A busy year
It's been a hectic year so far, as those who follow the GE Myspace know! The french release has been a blast. Clubs are packed, radio stations are playing 'Raid The Radio' across the french nation, and music TV channels such as MTV Pulse and M6 are showing the 'Raid The Radio' video, directed by Arno Salters. The GE live band also got a chance to do its thing on major TV shows, one of them being 'Taratata.'
The american release date is Nov 10th. Bay area cutting-edge label Quannum Projects will be steering that ship, with the help of the good people of SONY/RED for the distribution.
Stay Tuned!
