Tuesday 25. May 2010 Silvia leaves saphena
Due to health issues in the last months and to our regret, it became impossible for Silvia to play bass in saphena. Within nine years, she shaped this band with her musical skills and her personality and helped to make it what it is now for all of us. She will still be part of our collective and we will listen to and appreciate her opinion. We wish Silvia that she can follow her musical passion in another form and thank her for nine unforgettable years.
Further, we are very happy to announce a new man on bass who already pushed us forward a big step. Joki Schaller, who produced and played on our upcoming album, was a friend of the band already before. Welcome Joki with us, we are looking forward to busy times ahead.

Wednesday 01. July 2009 New Album, New Bass, Freakstock on Friday
We are moving, straight to a new chapter of the band. All of us are working intensively to get the new record done as soon as possible and enter the stage again. Unfortunately, Silvia can’t play bass for a while but we found an excellent replacement. We send a very warm welcome to Joki, who some of you might know from semtex and Imaginary War. He will also be the producer of our upcoming album. The first rehearsal together was a blast and we are finding our new sound. The new songs kick ass and we can’t wait to let you hear.
Studio
In September, we enter the studio and will record 10 tracks which are almost finished by now. Of course it’s all harder, faster and better now J. We will let you hear soon.
Till then we’re playing some shows and work harder than ever.
Love
saphena
