Jakob http://www.munarecords.co.nz/Jakob08/blog Jakob the band : To listen to Jakob is to journey through the harsh, beautiful, isolated landscape of the Hawkes Bay, NZ, that is their home. Swelling but direct, beautiful and uplifting yet intense and hard, this is a band declaring victory over the forces of nature.

Thought we’d answer a few of the questions coming at us as of late.

Progress on the album is going relatively slowly for now, we’re at about 80% done so far. There were a couple things we didn’t get quite right in the studio and we’re not really getting much spare time to finish things off.

The plan is to have things finished up by April and to then release it in July.

If you haven’t already checked it out you can hear a few teasers from some of the demos for the album here:

We’re planning on doing an extensive tour of Europe around August/September. This will include UK and Scandinavia.

We’ll be getting physical copies of the albums up for sale soon, hopefully in the very near future, but for now if you are after any of our releases most of them are available from our Bandcamp store http://jakob.bandcamp.com/
We will also be getting some T-shirts up for sale also… Finally.

Next Friday we’ll be playing on the Green Stage at 9pm at the Auckland Big Day Out… Yip, that’s right, the same time as Soundgarden. You can catch our set and then the second half of theirs.
We will also be doing a one off show at the San Francisco Bath House in Wellington, Saturday 11th February with LEADERS ASTRAY & ACHELOR OF ARCHITECTURE. Tickets will be available through Undertheradar soon.
