We want gig reports and pictures!

With a fresh batch of shows coming, it sounds like a great time to restart gig reports on BasiaWeb. It was great success four years ago, so if anyone would like to post a write up about the shows, let me know. (Bear in mind that I reserve the right to edit for length and grammar if necessary, okay?) I'll create that within the "Live" section tomorrow. There's also a BasiaWeb Fan Fotos group on Flickr where you can upload photos from the shows- that way no one has to wait for me, which I know is a problem.

Have fun, you lucky ducks and duckettes. I expect to live vicariously through your accounts, so get them in! ;)

Tour coming. EP may be coming.

So much went by in a whir there that I think a couple very important parts may have been lost in the hoopla:

THERE'S GONNA BE A TOUR!!
THERE'S PROBABLY GOING TO BE A 3-SONG EP!! OF NEW SONGS!!

Ok, just wanted to put that out there. :p

Piotr says, "Regarding the tour Basia mentioned that she will be starting in September and going to the States and the Far Asian countries (inlc. Japan) and Poland. There is also a plan to go to South Africa. She will start the tour with a smaller band and bigger number of back up vocalists (2 of the musicians will sing as well). Some songs need to be rearranged and they will sound more acoustically. The concerts will probably be at smaller venues at first to continue in larger ones with larger band in 2010. If I understood it properly, the record label has plans release so called EP with 3 (new?) songs when Basia goes on tour in fall. I have to come back to the interview when she spoke of EP to get a better understanding... Then there might be the re-release of ITGA in Poland with bonus tracks (Oh mama, Clear Horizon). Basia's songs should also be available for sale through her website, anytime soon."

(also see Krysia's below!)

WTF Borders?

Update on the Borders situation: fans who have not been able to get the Borders Exclusive version of It's That Girl Again in stores have ordered it online, BUT were given the 13-track, no-bonus-tracks version. Clearly this isn't acceptable and a real shame.

Borders is go, in some areas anyway

The Special Edition of It's That Girl Again at Borders has been confirmed and it includes bonus tracks "Oh Mama" and "Clear Horizon" (2009).

Some parts of the country apparently haven't been stocked (including, grrr, mine). Borders appears to be reorganizing how they sell music, perhaps this may have something to do with it. In any case, some fans are ordering online and seeing if the bonus tracks come with. We will update.

Never ends, does it? :D

Thanks to the fans who hopped over so those further away could save gas or shipping!

IT'S FINALLY TIME! THE ALBUM IS OUT!!

Today is that long-awaited day for US fans as It's That Girl Again is NOW AVAILABLE in stores and for download. Buy one now and get several for friends!!
