What a pleasure to be invited to the Sellabration08! Thanks SAB and all our fans here! We will give the best to make you rockin´!!!

We are happy and proud to say that we got a venue to play a gig on Saturday 16th of August in Amsterdam! So come to Bourbon street for a Solid Bourbon AND a SolidTube. The starting time will be announced in the next days.

If you want to buy a LE CD, you can buy it on believers shops. They helped SolidTube to 50k and they should get some kind of thanks, if you buy directly from a believer. Maybe a way to find new friends here!




Johannes Bramreiter, owner of the website www.nitelife.at catched the mood of the whole event (He will be on the Defcoon1 Party in NL as well).
Here is the Link

Thanks to both of them!


We sold nearly 50 CD at this evening, which was quite a nice surprise!
We wish you a lot of fun with the pictures and a nice weekend too ;)

Solid Tube……

A perfect mixture from Blues & Country & Rock. Keep straight, powerfull and tender.

Welcome to our world of music and enjoy our SolidTube "Mandana", the singer of the band.


Just invest a few minutes in: www.solidtube.net

For news we refer to the blog

 

About Solid Tube:

The core of the band are three musicians. They are so different in their characters and lifestyle, but there is one common thing they are sharing: the passion for music.

 

Mandana: the dynamic blues and rock voice. Maybe you believe she´s from the deepest south of texas, but wrong, she´s a 24 young girl of Lower Austria. It´s a experience to see her on stage:160 centimeters height,pure energy and a unique voice. She is working as a staff nurse in Vienna.

 

Michael: I think he started to play guitar already, while he was still soiling in one´s nappies. He´s the guy, who loves Rock´n roll and Austropop.

The only professional musician in this bunch.

 

Gerry: the silent master of the art of living. The only time, he is getting loud is, when he plays on his harp.

 

Mandana and Michael are the songwriters of Solid Tube.

Dear SolidTube friend,

 

a lot of updates this time. We are out of the "Wildone" Studio and have finished primary recording now. We can tell you, it was a blast and you can be as curious for the final result as we are.

 

Towards the end of the recording we did something very special, which was originally only intended as fun, but turned out to be really good: We recorded "Sunny Days" with a "Believer Chorus" with believers, who could make it to the studio in Vienna. Thanks to Bengelchen (again many thanks for your support) we have some videos of this:

 

Here is Pete Strobl, our producer getting everyone in the mood:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yw9j8yjn_i8

 

And here a montage of the performance we did in Salzburg of "Sunny days" and the actual believer chorus in the studio - lets see who you can actually identify :)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ElXMQvTcCeY

 

 

Directly after finishing in the studio and a last joined dinner we had our "Heimspiel" (home game)  last Saturday in Gersten, Mandana's home town. What can we say: nearly 300 people came, the location was completly sold out, about 30 people queing coudn't get in anymore and the party went on until 5 in the morning, so lets book this one as a success :) - especially if you consider, that Gresten has only about 2000 habitants :)

 

Here is a very rough video from the evening (just black and white) - the song "Perfect":

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxXwTPGKLt8

 

 

And our local newspaper ("Niederösterreichische Nachrichten") did more articles about Mandana and this concert:

Thats it for now. Ah and before we forget it: Congratulations to ConFused5 and to Kaitee Page: welcome to the other side!

 

Enjoy, whereever you are in the world

1. Vienna Calling Update 

A lot has happened, since we started planning for "Vienna Calling": SolidTube has reached the 50k, Pete Strobl our producer has arrived savely in Vienna and yes, we have already started with the pre-production. Pete is still fighting with his Jetlag, but he is fit and confident to work with the band. Mike, Mandana and Pete have discussed some of the new songs and we can be courious if we will be able hear one or two of them at the Vienna Calling (That´s not 100% sure at the moment). Pete watched a basketball game yesterday, to see how his son is doing in the Austria Basketball league. Here are the rest of news at a glance: 

- Atmo was finally able to confirm, that he can be part of this concert. He will play one of his own songs

- the lineup will be: Rooga - Atmo - SolidTube - Kontrust

- Pete Strobl will play Bass with SolidTube: One night only!

- We can confirm that a couple of people coming especially for this event to Vienna: JohanV and Rey Gamba from Sellaband, Jügewara , Albert and MaWa to strenghten our beloved friends from Austria

Loving the new CD, buy yours now!!!
DaveThe Esthameian ♫ Équipe N'Kenge 30.06.08 12
   Solidtube are a band with consistent quality - every one of their tunes has that Solidtube sound.  They out-country many US bands! To their country sound they add a dash of blues and a pinch of rock to make their unique sound - every one a winner and each recognisable as ST :)

-----►♫♫♫♫  $50,000 winners - CD now out!!! ♫♫♫♫◄-----

    Having heard them live at Roll over Austria last year, Solid Tube are a real knockout. 
    Mandana with her unique deep South accent grafted on to her native Austrian together with a more funky sound provided by Mike, Gerry and the 'newbies' Julian, Stefan and Jakob  makes ST appeal to more than fans of Country music.  Once America hears this sound I believe they will take ST to their hearts.

Outstanding! Outstanding! Outstanding!
I can say no higher compliment to the sound, arrangement, or graphics for this record.  This album is just what the ears needed!
sallysgirl 24.06.08 3

I was so happy with it, I put in and it sounds sooo much better on my bose than my computer!  It's country but not pure country, it rocks, it soothes, it's got the beat, it's got some blues. It's all I love all wrapped up in one. Love the earthy strong voice of Mandana, so happy your sound stayed true and your best songs on there--every single is song is worthy!  I LOVE it love it love it!!
