May 13, 2008, 16 years ago
BW&BK; is able to unveil the first official band logo and photo for Canuck power thrashers BËEHLER, the band featuring the frontman-behind-the-skins Dan Beehler (ex-EXCITER), former Exciter bassist Allan Johnson and guitarists Sean Brophy and Scott Walsh. The four-piece are readying new material and gearing up for a rare live appearance at Germany's Headbangers Open Air Festival, which is scheduled to take place July 24th - 26th, 2008 in Brande-Hörnerkirchen, Germany.
"It did come up rather suddenly," Beehler told BW&BK; about his resurfacing recently. "In the fall, I was approached by all of the guys in the original Beehler project about possibly releasing some of the old stuff we had recorded - we have about ten songs and all kinds of different things. We started talking about and Scotty wanted to release it, Brophy wanted to do some new songs. It took a lot of talk and I listened to a lot of stuff Brophy and Johnson had written. Scotty and I had been working on some new stuff too. We have about ten songs on the go now. When I heard the riffs and stuff I thought 'this is heavy, this is cool.' I I said, 'if we are going to release this, I don't want to just release the old stuff, we should do a half n' half thing with new tunes and put the old stuff on as bonus tracks. People are still scrambling to get that old stuff and it would be a great package to release. This went over a few months and into the new year we started working on new material. All of a sudden out of the blue, we were asked to do the Headbangers Open Air show and we thought it was the perfect opportunity to get the ball rolling. We agreed to it and we're in rehearsals now and back doing the old Exciter stuff which is great. And hopefully we'll record the album in the fall."
