Release Info:

THEE FLANDERS are back... and sooner than expected. No, we are not here at Band-Aid 22, the meeting of the Super Pop Zomboids.


Here there are:


- First-class and unique sound document 
- recorded during the Corona Lockdown 2020-2021.
- on the occasion of the 25th ANNIVERSARY OF THEE FLANDERS and 30TH ANNIVERSARY OF HALB-7-RECORDS 
- featuring over 20 international artists of the international PSYCHOBILLY scene
- further top-class guests
- 13 crisp smashers and real hits

- Psychobilly Allstars Song "the Days of Pearly Spencer".
- Duet with PUHDYS member "Quaster"  on the GDR cult hit "Lebenszeit"
- Coverart as a real eye-catcher from the hand of Norman FLANDERS

 

Musically, there is the typical and distinctive THEE FLANDERS sound. Including intro and outro, the Potsdamneds present a total of 13 songs.

On the opening track of the record "The Days of Pearly Spencer" all Psychobilly Allstars sing together. 

Furthermore, the record shows a selection of well-chosen cover songs and previously published Flanders-Songs - all freshly recorded and remixed. And the record holds many surprises such as the Intro or the ghostrack.

 
The CD comes in a beautifully designed limited edition Digi-Pack. Matching the title, there is a remarkable layout. A real eye-catcher from the hand of Norman FLANDERS.

 

For a Vinyl edition, there will be extra info and a special charity campaign later on.

 

The story so far:

Norman Flanders: "When a second lockdown was announced at the end of 2020, we wanted to be more creative and productive than during the first lockdown. So in November 2020 the drums were recorded for 3 songs. The rest of us were able to play our necessary tracks at home. 

Since our current record "Neverending Story" was just in the pressing plant, we actually wanted to record a 4-track benefit EP only. But as the lockdown dragged on for more than half a year, there was enough time for more creative ideas and new opportunities opened up.

On the one hand we unexpectedly got support from the temporary 5th band member, the one and only Stefan Flanders. Currently Stefan accompanies us with his excellent guitar work and we were able to improve musically. It was probably also due to Stefan's creative input that now a whole album instead of just an EP was made.
 
On the other hand, since the whole world was more or less stuck at home, we came up with the idea of bringing various guest musicians on board. So we started looking for some fellows and over time there were about 20 comrades-in-arms.
Many of these musicians were one reason why we started making music in the first place 25 years ago. They were role models and inspiration for us. 

From Russia, Australia, America, England, Holland, Hungary -  all over the world - friends have supported us in this project. In the end, a varied album was created, which is a great birthday present for our band's 25th anniversary."

 

The guest list reads like a "Who-is-Who" of the great and famous of the Psychobilly scene:

 

* Jeroen Haamers (BATMOBILE) NL

* KöfteDeville (MAD SIN) GER

* Humungus (COFFIN NAILS) UK

* Peter "Nekropete" Sandorff (HOLA GHOST, Ex-NEKROMANTIX) DK

* Alan Wilson (The SHARKS) UK

*Rod Usher (The OTHER) GER

* Dead “Richy” Gein (BZFOS) AT

* Pete Gorilla (GORILLA) HUN

* Dax Dragster (GODLESS WICKED CREEPS) DK

* Marco Damage (DAMAGE DONE BY WORMS) GER

* Daniel DeLeon (REZUREX) USA

* Tom Toxic (HOLSTEIN ROCKETS) GER

* Mikki (NINE 2 FIVE) GER

* Terry Drybones (MAGNETIX) RUS

* StuArkoff (ZOMBIES GHOST TRAIN) AUS

* GaybeulGualdi (DEMENTED are GO!) FR

* Stefan Grawe (SPEED SWING) GER

* Kevin Flanders (GERMAN EX) GER

* …and the One and Only Stefan "FLANDERS" Schmidt GER

 

But there is more. On top of it the real superstars and old stars present themselves:

 

* Bürger Lars Dietrich GER

* Beckmann (RAINBIRDS, DEPP JONES, SUURBIERS) GER

* Dieter "Quaster" Hertrampf (PUHDYS) GER

 

With the latter, the band has succeeded in a coup:
As part of the campaign "Rettet die Clubs" the opportunity arose to re-record the old GDR-cult-hit “Lebenszeit”  with the genuine PUHDYS guitarist and singer Dieter “Quaster” Hertampf.

The cover version is staged brilliantly... Quaster in duet with Norman, plus sophisticated guitars, arrangements and even a specially recorded trumpet. 


The affectionate recording makes this song probably the highlight and secret hit of this record.
