Dawnrise recording 'As You Leave'

Revolver Support Show

Just got back from Revolver support show at the Berlin PrivatClub - cool gig at a great location supporting a quality band - nice! If you were there, thanks very much for coming along, hope you enjoyed our back-to-basics set! Dennis and I stuck firmly to our guitars - the first time songs like As You Leave and PrenzlauerFlowerPower have been done without the keys ... kind of nerve-wracking for us, but a hell of a lot of fun too, obviously. Revolver are heading back to their native Paris tomorrow, and we were glad of the opportunity to warm up the audience for their final German show. Au revoir fellas.

A Sad Story of A Barn, a Beam and Two Broken Feet ...

New songs online!!

Hi Everyone,

We're in the studio working on new songs right now, but we don't want to keep y'all waiting too long, so we've uploaded two new tracks at Facebook and at MySpace. Hope you like them, 'cos we sure do :)

See you soon,

Dennis, Jesse, Jason, Steve

Our bassist is down!

Hi Folks. Unfortunately, Jason our bass player has had a nasty accident and broken the Calcaneus bone in both his feet ... He's in hospital for the time being and will be out of action for a few weeks. Luckily, we had recording planned and as such no gigs will have to be cancelled. We'll keep you updated on Jason's progress here and at Facebook!

See you all soon,

Steve, Jesse and Dennis

Junction Bar Gig

Great gig last night at the Junction Bar last night. Alex Amsterdam had fun getting the crowd warmed up. And warm they were indeed when Alex strode up to sing an acoustic encore of The Foofighters 'Learn to Fly' accompanied by our singer Dennis. Nice work lads.

We started the set with Dawnrising and then moved on to new versions of The Alchemist, Forget the World is Dying and As You Leave with Dennis fronting the band for the first time in Germany. Here's a battered setlist (note inclusion of capo and key changes - you can't be too careful)

The set closed with It Shows What We Are and I Won't Let You Fall - we're shooting a video for the former next week so look out for that on the website soon!

Big thanks to all who came for being such an enthusiastic audience - we'll be seeing you all soon!

Tomorrow Night - Live @ Junction Bar with Alex Amsterdam

First things first: thanks very, very much for becoming Dawnrise fans on Facebook (if you haven't done it yet - you should)! We really appreciate the support, and we’re looking forward to putting on some great shows and bringing out more tracks for you in the next few months.

But the main point: we’re playing live tomorrow night in Berlin’s famous Junction Bar. Support will be coming in the shape of Alex Amsterdam – check out his website at www.alex-amsterdam.de to hear his unique indie-pop sound. Our latest addition, Danish singer Dennis Bengtsson, has already made waves with his amazing voice, and after shows in Denmark and Poland, we’re back to hit Berlin with some new songs and more energy than ever!

It would be great to see you there!

Best wishes,

Dennis, Jason, Jesse and Steve
