Hi friends. Hope you all had a relaxing Christmas and are ready for a great new year.

When it comes to 1099, 2013 should be its most exciting year so far. We actually started playing together in 2003, so this is our ten year anniversary as well.

But first a few words about 2012. Most importantly we got our former drummer back. Thomas had to go to Oslo for work, but Pål was available for us again and getting him back in the band was just great. We spent a lot of time on recording, mixing, cover design and mastering of our debut album. The final mastering was done in November, and we are very pleased with the result. We also signed with a label to release the album on vinyl. It is a quite new label but they have already had some great releases in 2012, and lots more to come in 2013. They are called Doognad Records and you should check them out at www.doognadrecords.com

That leads us to 2013 and the new album. The album is self-titled and the vinylrelease will be in the first week of march. The digital version one or two weeks earlier. The album consists of 7 songs, and the total runtime is around 75 minutes. We will play a concert to celebrate the release on the 8th of march. The venue will be Blæst in Trondheim. We will have more info on who will join us in the near future. We are also looking into playing some other concerts around the country, but this is still in the early planning so more news on that when and if it happens.

Stay tuned to our facebookpage and we will have some smaller updates there in the next couple of weeks.
