Instead of touring Germany and Europe, promoting our new album HOWLIN' AT THE COPYCATS we're sitting at home. All shows for 2020 are cancelled (35 to be exact, we would have added more), booking for 2021 is not possible and when it's possible to tour again in a proper way is still unclear. So our situation for 2020 and probably 2021 is like this: No income from concert fees, merch sales and publishing and performing royalties Album production costs of 10.000 € had to be paid Costs for band van (taxes, insurance, maintenance) need to be covered Costs for website, digital distribution, promotion have to be paid To make up for the loss of all cancelled shows we started a crowfunding on Startnext! Buy a nice supporter T-Shirt, the new album, Christmas CDs, some old Cds or Rock'n'Roll Jam made by Rob Razorblade! https://www.startnext.com/en/the-razorblades-save-the-rocknrollguerilla If you're not a fan of crowdfunding you can simply buy something from the website the old school way... Order here: THE RAZORBLADES WEBSITE https://www.therazorblades.de/shop/ At least stream on SPOTIFY or APPLE MUSIC In case you have to much free time...play guitar! ORDER A SURF GUITAR BOOK www.thesurfguitarbook.com or Rob Razorblade's (aka Martin Schmidt) new guitar book for children and beginners DER KLEINE GITARRENHELD www.dergitarrenheld.de THANKS FOR YOUR HELP! HOPEFULLY WE SEE YOU ON THE ROAD NEXT YEAR! Top

I can send you whatever you want For the rest: It's black friday....instead of spending your money on 50% discount deals for stuff you don't need, you can support a 100 % self managed DIY surf band here: https://www.startnext.com/en/the-razorblades-save-the-rocknrollguerilla Thanks in advance!

Startnext campaign is going well. 5 days left, any support is welcome! https://www.startnext.com/en/the-razorblades-save-the-rocknrollguerilla A bandcamp account will be properly set up in early 2021.... Instead of recovering from the tour, we take silly photos and hang around on street corners pretending to drink Glühwein.... Join in and let's hope for a better 2021!
