Any news on Marcus Jurgens?

[Brimstone]

First I'd like to say that I love this man's voice
Last I heard from him is that he had a band named Kashmir does anyone know anything about them or any other project he is in?

 

[Gaunerin]

I know nothing about what he's doing. (hehe....that's the answer you all have been waiting for, right? )

 

[Marlies]

Hi!
Kashmyr doesn't exist anymore. There were plans for a coverband, but that didn't happen, but now he's in a rockband called Pump (in the vein of Poison, Aerosmith etc). A website is supposed to be up by now, but he didn't mail me any URL yet and it doesn't pop up in Google yet either.
If you want to mail him, you can mail me (marlies@truemetal.org), I will forward it to Marcus (I don't give out anyone's email address unless I know it's ok).

 

[Marlies]

This is Pump, Marcus' band...... ain't they cuuuuuuute??!!

 

[Fangface]

They would be even more cute if they played Heavy Metal

 

[Marlies]

hihi guess so, at least for us
But a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do... I want Marcus to be happy in whatever he wants to do. And to get some recognition in whatever he wants to do. I'll love his voice anyway

hehehe .......that might be even true. A tiny little bit

I just uploaded Marlies's review for Pump's "I" in our cd reviews section, just follow one of our Morrigan's Pit banners

 

[Brimstone]

I checked the review, the official page and the samples. No fight sounds like Black n blue
I definitively going to try to find this Cd

Thanks

 

[Brimstone]

I've d/l several samples and this stuff is great. Neither Cduniverse nor Amazon (Cdnow) carry it.
Does anyone know if there is an online Cd company that carries it?

 

[Gaunerin]

I doubt so. I thought/think that it is a self-financed thing released by the band itself (thus the name Pump Records). I just noticed that there's no info on the website though. If I were you I'd contact the band via email or wait for Marlies to return from her weekend out.......I'm almost sure she knows more

 

[Brimstone]

I'll wait for Marlies.
Thanks

 

[Marlies]

Sorry to disappoint you Cora, I don't know more hehehe......... I'll ask Marcus where and how people can order the cd, I also see there is no info on the website yet

 

[Brimstone]

I was able to find two reviews about Pump's album at http://www.tombstone.gr/cdreview.htm and http://www.stagyro.org/hosted/metal/invader/reviews.html but the Cd is not available anywhere.

Anyone knows? I would really like to get it

Maaaaaarrrrliiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeess!!!???

 

[Marlies]

Cooooooorrrrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Sorry I didn't post this here after I did the review. Or kinda copied the old review LOL. So..... the selffinanced cd has been picked up by a label (remastered), it's been released in Germany on Neon Knights Records, but I've seen other label/distributors names on the net for (I guess) other countries. Hmmm.. I gotta ask Marcus about it when I interview him soon Oh, that reminds me....... does anyone have a particular question for him? I don't plan to ask him a whole lot about Brainstorm, it's been so long and they all moved on, and of course the interview is about Pump

 

[Brimstone]

Ask him what he had to give the devil in exchange for such a voice?

Seriously I don't have any specific question, just encourage him to keep up the good work.

I guess asking about why they decided to put out a Cd with an 80's inspired sound wouldn't be much of a question since the Cd title seems to explain it clearly "Against Everyone's Advice" I guess that means they did it because they just wanted to do it and because they like that sound.

 

[Marlies]

I'm gonna ask that question about the devil

About the other.. same thoughts here hehe. I do plan to ask how the market is for this kind of music.

I'm gonna talk to Marcus tonight, so if anyone has any last minute questions???
