Both Aviv and Steven have completed new solo albums. Aviv's album will be his first ever English language solo album, and it has been produced by legendary producer Trevor Horn (Seal, Frankie Goes to Hollywood, Paul McCartney, taTu, Art of Noise...etc). Steven also plays guitar on the album, and in the meantime has completed his own debut solo album, "Insurgentes". Both will be issued later this year, and you can now watch trailers for both albums on YouTube:
- Aviv Geffen EPK (electronic press kit)
- Steven Wilson Insurgentes trailer (images taken from forthcoming Lasse Hoile documentary)
You can now download 2 new Aviv Geffen songs, "It's Alright" and "Berlin" from the website www.notanothercrapxmas.com.
This web site is sponsored by CALM - the campaign against living miserably. There are many freely downloadable songs available from this site, personally chosen by BBC Radio 1 DJ Annie Mac. You will find Aviv's songs on the 19th December entry.
Aviv Geffen will perform a solo show at the Bush Hall in London on 31st January 2008. This will be Aviv's first show performing his English language songs, and he will be joined by some special guests on the night, including Mike Garson (from David Bowie's band) and Steven Wilson. Tickets are now available from ticketweb.
