Keser tracks in Fringe Festival show 'En Route'

A couple of our tracks from Robo_Ghost will be used in the award-winning production 'En Route' at the Fringe Fesival 2010.

The show involves participants with iPods and mobile phones listening to a mix of audio narratives, found sound and local music as they are guided by phone calls and texts throughout the city. It aims to evoke a more engaged way of looking at the city and its people.

The Australian-based show was awarded Best Live Art at the Melbourne Fringe 2009 and Best Theatre Production at the Adelaide Fringe 2010.

The event is expected to be a hit and may sell out fast - for tickets and more info visit the En Route website.

Destination: Deutschland

Hey everybody, hope you're well. We're not long back from The Stu Fest in Bedford, it was a privilege to play and such a great turnout with all the funds going to charity.

We weren't very prepared for the heat when we got there, the hottest day of the summer so far. Bedford wasn't prepared either for our entourage of Glaswegians decending on them and showing them the ways of vodka and Irn Bru 32/Wee Beastie mixes! I heard a few people were looking for Ralph and Huey that night!

Me, Gav and the General Paul went along to the Connect Festival at the weekend there, saw a lot of great bands. At the moment we're rehearsing but looking forward to some nice cold Kristal Weizens very soon in Hamburg!
Take care, Kevan
