SHAKRA - 25 YEARS!

 

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 still existing after 25 years of Rock'n'Roll. [...] I am ready for the next 25 years!" The band has experienced several highs and lows together, survived turbulences and they also kept their eyes dead on target. This is also reflected in their multiple and regular chart entries in Germany e.g. #53, #69, #72 and more) and of course in Switzerland (e.g. #1, 2x #2, #3, #4, #7 and so on) in all those years. The quintet is ready to celebrate with their fans, in proper style with hard, catchy and energetic rock music on their new album "Mad World". SHAKRA don't need to prove themselves. No, they play music with obvious passion. Here's to another 25 years!
