!
It’s amazing to look back at what we’ve achieved since we joined forces with Paulina in April 2024!
With her guidance, we played festivals abroad, released our debut album and were aired on international radio stations. There were so many opportunities that arose because of her relentless work — chances we would have never dreamed of having!
And of course, we had lots of fun together!
We also asked Paulina for her favourite moment with us:
“One of my absolute favourite moments as an artist manager was the premiere of the ERNST single “Don’t Buy It” on BBC — the joy of having achieved a career milestone together.
And seeing the development from the first live show at Replugged to festival slots in Manchester and Croatia. I will miss traveling and planning together with the ducklings.”
Paulina Parvanov
Thanks so much, Paulina, for believing in us!
New songs in preparation
On a happier note: We’re back in the studio in November!
Having developed some potential new songs since our songwriting retreat, we’re excited to be recording once again with Mario Fartacek who produced our album “Mere Illusions”.
Stay tuned for more updates!
