Shakra celebrates their 25 year anniversary
For a quarter of a century “Shakra” has been part of the music circus. Only someone who’s been in a band before, knows how fragile und exhausting this kind of social fabric is. 25 years is a very long time and only a few acts can make this distance. “Shakra” made it and it doesn’t look like they’ll give up sometime soon. Quite the contrary!
Guitarist, Thom Blunier, points out: “I’m extremely proud and thankful, that this band is stil existing after 25 years of Rock’n’Roll. Those of you who have a clue the difficulties of extisting as a band know, how precious and exceptional this is. I am ready for the next 25 years!”
The band has experienced turbulent times with highs and lows together, but have always kept their eyes dead on target. This is also reflected in their multiple and regular chart entries in Germany and of course in Switzerland throughout those years. Eleven new cracking rock tracks in typical “Shakra” manner are going to be the new album “Mad World”. This world is mad indeed. Things that used to be good yesterday, have become bad today, things that held a certain value yesterdays,have become worthless today.
“Mad World” will be released on February 28th 2020.
