FAUN “VON DEN ELBEN” GOES PLATINUM
Wow!!! what beautiful summer days and what amazing news. Our CD “Von den Elben” got a Platinum Award.
Our big thank you, to everybody who was involved in this success.
Years ago, when we were sitting at the bonfires and sang songs of noble knights, trolls and nature religion, we would have never even dared to dream about such a success.
So we raise our glasses, to everyone who was helping us and also to everybody who was listening to our songs and visited us at our concerts. This mesmerizing adventure “FAUN” doesn’t stop to surprise and enchant us. Therefore we already looking forward to the next chapters in this wonderful book called “FAUN” and of course we still sing our songs of noble knights, trolls and nature religion with our deepest conviction and from the bottom of our hearts. Yours FAUN.

FAUN “LUNA” NOMINATED FOR THE ECHO (MUSIC AWARD)
Just a couple of days ago so many people crossed their fingers for our participation at the Eurovision Song contest preshow, and now comes the next event. We are nominated for the biggest German music award the “Echo” in the category “Rock/Pop Band national”.

Therefore, a big thank you to everybody who participated in “LUNA” and to the people, fans and friends, who stayed by our side for all those years.
On 26th of March we will be in Berlin for the awards. You can follow the show live on German TV at ARD 8:15 pm.

FAUN LUNA TOUR
Thank you very much!!!
Although we organized and rehearsed for many months, we never knew how everything will work out in the end. We would have never guessed that everything would work out that well. Therefore a big THANK-YOU to the best crew in the world, to everybody who helped us realize this tour and to the enthusiastic audience. The first two sold out shows were amazing and maybe the most important part in this might be the absolutely euphoric atmosphere in the venues.
Dear Faun audience, you are the best!!!
Today we will rest a day and than our tour will continue to Bamberg, Würzburg, Bielefeld, Hannover and many other cities. Looking forward very keenly, yours FAUN.

Therefore a very BIG THANK YOU !!!!!!!!!
It was a pleasure to share the stage with so many gifted and friendly colleagues.

FAUN AT THE EUROVISION SONG CONTEST PRESHOW 5th Mar. 2015, 8.15pm on ARD (German TV)
We will participate in this huge TV event, that decides, which band is going to represent Germany at the Eurovision Song Contest.
Germany has such a beautiful heritage of poetry and traditional folk music. From our very early days on, we got a huge part of our inspiration from this cultural heritage. Therefore we believe, that we would be a good choice to represent Germany at the ESC.
We will participate with our two songs “Hörst du die Trommeln” and “Abschied”. Right now we build a big wooden stage decoration ourselves. We rearranged the two songs, rehearse a lot and are pretty nervous about this big TV event with more than 5 Million viewers. We also know, that this world of glamour and big TV shows will never be our home and that we would feel much more comfortable at a medieval market instead. But we believe in what we do. We believe, that we can raise an interest there for myths and fairy tales and that theses myths of mermaids, elves and ghosts that dwell under a full moon do make our world more alive. And only a world that is perceived as alive will get the respect that it deserves to be protected and valued.
So please help us, watch the show and call for us, because the winner will be selected by telephone votings.
This might be a very big opportunity for us and for sure another crazy adventure on this marvelous journey.
Yours FAUN.

FAUN LUNA – Live & Acoustic in Berlin (release: 27.2.2015)
While rehearsing our LUNA TOUR last November we discovered that some of the LUNA songs sound fantastic as a stripped down acoustic version. We simply wanted to record them and thus organized a small acoustic concert in Berlin last December 2014, where we positioned a lot of microphones.

On the 27th February 2015 we will release this recorded session as “FAUN LUNA – live & acoustic in Berlin”. We decided to do this as a double CD including the Standard edition of LUNA, because LUNA has a lot of meaning and depth for us, including the artwork, the explanation texts and the wholeness of the songs. To only release a few of these songs separated from the rest would not have felt right for us. But we will release this double CD in a noble digipack, only 1,- Euro more expensive than the regular price for a single CD in a plastic jewel case. On the bonus CD are 7 Acoustic songs from the Berlin session, the 2 songs that we re-recorded and rearranged for the Eurovision song contest and one remix of Walpurgisnacht by the genious Christopher Juul (Euzen, Valravn).

We are already looking forward to this acoustic gem and wish you lovely moonlit nights with it, yours FAUN.
