New shirts, new gigs, new songs

- 10.02.2012




They're here: our new "navy blue" band shirts! People who exclusively wear black don't need to worry - the shirts and girlies are pretty dark. Furthermore, we've printed the new design on fair trade organic cotton. Yes, we know that we are way too nice in order to be a proper metal band, hehe!

Out with the old, in with the new. In this case we're glad to announce that the first pressing of our debut album "Versteckte Pfade" is now completely sold-out. 11 months after its release, we've handed out 500 copies at various shows and festivals and also sent some to distant places like Sweden, UK, China, USA, Japan, Brazil, and many more. Whether you bought our CD in physical or digital form - Thank you! But don't worry, we'll press another batch! In the meantime, you can still order our CD from a few online retailers and also purchase it digitally. Additional info can be found HERE.

Last but not least, let's not forget the most important thing of all: live concerts! In 2012, we'll not only visit many new locations and play some old favourites, but we'll also perform many brand new songs for you. The recording schedule for the new songs remains a secret for now, but they can already be heard at such great events like Rauhnacht in Lucerne (with Black Messiah), the Ragnarök Festival, and many more!
All of our future and past gigs can be found at our CONCERT PAGE. Constant and sometimes even relevant news about Abinchova can also be found on our FACEBOOK page. We're always looking for new concerts and are happy for every booking enquiry we receive. So don't hesitate to contact us!

See you soon!



Kick Ass Award 2011

- 14.12.2011




Abinchova has been nominated for the Radio 3fach KICK ASS AWARD in the categories "Best Song" (Hörensagen) and "Best Album" (Versteckte Pfade)!

Radio 3fach is the leading alternative radio in Lucerne (our hometown) and especially focuses on the alternative culture and music scene. The KICK ASS AWARD is handed out yearly to several bands and other significant persons. This year's award show is again taking place in probably the most glamorous location on earth: Schüür Lucerne (Wednesday, 4 January 2012).

And here's the catch: The category "Best Song" is open for public voting. How does that work? Everyone can send one single text message for his or her favourite band. More info on the contest and all nominated bands can be found HERE.

The winning band not only gets fame, fortune, and a whole truck full of men/women, but also 3'000.00 Swiss Francs for a video clip production. And we've always wanted to shoot a music video in 3D! ;-)

Therefore, send a text with "3FACH 02" to 9292 in order to vote for us! (0.60SFR/TEXT - Switzerland only, sorry)Our nominated song "Hörensagen" can be streamed on Youtube.

Will Abinchova stand its ground against a legion of indie and hip-hop acts? We'll see!

Thanks for your support!



Ragnarök Festival and other news

- 06.11.2011


Great news!

We're happy to announce that we'll be able to open the Ragnarök Festival 2012 (April 13-14). The festival has seen a constant run of great line-ups so far and this year seems to be no different. The whole thing wouldn't have been possible without the help and support of thousands of people from around the world - Thank you all!

But there are even more concerts look forward to. A quick look at our concert schedule reveals many great gigs like our first headliner-gig abroad (Bavarian Roadshow in Munich), our support gig for Viking metal legends "Einherjer", or our appearance at the Bavarian Festival 2012. Also, a new festival named "Nothing But Metal" Festival (Mai 19) has been added, which gives us the great opportunity to play near our hometown Lucerne again. We really enjoy playing gigs, so don't hesitate to contact us if you want to book us!

We know that it is already November, but October has seen the publication of two articles about Abinchova in print magazines. Rock Hard published a short review of our album "Versteckte Pfade" and the Culture Magazine of Lucerne printed a picture of Abinchova on their front page and also featured us in their article about the metal scene in central Switzerland.
Oh, and by the way: our rehearsal room is vibrating to the sound of new tunes!

See you soon, Abinchova
