<p> Dear Kisskissbanker,<br /> <br /> we seem to have disappeared, but we did not ! The project you've decided to support is still on its way, the way just turned out to be slightly longer than we thought, as it often is. The summer came, each of us directing his attention to different things, and some major changes happened within the band, actually making the band split.<br /> <br /> Dear you, we are sorry to anounce, that the Knoblauch Klezmer Band is not existing anymore.<br /> <br /> This means that there will be no more concerts. What remains, are good memories for all, and an album, like the last picture of a strange animal before its last breath.<br /> <br /> Though the band is no more, its former members are still here, living their lives further and fulfilling the promises they took in the name of the band. The album you supported is already recorded. We are now taking care of the concrete details, designing a cover fitting the soul of the Knoblauchs, pressing the CDs and registering the rights for the music.<br /> <br /> In the next couple of months (I am being not too precise on purpose), you will hold it in your hands and ears. We hope you will enjoy it as much as we enjoyed creating it !<br /> <br /> Knoblauchly yours,</p>

<p> Hello ! </p> <p>  </p> <p> We understood that credit card is not necessarily such common thing, at least in Germany. Without one, you can't contribute directly on the KissKissBankBank page, but there is an other option !</p> <p>  </p> <p> You can make a transfer on the account which gathers the donations. Even though it is not being made directly through the page, the same conditions apply, you receive the corresponding reward and receive your donation back if the project doesn't reach its goal. Don't forget to write us a message on the page, mentioning the reward you wish and your adress.</p> <p>  </p> <p> The amount of the donation will then be transfered by us to the page, under the name of the band, as we did not figure out yet another better way to do it :)</p> <p>  </p> <p> So <u><strong>for those of you without a credit card, despairing to support us, make a transfer ! Just write, we will send you the data.</strong></u></p> <p>  </p> <p> Thanks a lot for your understanding, and no worries, this is no account in the Caiman Islands (at least not this one) !</p> <p>  </p> <p> You can also meet us and support us directly at a concert. The next occasion is <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/1466766413577058/" target="_blank">here</a> on Friday, in Berlin, and we play acoustic !</p> <p>  </p> <p> Garlicly yours,</p> <p>  </p> <p> The Knoblauch Klezmer Band</p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="1-1409518473" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/115999/1-1409518473.jpg" /></p>
