STandART will support “VNV Nation” at club Tapper, Tallinn, Estonia on April 16 along with the Estonian band “Forgotten Sunrise”. Tickets: from 17 EUR. A special support bus Riga-Tallinn-Riga is organized.

As you might know, “Autumn News” is originally written in collaboration with the Polish musician Hien and STandART performed the track together with the Latvian singer-songwriter Goran Gora at the BILDES 2010 festival. Thanks to your warm response, we decided to record the new version with additional vocals by Goran and Kalvis in the studio as well. Now it is available as a free download HERE.

We also invite you to visit Goran Gora – Live at Sapņu Fabrika (Dream Factory), Riga, on January 19. Goran Gora website HERE.
