Filewile is nominated for the Jury Prize at the Swiss Music Award!

The new Filewile album «Blueskywell» was released on CD only and shall now be pressed onto vinyl!

Mouthwatering Records & Filewile are looking for at least 250 people to make this possible, by pre-ordering the vinyl for at least 20 Euro. If you take part, you become one of the albums producers and get your name printed on the sleeve.

The vinyl will be manufactured, if enough people participate. You will only need to pay, if there's sufficient people taking part and we can actually press the record. So spread the word!

Everyone taking part, will receive the record by post without further cost as soon as its produced. Go here to order

The gig in Township Nyanga's Arts Centre was our last performance on our Africa tour, but a very sweet one! In the evening we meet all the people from Pro Helvetia Cape Town for dinner. 

The next day we drive down to Cape of Good Hope which is one of the most impessing things you can see. At the Cape the cold Atlantic Ocean and the warm Indian Ocean meet. You can't see that really but feel it.. Back in Cape Town we take the cable car up to Table Mountain to watch the sunset. Pictures!! 

Last day in Cape Town: We visit some record shops to promote our album and meet people: Damian from Pioneer Unit Records (Rattex' label), E.J and Collin Miller from Pro Helvetia to talk about future plans. 
Especially we wanna thank our Tourmanager Tracy September, great job you did!!!
OK, folks that's it from Mablog. Read ya next time when Filewile is around the world.

Watch out for our Switzerland concert in january!

Sunday afternoon we play a small but lovely gig at the Munk Store in Melville (thanks Dylan!) next to where we live. Some of the very nice people from the night before came to see Filewile again like the promoter of the party the night before Domimique aka DJ D-Uneek and the hostess with the mostest, Masello, Breece, Garfield, Zipo, Zamo, Franny… THANK YOU FRIENDS!!

Monday: sightseeing Joburg and on the way to Soweto we pass by the new main stadium for the football worldcup 2010. Soweto (South West Township) was home of Mandela as well as Bishopf Tutu and was the center point of the fight against Apartheit. Both got the Peace Nobel Price and lived in the same street.

On Tuesday lovely 500km road trip to Maputo-Mosambik, the boarder is very fun...

Wed, 23 nov 8 AM: Filewile at Zürich Airport with the mission to get 40kgs extra weight (equipment) on a Swiss plane. Picture the young man working at the check-in desk (Hochstrasser) saying „I’m sure you don’t want to know how much it is gonna cost you..“. We don’t hesitate, pay sFr. 2000.- (!) and Hochstrasser didn’t quite believe what he saw..

In Dar Es Salaam (Tansania) we’re picked up by Chicu from the Swiss Embassy. Sleeping in Mövenpick Hotel.. Next day sightseeing with our sista Mikhela whom we know from Berne. She is working on a film about women in Tansania. Mikhela brings us to the whitest beach we’ve ever been to, see the pictures on facebook!!

The gig in Sweet Eazy is very nice, people enjoy it a lot! The Club is owned by Swiss guys Reto and Tom and because it’s the „Swiss Night“ we also meet the Swiss Embassador Adrian Schläpfer. After the gig no sleep and directly to Dar airport, take off for RSA.

In Johannesburg we are picked up by Tracy from Pro Helvetia and tour photographer Suede. We meet Pedro Da Silva from 340ml to work together on a brand new track which will become the new summer hit!! Then Radio live interwiew at SAfm with one of South African’s most famous journalists Michelle Constant and national airplay. The gig at Arts On Main is fantastic, the young and hip crowd falls in love with Joy and are excited about the performance together with Pedro. Folks talk about us to be the „most refreshing act Johannesburg has seen in years (even ever..)“.

Some Quotes on Filewile's Album Blueskywell:

Musicweek UK: Filewile tap into the madcap genius tradition started by
fellow swiss agent provocateurs Yello….

Der Bund Switzerland: …Ihr neues Album ist ein Meisterwerk mit Hit und höchst holprigen Beats…

Strangefruitmusic UK: they actually do sound weird but in a good way…So if you think you are ready for something that kinda sounds familiar but turns out to be something completely different I suggest you check ‘em out!

music.ch: …Alles närrisch gut und autark. “Blueskywell” ist der Pop des
nächsten Jahrzehnts…

Mahoganyblog USA: …So instead of breaking the adjectives out, have a listen for
yourself and think Groove Armada meets Erykah Badu after
they split a pill….

Bieler Tagblatt: ….spacig und elektrisierend, gespickt mit Effekten aus einem Science-Fiction- Film der Siebziger.….Ein Berner Produkt mit globalem Charme.

Annabelle: …Die Schweizer Band-Ueberraschung des Jahres.

Themahoganyblog: …So instead of breaking the adjectives out, have a listen for yourself and think Groove Armada meets Erykah Badu after they split a pill….

Neue Luzerner Zeitung: …Gut gepolstert, mit starken Basspulsen, vielseitiger Stimme und urbaner Aufgedrehtheit.

Flyglobal UK: …And if you can imagine Ozzy Osborne doing 8-bit cover versions of Augustus Pablo (not as bad as it sounds), go for ‘King Of The World’. In fact, this could be the track of the album but there’s some stiff competition with Joy giving her best Grace Jones impression on ‘Iron Lady’ that gets a guest appearance by another FLY favourite, RQM) .
