“Dear friends.
After some considerations The Thing wants to announce to take a break. Change is in the air and change is the only certain thing in life.
Right now we don’t know what the future of the band will bring but let us celebrate the past 20 years of joy and holy madness together.
Life and music will go on!”

Thanx for sharing concerts, music , recording and time with us over the years – dear audience and all related!
