17.2.2008: An update of the current status and 2008 plans
Lowlife Rock'n'Roll Philosophers are busy and excited working on the material for their third full-length CD. Twelve wonderful songs are already in the arranging phase. The studio will call the Philosophers in May. With their new music, Lowlife quintet is following the path they have chosen but also pushing the edges of the envelope further from the centre.
Larger number of gigs will follow after the release of the third album, but there will be a few special occasions to see the Philosophers live during the first part of the year 2008.
See you all!
