Live in Prague

On the 2nd of February we had the pleasure of finally playing live at the Lucerna Music Bar in Prague to a magnificent crowd. The gig had been canceled in December because of heavy snow at London Heathrow airport so it was fantastic to finally get to perform.

We recorded the audio from the set for posterity and our good friend and photographer John Stefanik videoed as much as he could with our 7D. This is an edit of some of the highlights of the gig, soundtracked by the live recording of Numb which we opened the set with.

We also had the pleasure of playing with six members of the City Of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra, most of whom had actually played on our album when we recorded the orchestra in late 2009. Brilliant musicians and fearless against over 110db on stage!

The 3 minutes of footage can’t begin to convey the atmosphere in the room that night and we thank everyone for coming out to see us (some from very far away so we’re told). A truly spectacular crowd.

Thanks to Marek & Petra for making the gig happen, we salute you.

We’ve uploaded two clips from the orchestral recording of Hybrid’s 4th studio album, Disappear Here. The videos feature excerpts of ‘Break My Soul’ and ‘Can You Hear Me’, both performed by the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra. Go to the video section above for more clips from Prague.

The New Album Is Ready…

We’re very happy to announce that our new LP is finally finished and ready to be mastered. It’s been 2 years in the making and we’ve been solidly in the studio since last summer piecing it together. The album is called Disappear Here and is set for a worldwide release in March/April next year on Distinctive Records.

Recently we’ve been recording the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra for the album under the watchful eye of Andrew Skeet who we worked with on our second LP. The session took place at the famous Smecky Studios which is regularly used by European and American companies to record film scores and classical albums.

Musically, we think this album isn’t so much a departure from our sound, but a development and a fresh approach that has produced some of the most exciting music we’ve ever written. We’ll be posting clips of the new LP and a host of free downloads in the coming months so watch this space….
