The band recently issued the following update:

"Dear Blackies and Blackettes!

This has been a cool summer. In fact, it has been a very cool year so far. And we're still rolling strong. Right now we're working on getting gigs for fall and winter. Have you seen the schedule? We're going to hit Cham, the Börsencrash Festival in Wuppertal, the Sundown Festival in Günzburg, and our homebase, the B-Hof in Würzburg. As always, you can find all the info at (the freshly redesigned!) www.thenewblackofficial.de.

We already played a bunch of exciting shows in 2009, no doubt, one of them being at the Summer Breeze Festival. We went on really, really early, but didn't care. And neither did those of you who showed up as well. Thanks! From this show, we have a kick-ass live clip for you! Watch it below.

For a picture gallery from Summer Breeze, click here. There's also a bunch of cool new photos on our site, over at laut.de, and even better ones on the very good Black Rose Pictures site.

More videos? Sure. :) Eva from Music Mirror filmed parts of our show in Munich in July and wrote a cool review. Enjoy!

In other news, we have opened the official, brand spanking new TNB Store! You can get all our stuff there for pretty cheap. Payment is easy via PayPal, but you can also use bank transfer and credit cards. We ship worldwide!

And there's a new item, the equally brandnew and definitely megasexy 'Godmachine Girlie' which will be available next week.

Next on the list: the new album Friends, we're writing and working and rocking and rolling. Sounds good so far, with some surprises and a lot of heavy guitars. But it's too early to tell you too much...

That's all for now. Stay rockin'..."
