New Synth Player
|
|
We are very happy to announce our new synth player: Ruben Marrenga! Before joining Kowai, Ruben played in the symphonic metal band Vanadis.
Ruben:
‘I’m very grateful that Kowai decided to choose me as their new synth player and I’m looking forward to rocking and living our dreams together. From the moment I was invited to audition I knew what a great opportunity this was. Musically I think we really match because I’ve been into female fronted metal for years and have experience writing and performing in that genre with Vanadis. Next to the piano, I’ve studied history and I’m currently working in telecommunications. I’m sure Kowai will find the right musical support in me and next to that I think I’ll be a sociable and fun band member!’
Ruben will be replacing Daphne Alberda, who could no longer combine Kowai with her other activities. We thank Daphne for her contribution and the great times we’ve had together and wish her all the best. We welcome Ruben into the Kowai family! |

Interviews, gigs and recordings
|
|
After the demo-review from our South American friends earlier this year, a new piece of Kowai media is available for the Chilean public! Laura gave an interview about Kowai and herself. A version for the English speaking among us is available in our press section.
Furthermore, we are happy to announce two new gigs! First we will be supporting the CD release party of "Breathe", the new album of Only Fate Remains, on Friday the 14th of October. This night will start at 20:30 in PopEi in Eindhoven, and will have no entrance fee. Moreover, we will support Stream of Passion in De Spot in Middelburg on the 5th of November. Tickets are available through De Spot's website.
Last, but not least, we are happy to announce that we have started the preparing stages for the recording of our first full-length album! The songs are all done, and we are currently in contact with several producers, to see who can provide the best for Kowai. Expect timely updates on the album's status, with perhaps even some sneak previews thrown in here and there! |

Kowai wins IJsselpop and Demo Review from Chile!
|
|
Last friday Kowai battled in the finals of the IJsselpop-contest, in which a number of bands could earn a spot in the line-up for the IJsselpop-festival. We're proud to announce that we were one of the bands that made it! Together with the band Ch4nge and two to-be-determined-later-bands, we'll be playing at the Highlands location on the 17th of september. Beware! IJsselpop will not be held at the Podium location as was the case in previous years.
Furthermore, a South-American metal website has reviewed our demo 'Prelude', almost two years after it's release. For those who can read Spanish, go over here to give it a read. And for those who can't, a translation is available at our review section. |
