In the KANE newsletter we can read:

After two weeks of recording intensly at the All Aire Studios near Woodstock in upstate New York we finally came back home yesterday. Weird to be out of the country at the time your new single is being released. But this morning we got a text message from Universal with some good news! Catwalk criminal, our new single, has reached the 2 position in the Dutch midweek chart. That’s amazing! But a real chart entry hasn’t been made… we’re counting on FRIDAY! And we can already say we’re really really close to that magical 1 position.

If enough Dutch fans buy the single before Friday the guys can make it to that 1 position. Hope they got that champagne on ice…

Sterling Campbell and Gail Ann Dorsey are collaborating with the guys on the new KANE album. Both play alongside David Bowie on stage. Drummer Campbell is known for his work with Duran Duran, Soul Asylum, B-52’s, Eric Clapton, Iggy Pop, Tina Turner and Lou Reed. Bass player Dorsey played alongside Gwen Stefani, Bryan Ferry, Tears For Fears and Skin.

A few days after Belgian tv-presenter Chris Duchauchoit made an emotional appeal to polticians in Belgium regarding the BBC-documentairy ‘Bulgaria’s abandoned children’ there we see Dinand Woesthoff joining forces to raise awareness for the inhuman living conditions of these abandoned children. Dinand called upon several Dutch politicians by writing them emails to start immediate action against

Bulgaria

. After watching the BBC-television documentairy ‘Bulgaria’s abandoned children’, Woesthoff (still recording in Amerika) send out emails to Jan Marijnissen from the Dutch SP party and Femke Halsema of the Dutch GroenLinks party. In the documentairy it’s shown how handicapt together with poor children are being cared for in dreadfull conditions in an orphanage in

Bulgaria

. The GroenLinks party has already started debats on this topic and started an online-petition against the inhuman conditions in orphans’ homes like these. The party will hand over the results of the petitions to the European Union.
