Well, what can we say?

It’s been a hell of a year for us.

We‘ve released “Narava” video, written 13 new songs, been to LA and back, sailed the Mediterranean sea in unplugged mode, did a 3-and-a-half-hour stadium concert where we recorded our 6th album “VI” and a double DVD “Stadion Stožice”, Livingstone’s Last Kiss theatrical performance received the Golden Stick award, then we released the album “VI” (produced by Ross Robinson) and the double DVD with documentary in November, launched a video for “Postavi se na mojo stran” in December, had some truly great gigs throughout Slovenia, were part of “A maš tak flow” video done by our good friend & choreographer Miha Krušič, made some dreams come true to a few among you who more than deserved it, publication Aipa chose our video Platina (done by Testtube) as No. 1 Slovenian video of the decade (!) and now here we are with a simple conclusion; you made it all worthwhile! You made it possible! Without you most of these things would not come to be!

You are what makes us strong(er)!
You are why we are here!
You are deep within our hearts!
And for this we are deeply grateful!

We bow and wish you one hell of a 2012!

Yours (always),
Siddharta

Renewed Congress Square and the beginning of the finalé of the festivities in Ljubljana. And we, of course. We woke the Capital city up during the soundcheck and the gig was great. We were afraid of the cold and frozen fingers, but it turned out that it wasn't all that bad. Almost two hours went by too quickly and we got that visit from Plastika video again. We were trying to hunt him down but he got away again. After midnight we sang a happy birthday song for Jani and tried to keep the cold away with Štefan's cooked wine.

We made an introduction to the holiday season in Kranj. Overtaken by a full and loud venue in Zlato Polje we really enjoyed the stage and shared the sweat and energy with you. During Plastika we got a visit from the cherub and before we could explain to him that December is time for sausages, he disappeared. Anyhow, great organisation, even better crowd, amazing night. And our Tisa passed the test.

Our trip to Maribor started on Thursday. We watched the Stadion Stožice DVD with Radio Center and our fans in RC's Chill Out club, discussed all sorts of things and toasted to rock n' roll. The night turned out to be too short, so we decided to sleep during the day. :) Betnava hotel turned out to be an ideal place to do so.
On Friday we were welcomed in a sold out Štuk club. We love to return to Maribor and we were really looking forward to this gig. As expected we were not let down. The people went wild and so did the energy on the stage. A magical night, Le Mavrica and even a few snowflakes on our way back to Ljubljana.
