We are very excited to announce that our new single, ‘Like a Wheel’ will be released on June 18th. We have filmed a new video for Like a Wheel which we think is pretty breathtaking! It’s just us & a few of our friends, several thousand gallons of water, a camera, and an impressive feat of human endurance from Beukes.

The video was filmed in one shot with no cuts or special effects.

The Like a Wheel music video will premiere on TV tomorrow, Friday June 4th at 10pm on German TV station VIVA.

We are very proud of it and would love to hear your thoughts, so go watch it and come let us know what you think on the forums!

‘Like a Wheel’, from the album Sign Language will be released in stores across Germany, Switzerland & Austria on June 18th. The 2-track release
also features an all-new version …

 

We finally got the confirmation that we will be part of this year’s line-up at Germany’s biggest rock festivals, Rock Am Ring & Rock Im Park!

We are very happy about the news and can’t wait to play!

This year’s bill includes Muse, RATM, Them Crooked Vultures, 30 Seconds To Mars, Kiss and many more…

Apart from these shows it looks like we will be having a very busy festival summer with almost thirty festivals already confirmed.

Check our Live page for more details

We look forward to seeing you out there!

 

SIGN LANGUAGE TOUR DIARY, PART 1

Here we go, I finally managed to find some time to share some tour highlights with you!

Two weeks ago we embarked on the second leg of our ‘Sign Language Tour’, this time for a whole month. 22 shows in 27 days! The most intense touring we have done to this day… and so far it’s been an amazing experience!

Apart from six great shows being played there is a whole lot more going on during our first week of touring:

After only two shows our lighting man Falk has to leave the tour for a few days due to a stomach bug. When he returns for the Munich show something much more radical has happened in the meantime. Our Swedish support band ‘Takida’ had been driving on the Autobahn, when in the middle of the night the engine of their tour bus …

 

Livingston has been invited to play the Twilight: New Moon Fan Event on April 10th in Berlin.

The show will be at Hanger 2 in Tempelhof Berlin, and will also feature Jennifer Rostock

The doors open at 14:00, the show begins at 18:00 and ends at 22:00.

More information can be found on the New Moon website, The fan event website, and the new moon facebook page

Buy your tickets here.

The venue will be themed to match the movie, and two stars from the movie will be making an appearance. We are told around 5000 people should be there, so it should be …

 

Today the video for our single “Broken” topped 1 million views on Youtube. Thanks to Johanna! As a way of saying thanks we’d like to invite her to any show of her choosing from the upcoming Sign Language 2010 tour dates. We’ll set aside two tickets for her to claim by contacting us here at webteam@livingstonmusic.de.

Hello everyone,

we have a few appearances on German TV coming up this week, here are the dates:

Monday 22nd
TV Berlin, 9.30am

Tuesday 23rd
ZDF Morgenmagazin, 8am

Thursday 25th
Hamburg 1 Fruehcafe, 7.15am

 

As of today our new single 'Go’ is available as a download from Amazon.de and Musicload.de!

The physical cd copy will be released on Friday (19 Feb) and can be pre-ordered here.
(That one you should be able to purchase even if you live outside Germany)

The 2-track single includes a previously unreleased acoustic version of 'Go’, which we recorded in Long Beach, California last summer.

If you don’t mind, go and buy the single this week, to up our chances of getting a really high Chart entry. We really appreciate your support!

 

We are very sorry to announce that the 22 Feb London show at the Hoxton Bar & Grill has been re-scheduled! The concert will still take place at the same venue, on 27 April 2010.

We hope that we haven’t caused you too much trouble with this, the tickets from the 22 Feb show will stay valid for the concert on 27 April.

The re-scheduling is due to a major German tv show which has booked us for the same day. This is an opportunity which we simply could not turn down. We hope you understand this and look forward to seeing you all in April.

In fact we can’t wait!

 

As most of you might already know, ‘Go’ has been chosen by German broadcaster ZDF as the official song to the Winter Olympics.

You can watch some of the ‘Go’ / Olympics tv trailers here:

Trailer 1
Trailer 2
Trailer 3
Trailer 4
Trailer 5

 

The video to our new single ‘Go’ is now finished and available for its premiere right here on our website. Like its predecessor ‘Broken’, the majority of the video was shot in California.

Watch it here.

 

It’s about time to introduce you to the two bands that will support us on our ‘Sign Language Tour 2010’:

TAKIDA will be with us during the first half of the tour. They are from Sweden, where they have been playing in the big league for a while. A few golden records and Swedish Grammies later they are now branching out to Germany and we are happy to lend them a helping hand.

REISEGRUPPE FISCHER are an exciting newcomer band from the south of Germany and we look forward to having them play with us on the second half of the tour.

We are very happy to have both of these bands onboard!

You can buy your tickets for the ‘Sign Language Tour 2010’ here.

 

Livingston will be returning home to London for a show on Feb 22nd at the Hoxton Square Bar & Kitchen. More details to come.

 

The wait is over, we have decided on our next single! On 19 February ‘Go’ will be released as the 2nd single off our album ‘Sign Language’.

And if that wasn’t enough, the song will also be featured as the official Winter Olympics song with German major TV broadcaster ZDF. All of that will happen in February, only to be followed by our ‘Sign Language Tour 2010’ in March!
