After much deliberation the constellation Neurobash has decided to leave the project DOGS and the collaboration with Lars Vilks. The musical is yet scheduled for an official première in Sweden this autumn - the music written by Neurobash will however not be featured and the YouTube-previews have already been withdrawn. The constellation has refused to make any interviews during the production and redirected all questions to Vilks - this is also now the case.
The only official statement by Neurobash in English, is:
“Neurobash took on the project to write music for Lars Vilks musical DOGS as a natural continuation of the successful previous common musical adventures, and not the least as an interesting creative challenge. Our hope was to, through our contribution, inspire to a constructive debate in regards to the freedom of speech versus art. It is now clear to us that there simply is no room for such a debate in this contect.”
The only official statement by Neurobash in Swedish, is:
“Neurobash antog uppdraget att skriva musik till Lars Vilks’ musikal DOGS som en naturlig fortsättning på tidigare givande samarbeten och en vidare intressant konstnärlig utmaning. Vår förhoppning var att genom vårt medverkande bidra till en konstruktiv debatt rörande yttrandefrihet kontra konst, men det är för oss uppenbart att det helt enkelt inte finns utrymme för en sådan i detta sammanhang.”

Only three days since the release of the collaboration with Ralph Lundsten, already more fresh material os available from the constellation Neurobash. The latest sampler from Electric Fantastic Sound, Electric Fantastic Sound No. 4 2008, which was released this very morning, features an exclusive version of the track NOTHING NEW, taken from the forthcoming EP by Neurobash. The sampler features 18 tracks in total, with emphasis on pop-oriented electronic music. In this sense - as in so many others - Neurobash might be the exception, while returning to a harder sound blended with fragile but yet powerful vocals by new vocalist Ewan Kelley. Preview on MySpace.

What was originally planned to become the third show in the tour for THE NAKED MOON AND THE VIRGIN SUN has been cancelled due to the same reasons as the previous première show in Berlin. The show was booked by the same agency. More shows following the official release are currently being planned directly by the constellation Neurobash and the constellations regular partner Nangijala Bookings.

Due to the cancellation of the show in Berlin, the first prototype performance of the collaboration between Ralph Lundsten and Neurobash entitled THE NAKED MOON AND THE VIRGIN SUN, will be held at the culture festival in Hörby on the 20th of May. Due to restrictions in regards to instrument arrangements and rehearsals, this first show will be a downsized one rather giving a glimpse of what is yet to come. Still, this is the first time ever the music written together by the legendary Swedish composer and the constellation Neurobash, and is sure to set mark - so the tip is not to miss it. The performance will begin at 22:30 local time and take place at the large stage.
