Bernays Propaganda have a new bass player! The reasons for Sasa's (the ex-bass player, you know) departure are kinda unknown, but rest assured that it was on friendly terms.
Anyway, the new guy is Tripe of FxPxOx fame and the new lineup will make its debut on 1st July in Prilep, Macedonia. They'll also be touring the Balkans in July, so be on the lookout!

Unfortunately sometimes we have to hit you up with sad news. One of the first Moonlee's bands broke up. My dear post rockers Don't Mess With Texas decided to separate their ways. Here is an official statement by the band:
"Dear friends....
We wanted to let you all know that Don’t Mess With Texas disbanded. We decided to break up and stop functioning as a band. It just didn’t feel right anymore. It makes no sense to write sagas about the break up or about the band, we just want to thank everyone that helped us in any way, it was wonderful while it lasted. Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts. Sasha, Ozren, Slobich and Neven."
We will make sure to keep you updated on new bands and projects that might rise from DMWT's ashes. We still have their two amazing records up for sale as well as t-shirts and buttons in our online shop.
Mr. Moonlee and his Moonlee Records are returning to Ljubljana and they're bringing along the traditional Moonleejada 2009 festival. On the 18th of April at Menza pri koritu, the Moonlee clan is going to be represented by hearty punkrockers In-Sane, energetic screamo post-punks Analena, dadaistic mathcore maniacs Hesus Attor, Bosnian psycho Damir Avdic and a Macedonian post-punk delicacy named Bernays Propaganda.
The party atmosphere will be provided by Mr. Moonle, his Moonleenettes and the legendary Jahac Plosc BIGor, who'll take over the DJ duties. Hope to see you there!
Hesus Attor have a promo video!
The song is "Cahracack", which is contained on their album, "Sonic Gastronomy Volume 1".
The video was done by their old friend Marta Ozanic Rozic, who used the footage provided by "Trzalica" music show, i.e. Ri-TV, which captured Hesus Attor shows on video numerous times.
You can view the video here or here.
Macedonians Bernays Propaganda have recently entered Radio 101's Top 40 Countdown chart with their song "Are You Enjoying Being in Your Own Accompaniment?".
Radio 101 is one of Croatia's largest, most long-lived and most important independent radio stations, and since this chart contains only foreign singles, this is a huge success as Bernays Propaganda are possibly the first band from the Balkans to enter the chart. Anyway, check it out here and feel free to cast your vote.
The song in question is contained on their album "Happiness Machines", which will be released on Moonlee Records... right about now! Some positive reviews have already been written at Storm Inside and Terapija and here's one in English on TruePunk. If that tickles your fancy, you can listen to the album on our website and buy it on a number of places - such as our webstore.
As of today, Bernays Propaganda's album, entitled "Happiness Machines", is officially out! Hooray!
Everything's already been said a number of times, but if for some reason you still don't know what Bernays Propaganda are about, here's a nice little review for you to read and get hyped.
Anyway, you can acquire this fine piece of music at these stores:
We've got a bunch of records that are just sitting around gathering dust, so we've decided to clear out our stock and offer these records to you at really cheap prices. Check out the Specials section at the webstore and see if you can find something of interest. New stuff will be put on sale every month and bear in mind that the supplies are limited - so you better be quick!
While you're waiting for Bernays Propaganda's album release, you can listen to it in its entirety on Last.fm or on our website.
The album, entitled "Happiness Machines", will officialy be released on the 6th of April 2009, and you can pre-order it through our webstore.
If you enjoy stuff like Gang of Four, Fugazi, Slits, LCD Soundsystem etc., this album is something you wouldn't want to miss. It will also feature a 32-page booklet/essay written by singer Kristina, and at a fair price, it's definitely worth getting.
Oh, and don't forget that Bernays Propaganda are currently touring Europe, so be sure to go and see them live if they hit your town!
Hesus Attor will soon embark on a little tour through the Balkans, named "Balkan Spring Tour 2009".
It begins on the 20th of March in Osijek and ends on the 18th of April in Ljubljana at the Moonlee Fest, held at Menza pri koritu club. Besides Osijek and Ljubljana, the boys will also visit Zupanja, Postojna, Rijeka, Belgrade, Skopje, Podgorica and Mostar - check out the dates on their myspace page or on the flyer attached below. This time they'll be promoting their album "Sonic Gastronomy vol. 1", released by Moonlee Records in September 2008.
Oh, and they'll also be promoting their first video at the gig in Rijeka on the 27th of March. The montage was done by their long-time friend Marta Ozanic Rozic, using the footage provided by "Trzalica" music show, i. e. Ri-TV, who videotaped their gigs a number of times.
Anyway, be sure to attend a Hesus Attor show if you get the chance, because these dadaistic math-core gourmands, as they like to call themselves, simply must be seen live.
Bon appetit!
Just to remind you, Bernays Propaganda will be touring Europe in March and April to promote their album Happiness Machines, which will be out on Moonlee Records very soon. The month and half-long tour will hit many countries - Germany, Austria, France, Sweden, Holland and Denmark, to name a few. Below is a full tour date list, so be sure to check out this great Macedonian post-punk outfit if they play at a venue near you. You won't regret it.

Bernays Propaganda's long-anticipated album titled "Happiness Machines" will finally hit the streets on the 6th of April 2009.
For those of you who don't know, Bernays Propaganda are a post punk band straight outta Skopje, Macedonia.
However, they are definitely not just another bunch of trend-hopping post punk revivalists. Unlike many other bands who allegedly draw their influences from Gang of Four, The Slits, Fugazi etc., Bernays Propaganda have strong ideals and their lyrics aren't just empty words.
All of this is reflected on their album, so expect a groovy and danceable post punk bomb with catchy female vocals and smart lyrics. Be sure to check it out, and if you want a preview, feel free to download "Anonymous enemy", a song from the album, right here.
They'll also be touring Europe in March and April to promote the album and could use some assistance with finding a couple of shows, so if you can help out, please contact them.
The following dates are currently open:
21 March, sat - Munich/Bavaria Germany
07 April, tue - Central/Western Germany
16 April, thu - North Italy
