I am really focusing my energies on a few specific things right now. I am spending what little spare time I have on intense spiritual practices, a new health treatment, and writing. This takes lots of energy, so I won’t be able to read emails. I am very sorry about this. I know I suck. Your letters are so sweet and touching. I am honored you take the time to write. But I must give all my energy to spiritual and physical healing and writing insights and music.

I consider myself a rogue bicyclist. And what is that, you ask ? Well it's many things and different things. It's someone who rides their bike all winter even through the snowdrifts....but I dont do that. It's a weird artist who transforms their bike into an artpiece... but mine is only like found object art. Yes I dressed it up some at one time , but it remains a real beater, a junker, a beauty of a bike. A rougue bicyclist is someone who marches to a different drill sergent in their head. It's someone who doesnt comply with normal standards....but they might. I can spot one a block away, but I might not be their friend. I might fall in love with one, but they might ride right by, lost in their own particular worlds. They might be a business person, or a the girl who looks 25, but is really 65, and collects old paper bags in her wire-baskets-on-old-blue-schwinn. Whoever they are, I can usually pick them out because they have a passion for riding that surpasses the destination-oriented ride. Not the week-end riders for pleasure, but the everyday rider in the rain, steeled to the wind, layered-for-the-weather riders. They think about things differently as they glide along with a certain confidence that comes from years of riding...even if they have only ridden a few days. There is an ease of penetrating the air that gives a rogue bicyclist their edge. You see them and think they might be freaks, and you're probably right. It's a mind-set, a mind-meld, a mind fuck. It feels like breathing or flying. It smells like oil and grease, and streets, and cars, and sweat. It fills the holes of pain we all live with. It settles the nerves of a day gone bad. It relieves the stress of the human equation. Many rogues share similarities. I have gotten the nod, and given the nod to many, like myself, cruising along no-handed as if held to the road by a rail, turning corners and manuvering hills, all with out the aid of hands on handlebars. - (Read more)

Joseph Arthur will simultaneously release two new albums in the UK, Nuclear Daydream and Let’s Just Be, on September 3. The albums will be preceded by the UK release of a single ‘Enough To Get Away’, taken from Nuclear Daydream, on August 27.

The band started out back in 2002 as Marc (Vocals/Guitar), Trikke (Drums) and Johan (Bass) got together to start a band on their own. Gilles (Guitar) joined the band a few months later as he was a close friend of Johan. Several months later Fré joined the band at the keys. Everything went great and they had lots of fun playing together, untill Johan (Bass) decided to leave the band to work on his solo-project. Several bass-players followed him, but none of them stayed for a long time. After some time Fré decided to leave the keys for what it was and to pick up a bass instead. Anno 2006 Kanuz recorded a new demo called 'Run Behind' and is ready to do some live gigs!
Kanuz brings you their own songs and from time to time a well suited cover. They are influenced by several pop/rock bands like Radiohead, Coldpay, The Pixies, etc. - (Read more)
