Eroded by Carlo


Since a few days Carlo van Putten`s book "Eroded" is out and you can buy it via Schaffi`s Shop. The book includes Carlo`s song lyrics, poems and some prose.

"Here for the first time Carlo presents a collection of poems and musings that serve to provide an intimate insight into the heart and soul that was the foundation for so much great music."


Last Sunday Carlo, Pete & Ralf completed their "Live In The Living Room" Tour. Even though they played some Dead Guitars songs, it was not a Dead Guitars tour. They also played Carlo`s The Convent and White Rose Transmission songs.

Here you can find some pics from last week: (more soon)
