    Data dodania 2003-11-09Dodał TomashOn January 26th Century Media Records will release the special semi-acoustic live-album entitled "Sleepy Buildings - A Semi Acoustic Evening", live recorded on two exclusive gigs held in the beautiful LUX movie theatre and venue in Nijmegen (NL) on the 21st and 22nd of August 2003. The band played a fine selection of six albums, from the classic debut "Always", via the hit record "Mandylion" to the triprock of 'if_then_else', all moulded in modern and intimate versions to soothe the ear. The international audience, with people from Russia and South America!, turned completely speechless before a standing ovation rained upon the band. "Sleepy Buildings" puts a crown on the cooperation with Century Media Records and the already very impressive 14year international music carrier of THE GATHERING. The album gives a complete view on the wide range of the repertoire that the band composed over the years. THE GATHERING will promote this album with a special semi-acoustic tour starting February 2004. Concerts dates will follow!!!

    After a period of soul searching, Hugo came to the conclusion he wants to spend his time otherwise, taking on new challenges profession-wise and focus on his private life. He and his wife just had a beautiful baby girl. This means Hugo will end the year with THE GATHERING and does one last show which will be in 013 in Tilburg, Holland on the 16th of November. Of course the band wish him all good luck and happiness in the future!

    THE GATHERING went on a quest to find a suitable replacement for Hugo and luckily they did not have to search very far. They found a great replacement for Hugo in female bass player Marjolein Kooijman from Oss Holland, the place where most of the band come from and started their THE GATHERING career. Marjolein, a very nice person and a natural talent indeed, studies at the Dutch 'Rock Academy' in Tilburg. You will get a chance to meet her when THE GATHERING will tour around Europe after the release of "Sleepy Buildings" end of January 2004.
