I stopped by to let you know about a forum that is used by many believers and artists from Sellaband (SAB has mentioned that they are working on an official forum soon) http://sellaband.pro boards79.com/ I also wanted to mention a website put together by one of our other believers http://www.imasellab andaddict.com/site/ where you can see video footage of an interview with the guys behind sellaband.

Hi Flu,
No big deal about it. I was just trying to show you that sometime misunterpretation of simple phrases can be offensive...let's not blow this out of proportion! ;)
Going back to what is important: I really like your music
and wish you the best of luck on sellaband.

Hello Flu! I'm really impressed, great work, full of imagination and modernity. I hope you'll get noticed and reach quickly the top pages. Your video is equally right on! :) Your sound is the kind I'd like to hear in new latin sound for the years to come.
cheers
Yann
