WISH GRANTED
On November 2, Niowt's new video premiered at Slovene national TV. Wish
is the third video from the still current Loverboy CD. As for its content,
the video is multi-layered, following the vision Argentinean architect Ana
Rascovsky had when listening to the song for the first time. Yet again
the members of the band do not appear in the video, what does appear, however,
are tiny wax figures, each with a special role and function in the story.
The video will soon be available on-line in the video
section of this page.

PLAY IT AGAIN, CALIGULA
The reason for band's absence from the public eye in the recent
months is a very concrete one. Invited by acknowledged Slovene director
Matjaž Pograjc, the band has been intensively working on the soundtrack
for his coming performance Play It Again, Caligula (a reworking of French
philosopher Alfred Camus' drama Caligula) since the beginning of 2003. Toiling
on the project around the clock, Niowt have decided to cancel all other
activities for the time being. The performance will
premiere on Wednesday, April 2 2003 at the Slovensko mladinsko gledališče
(SMG) theatre. As for the soundtrack, fans might recognize some
of the pieces from the Loverboy album (remixes of Hold, Venus, White Tide,
Wish) but there is also quite some new material primarily intended for the
third record and slightly altered to suit the theatre medium.

NIOWT
IN BELGRADE
As
announced,
Niowt are heading to Belgrade in mid-September to give a solo concert at
the popular KST club. Due to promotional activities, the band will be staying
in Belgrade for a few days while the concert is taking place on September
14th. The Belgrade gig is the first concert after a month of rest and
the band are really looking forward to it since the news about the response
to their music in Serbia is more then encouraging. The Loverboy video as
well as both records triggered an incredible amount of interest also in
other ex-Yugoslav countries, which means that concerts there are to be expected
in the next few months.

WISH
In
August the band started with preparations for the third video, which should
be finished and launched in public at the beginning of autumn. The band
decided to visually upgrade a slower song so they chose the second piece
from the album, Wish. What to expect? Another conceptual and content-wise
multi-layered complication, of course ;), following the tradition started
with Loverboy. This time, the band have hooked up with Argentinean video
artist and architect Ana Rascovsky.

NIOWT TOURING
EX-YUGOSLAVIA
Band's
management is in the final stages of arranging a solo concert in Belgrade
on September 14 2002. News from Belgrade are more than encouraging since
Loverboy has become a hit of local radio stations and the video has also
been incredibly well received. Due to a number of invitations by concert
organizers in the ex-Yugoslavia, the management is planning a shorter tour,
starting in Croatia, moving to Bosnia and Serbia, finishing off with the
mentioned gig in Belgrade. Dates will be announced as soon as the gigs are
fixed.
