Time to move on to the next record

It's already been 5 months since we've released our debut album "The King Lost His Pink". It's time to move on to the next record. After all the joy and excitement we've had for our previous album, we'll soon be away from stage, locking ourselves up in studio once again, to work on new materials for our next record.

Meanwhile we'll be having only 2 more upcoming gigs, including the TIME OUT'S BIG NIGHT OUT on 24 APRIL featuring the Time Out's top 10 indie acts in town, and the LE FRENCH MAY MUSICAL SHOWDOWN 2010 on 5 JUNE featuring famous acts from France including THE TEENAGERS, WAX TAILOR and COCOON.

Catch us if you can, as you won't be seeing us around in a while very soon.

Feel like I was right next to you

I used to google "CHOCHUKMO" regularly, not for ego-searching, but mostly for any released review, press, or comments. But what interested me the most are, the different blogs of strangers that talks about Chochukmo. Well, it might sound freaky but when i wasn't too busy, I would clicked into those blogs to see what they were talking about. And this is how I've been reading many different touching stories.

"A girl spent her lonely valentine's day with 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 TO YOU. Another girl doing her final sprint on her revision the night before her exam, with the cheering of HEAD TO TOE. A guy/girl who feel his/her peace when he/she's listening to TILL LATE NO MAY. And more."

All those stories might sound ordinary, might sound routine or not special at all. But to me, all those stories are touching. I did feel like i was next to them, sharing those particular moments. We didn't really know each others, but because of the music, we're somehow connected. It's a connection which goes beyond time and space. It's a bonding among us which is precious. This is the music I always love to write, the music that can actually talk to people, and connect with people.
