News: What is happening in the world of Madrugada and on this page? I try to stay as updated as possible, and I will try to bring you the latest rumours and facts concerning Madrugada. Of course, you will also be able to read all the interesting stuff about what has been updated or changed on this very webpage.
March 26th 2003 - Some updates to
The Concert Chronology, thanks to Christophe Dehousse and silva from the
Discussion Forum for the information. According to Cristophe, twenty-two minutes of Madrugada's concert at Ancienne Belgique in Brussels, Belgium on the 23rd was broadcast live on radio by Studio Brussel. The band also did an in-store performance at a record store in Strasbourg called FNAC on the 25th, playing, amongst others, "Love's Institution," the bonus track from "Grit."
March 21st 2003 - Madrugada's European tour kicked off at 013 in Tilburg, The Netherlands on March 18th. The setlist from that concert and the following two that have taken place so far are available in
The Concert Chronology. Thanks to Leo Postma, Marc Verhees, Ydwine Zanstra and Daniel van den Ham for submitting these setlists.
There has been a lot of confusion regarding whether a single for "Majesty" would be released or not. March 3rd was listed as the release date, but most have never seen the single for sale anywhere. The single has been officially released, and March 3rd was the official release date, but the single is only available in 'selected European countries.' The best chance for getting ahold of "Majesty" should be to order it online, for example at
CDon.
The single features the title track plus "7 Seconds" and the previously unreleased "I'm Not Afraid" in live renditions taken from the "Grit" record release party performance at Silverwings in Berlin, Germany on October 17th 2002. These two songs were recorded by Radio Eins. The cover is black and featues a small picture of a different version of the shoe picture also seen on the cover of "Grit" and "Ready," and for some reason the CD is copy protected.
