Skyclad sera en concert à la Locomotive à Paris le 20 Février 2007. Tornaod assurera une première partie et il devrait y avoir un ou deux autres groupes sur l'affiche. Elianor organise une nouvelle fois cet évènement. Bravo à eux! Attendons néanmoins la confirmation définitive avant de nous enflammer.
Sinon, en dehors de ça le groupe compose le nouvel album (14 titres en travaux, aucun complètement finis) et devrait jouer un ou deux nouveaux titres au concert de février. Enfin, le groupe est en contacts avancés avec 3 ou 4 labels.

Ca, ça le fait ^^
Sinon le groupe finit la démo de son nouvel album d'ici quinze jours et finalisera prochainement un contrat avec un label avant de passer aux choses sérieuses.
Sinon, je vais sans doute dire une connerie mais tant pis je me lance : Skyclad n'a jamais essayé d'approcher les festivals celtiques / bretons / folk ? Avec la bonne base folk qu'ils ont ça pourrait être jouable non ? En plus les festivals de ce type y'a un max de personnes qui les fréquente.
Le groupe finit sa tournée (après de nombreux festivals dont le dong open air et le metieval festival entre autres).
Encore deux dates : une en russie et une en angleterre.
Après ça, le groupe finira de composer le nouvel album (sortie pour le printemps au plus tard).
Puis tournée (j'ai des rumeurs mais rien d'officiel ).
"Seeing as the site has been quiet for a while, we thought we should post a little note here to keep everyone informed as to all things SKYCLAD as we head towards the end of 2007. It has been, when all is said and done, quite a quiet and 'steady as you go' sort of year with just the usual round of gigs and festivals happening.
"There have been a few high points and a few 'firsts' that are worth mentioning, from playing some songs for the first time — such as 'Helium' and 'Bury Me' (both at the request of the relevant promoters for the Dong Open Air and the Metieval Fest respectively). It was the first time for the Metieval Fest in Beverley, in fact, and we look forward to returning there. There was also the first visit by SKYCLAD to Moscow, Russia. This happened just a few weeks ago and (once we all got over the colds and got our equipment back — again) it was a great experience, Again, hopefully one we'll repeat.
"There's always a downside, of course, such as no new album this year. Honestly, this is something we are working on. We have the basic ideas and we do have some rough recording of about half the songs now but gigs and other commitments just seem to slow things down; so it is coming along. For example, another first, was playing one of the new songs 'Still Small Beer' live at a few of these gigs — and it seemed to go down very nicely (if you'll pardon the pun). Other titles include: 'Words Upon The Street', 'Black Summer Rain', 'Babakoto' and 'Which is Why'.
"Finally, it appears that we are to finish off the year as we started it with a gig at the Thatched House in Stockport. Anyone who attended the first one will know what an enjoyable night it was and when Ginger Andy asked us for a return gig, obviously, we couldn't say no and the return gig is on Saturday, December 1st. In fact, it's nice to have done a few gigs in England and it would be nice to see a few more events like the Metieval Fest being established. As they say, 'it's nice to go away, but it's nice to come home again'.
"This short note on 2007 sounds like something that could be expanded into a 'blog', so keep an eye out for more information and news."
