We wish all our friends a happy new year!

Finally we found some time to collect the reviews of our first DVD. Sadly there is none in English available, if you know of one please tell us (info at arilyn dot de).

This year we want to do much more with the band. The songs for the new CD are nearly finished and we hope to start recording soon.

What to do if the possibilities to play live getting rarer and rarer? Easy: You have to organize your own concert. That's why we the did the first Fo(u)r Friends Festival this year. 4 bands rocked till late at night. Some pictures of the Arilyn gig are now online.

Slow but steady the first reviews of our new Live DVD are rolling in. So far only german sites, the international ones take as usual a little bit longer. But if you want you can start up your Babelfish:

Unbelievable how time flies. It feels like we came back from our England tour yesterday but it is already February 2009. The stuff to report from that time already piles up so here we go: Eduardo Capella our guitar immigrant-worker had to return to Brasil to his monkeys. Those poor animals were so sad about his absence so we had to let him go...
To have a look back at the great time you can now have a look at the pictures of our last gig with Eduardo:

Pictures Rhumbar / Landau

Also there's an interview with Paul Baker back from our England tour. The content is a little bit outdated due to Eduardo's leave but it is still fun to listen to:

All the best for your further live, Eduardo!

But now we tasted blood with extending the band. We are already rehearsing with a new guitar player. We can't tell you anything so far, but it looks (and sounds) really good!

As a present from us there are now tons of pictures of our England tour online.

Here we go:

Additionally there's also a new video up on Youtube:

After 11 days of tour craziness we are back in Germany! The English weather really tried it's best to make us stay because we couldn't leave the town due to street flooding. But after discovering secret roads (call it cow trails) described by a weird old lady who titled us love, sweetheart and pretty little girl (huh?) we managed even this.

Once again we made a lot of new friends especially the guys of The Dreaming Tree which are the English edition of Arilyn in regards to craziness. Their cover version of "Take Off" which they played for us at the last gig blew our minds!
The styles of both bands fit nicely together. Don't forget to check out their web page and Myspace page. Go listen and make friends with them!

For all the people who couldn't attend the shows here is a first impression what you did miss:

Thanks to all the people who supported us on the tour and watched our shows!
Especially Rob Gould our never tired tour manager!

Pictures of all the shows will follow soon.

After 10 years of playing on stages all over Europes and releasing 3 albums, ARILYN will release their first LIVE DVD on November the 3rd. The DVD named Live in England contains the complete legendary gig at the Rotherham Rocks Festival 2005. Further the DVD provides an insight into the backstage world and will show Arilyns private tour diary. Together with a lot of specials like slideshows, another live performance from the England Tour 2006, a german tv performance and the making of the latest ARILYN album Alter Ego this DVD is a good chance to see ARILYN how they are and what the boys see and feel when they go crazy on the road.

You can already watch the trailer online:

Our England tour OK UK 08 starts next week!

The sad news is that the Mood Basement in Buxton closed down this week. In the owners own words: JUST TO MESSAGE ALL OF YOU AND TO SAY GOODBYE TO EVERYONE WHO CAME INTO MOOD AND HAD A GOOD TIME. YOU WILL ALL BE MISSED AND I'M SURE YOU WILL MISS DRINKING IN MOOD.

SORRY GUYS. SIMON@MOOD

The Mood was a great location at which we played a fabulous gig last year. RIP.

Due to our never tired tour manager Rob Gould the venue for the gig has been quickly switched to:

The Eagle, Buxton (only two doors away :-))

The other great news is that Eduardo Capella will join us on guitar during the tour. Eduardo was a former member of the well known Brasilian Prog Metal Band Ashtar. This will give us the possibilty to perform some songs from our albums live that we couldn't reproduce so far.

We hope to see you at the gigs!

Straight after our England tour in October we are playing one of our rare gigs in Germany!

All our fans who looked full of envy to the isle can now enjoy the usual Arilyn craziness at the Rhumbar in Landau. Join the (Halloween) party at the 31st October together with Chainbrook.

More infos as usual in the Live section.

17.10.08 Southampton
18.10.08 London
19.10.08 New Mills
23.10.08 Buxton
24.10.08 Telford

More Infos

You may have already asked yourselve why there was no news on this site for quite a while. It was simply impossible because we drowned in work!

At first there is to report that we have founded the ugliest band in the world: The Krauts The Krauts offer and want only one thing: Fun (and of course more Kraut!)

Neverthless there is also lots of news about Arilyn:

In October our first live DVD should appear and we work hard to hold the deadline! More infos soon.

In addition, Arilyn will tour again in October through England! This time we will also tour the south stands including locations like Southampton and London.

Because we still couldn't get enough we also started to write new songs which will hopefully end up on a new CD planned for the next year.

So stay tuned for a hot autumn!

There are now a couple of Pictures from our gig in the Rhumbar / Landau online.

At short notice we play on the 5th April in the Rhumbar in Landau. Happy Easter!

Rapidly we started into the new year with our visit at the Best-Of-The-Year Awards of the Classic Rock Society in England. As usual, we learnt many new things, e.g. that being gay is not a crime. Well, one never finishes learning. The proof photos are now Online.
