2A new interview has just been put up on emusic.com, mostly dealing with the first Vert album, The Köln Konzert.

3 I’m happy to announce the imminent premiere of the Vert band in Russia.  First, we have been contacted by agency or agencies unknown to provide expert consultation on the current, problematical plague of giant crabs in Murmansk.  As a front for this highly confidential work, we will appear at the Dialog Festival there on the 18th of March.

Once our work in Murmansk is finished, there are urgent matters requiring our attention in Saint Petersburg, matters which — despite their urgency — leave us free in the evenings for performances at Decadance on the 22nd, and Maina on the 23rd.
