I already mentioned Scott, our producer, is in town these days. Primarily to check the recordings made in NY and to extract the best ones. Today we're recording some guitars in a familiar spot: The Wisseloord studios in Hilversum. Funny story about that place to tell: our engineer back in NY (Neil Dorfsmann) once worked on the famous Hysteria record of Def Leppard here at the Wisseloord studios for months alongside the legendary producer Mutt Lange, husband of Shania Twain (name dropping, got good at that ever since we've been in NY). Neil told us the Wisseloord studio got his name from that legendary recording session. It lasted a staggering 3 years. The producer insisted the guitars were recorded string by string and drums had to be recorded at the nearby swimming pool because the sound was awesome. Those were the days. I suggested we'd do the same but unfortunately nobody fell for that… Anyway, at the Wisseloord we're on known territory because here's where we recorded the 'As Long As You Want This' album and the 'What if' was mixed here by Tim Palmer. Mind blowing exciting sessions of table tennis were played here during breaks with Tim. All won by us, off course. And b-sides, one with the longest title ever: 'Christmas Time Won't Be The Same Without You But Maybe Next Year It Will', and 'Moment Of Truth', were recorded here. Good to be back. µ
Two days later and three songs more. Today's Saturday and single 2 is almost finished. Everybody's excited! Sounds awesome. But we got a tight schedule and we're now working on track 4. Meanwhile girlfriends, buddies, record company friends, publishing mates and visual artists drop in. Amongst them Reyn, friend of the family, who played some string-music. Great to record in Holland but at the same time it's distracting. Different then recording in a studio on a mountain near Woodstock, where you gotta take in groceries for a week or take a stroll for 2 hours for that milk.
To be continued!

On the KANE myspace we can read up on a new update from Dennis :
Yesterday we played live at the show of Paul de Leeuw for the very first time in KANE history. Must admit, not bad at all. Just watched the show on tape and damn that new firebird I gave myself as a birthday present sounded awesome! ;-)
Gotta thank you guys as well for our number 2 entry in the charts! Dinand already thanked you guys but have to join in here too! Great. Really close finish there (2%!!!) so we'd almost popped the cork of the champagne bottle. In any case we'd better wait with doing that until the second single will be released, another part for sure! Really great you were there once again supporting us like you did. Think CATWALK CRIMINAL got a hold on you guys now doesn't it. Took some time, no prob. We already knew the song for a while. Once again, thanks for the support!
This week it's working back at home in The Netherlands. Producer Scott Jacoby should be stepping out the airplane as I write this. Dinand and Scott will take a listen at the recordings made at the All Aire Studio and we'll record some additional tracks. We're slowly finishing that recording proces. Still should take a while I guess what's always exciting I think. But one thing's for sure. It's gonna be one hell of a record!
Ok have a nice day and see you soon! Gr dennis

Fuck…. freezing here! Nice blue sky, views go on to Canada with frozen lakes and tones of snow. Walking in a winter wonderland is what hey call this I think. We're back in Woodstock. Home of many but also the All Aire Studios . In the next few days we'll finish of drum, bass and basic recordigs. Nope not quite finished yet. Long way to go. Heading there. That's for sure. Far from home. In the middle of nowhere, in one of the nicest studios we've ever been. Catwalk Criminal has been released today. For now online and on Friday in stores. Feels kinda weird. I'm writing this from a room overviewing the mountains while back at home the single is being released. Hope you'll download it or go out and buy it on Friday. Just saying that 'because we're so proud of it. This is KANE in 2008. Every time I play Catwalk I'm thinking 'I wanna be in that band!' Which is good 'because they tell me I am ha, ha.And we could use your support. We've decided to take KANE to the edge. Where's the excitement in us, that unknown thing, that you know has been there all along? Ha, ha, that's in a way the definition of the next KANE record…number 4. How do we take it to the next level? With you guys at our side, we hope. So we try to create the best tracks. Which will be released on single. So you just gotta download ( uh uh not on limewire ha, ha) the new single or get it at your local (Dutch) store on Friday.
From Woodstock, to Catwalk, to you. Think it's time I shut up. For now ha, ha.
Adios Amigos,

We're doing just fine thanks. Exciting days for us now CATWALK CRIMINAL the first single of the new album was released on Dutch radio, on-line and Dutch tv on the 1th of January. No more working in the background on the new tracks, we got full exposure. The kick-off came at 10 minutes past midnight and working our asses off in New York to get everything finished on time. CATWALK CRIMINAL is , as you've noticed by now, a single that's got a totally new sound. Takes a bit of getting used to? Yeah sure does. Just listen to the track a few times, let it sink in. We're proud as hell of CAT WALK CRIMINAL and both Dennis and me got that 'damn I wanna be in that band' -feeling. Hope you feel it to. We also hope you feel the lay-outs/feel of the sites and new singles. For KANE it's a totally new flow, new inspiration. Same for you?
'Catwalk criminal', the new KANEsingle , has been released simultaneously on the radio, television and the internet on the 1st of January.
"the track is a good reflection of the state of mind of kane nowadays", according to lead singer Dinand Woesthoff . "It's sexy, classy, it rocks and 'it makes you wanna dance'." Guitarist Dennis van Leeuwen : "People who already got a chance to listen to some of our new material all say the same thing: 'it's obvious you guys are having fun.' That's pretty cool to me, because that's exactly what we wanna achieve"
