Como noticia interesante comentaros que corre el rumor de que vamos a tener colaboraciones sorpresa en el disco, como la de Peter Holsapple y alguna lumbrera más del Rock underground americano. ¿Quien demonios es Peter Holsapple? (born February 19, 1956) formed, along with Chris Stamey, the singing, songwriting, and guitar-playing core of the dB's, a 1980's jangle-pop band from Winston-Salem, North Carolina. He became the band's principal songwriter and singer after Stamey's departure. The dB's were at the forefront of the guitar bands from the southeast in the 1980's along with R.E.M., Let's Active, etc. The dB's never achieved the prominence of R.E.M. but was critically recognized and is still greatly appreciated today. The band, with Stamey back in the fold, has reformed with new material in 2005-2006. Holsapple was born in Greenwich, Connecticut, moving with his family to North Carolina in 1962. He played in bands since 1964, professionally since 1970. His band Rittenhouse Square with Mitch Easter, Chris Stamey and Bobby Locke released an independent album in 1972. When Rittenhouse broke up, Holsapple joined future dB's drummer Will Rigby and several other high school friends in Little Diesel, a proto-punk rock band that ran against the tastes of Southern rock. Little Diesel's album No Lie (produced by Chris Stamey in 1974) was released on twenty 8-track cartridges, and it was finally re-released in 2006 on Telstar Records. College broke the band up, but Holsapple continued to write and sing, eventually moving to New York from Memphis, where he'd recorded at Sam Phillips Studio with Big Star engineer Richard Rosebrough, three months into the dB's existence. He joined as keyboard player and backing vocalist, but he quickly began submitting his songs, playing guitar and singing lead vocals alongside Stamey. After the dB's broke up in 1988, Holsapple worked as a full-time guitarist and keyboardist for R.E.M. on the Green world tour. He participated in the writing and development, as well as the recording of their 1991 multi-platinum release, Out of Time, but subsequently left R.E.M. due to disputes over songwriting credits [1]. Holsapple subsequently joined Hootie and the Blowfish as an auxiliary member. Holsapple joined the Continental Drifters (no longer extant), for whom he had first produced some demos and the Nineteen Ninety-Three album. The band was originally based out of Los Angeles but the members eventually relocated to New Orleans. The band included members of the Dream Syndicate, the Bangles and the Cowsills. They went on to record three well-received albums, an EP of Sandy Denny and Richard Thompson covers, and several tribute album tracks that unfortunately did not translate into a lot of sales. In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, Holsapple relocated from New Orleans to Durham, North Carolina. In 1991, he and Stamey reunited to record an album entitled Mavericks. Holsapple also has one solo album, 1997's Out of My Way which is out of print. In September of 2005, the classic line-up of the dB'S performed two shows in Chicago and two in Hoboken, New Jersey. December 2006 brought Stamey-Holsapple Christmas shows in North Carolina. The Bowery Ballroom in NYC hosted the dB'S in January 2007, and in February 2007 the dB's made a brief appearance at Cat's Cradle in Carrboro NC. A new album is expected as well.

Ya tenemos fecha para lo que será la grabación de los nuevos temas de Insanity Wave. En Julio de este año, partimos rumbo a Estados Unidos, para repetir producción con el legendario Mitch Easter, en sus estudios The Fidelitorium en Carolina del Norte (una de las 13 colonias británicas secesionistas y el hogar de la primera colonia británica en las Américas) Van a ser catorce días de sudor y Rock’n’Roll insano. ¡Os iremos informando hermanos del metal! ¿Quién demonios es Mitch Easter? Born November 15, 1954 in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, Easter was deeply involved in music from an early age. He played in a number of school bands, some of them with his childhood friend Chris Stamey. The two eventually formed The Sneakers, who released a number of singles and an album in the late 1970s. Stamey and fellow bandmate Will Rigby eventually formed The dB's and moved to New York. Easter did likewise, but soon returned to Winston-Salem to set up Drive-In Studio in his parents' garage. Drive-In Studio became an integral part of the local indie-rock scene, recording a number of bands at knock-down rates. It was at this time that Easter formed Let's Active with then-girlfriend Faye Hunter and drummer Sara Romweber. Around the same time, Easter worked with R.E.M. to record their debut single Radio Free Europe. This initial work led to a number of collaborations with the band, with Easter producing their debut EP and (with Don Dixon) their first two albums. Let's Active toured with R.E.M., which led to a recording contract with I.R.S. Records. Weathering several line-up changes, Let's Active released an EP and three albums before splitting up. Easter had by then become known primarily as a producer, and worked with a number of artists, some of them perhaps because of his influence on the early R.E.M. His production credits include recordings by Pavement, Game Theory, Marshall Crenshaw, Velvet Crush, Richard Barone, Ken Stringfellow (of The Posies), and The Loud Family. Easter's current studio is The Fidelitorium near Winston-Salem. Mitch Easter's first solo album in 18 years, Dynamico, was released on March 13, 2007.
