The last few weeks I've mentioned a special surprise for the upcoming tour. I had to keep this a secret for a long time since things weren't official yet. But today I can finally announce the surprise! As part of the All Boro Kings 15th anniversary tour Dog Eat Dog will release two special versions of the All Boro Kings album!!! What's so special about them? One version will be completely in German and the other completely in Dutch!
The idea for translating All Boro Kings started back in 2007. Dave Neabore heard Avril Lavigne's sing Girlfriend in a range of languages including French, German, Italian and even Japanse. The song was a huge success and her album sold out everywhere. Since Dog Eat Dog has a lot of fans in German or Dutch speaking countries it made sense to follow Avril Lavigne idea.
I know most of you were pretty disappointed with the lack of shows last year. But there was a good reason Dog Eat Dog only played one show in 2008. The whole band worked hard last year translating the lyrics and re-recording the old classics in German and Dutch. JC has spent most of last year learning to speak and sing in German and Dutch.
Unfortunately I'm still not allowed to reveal all the details. The band hasn't decided under which name the translations will be released. Also I can't reveal the publisher yet but a major recordlabel will release the German and Dutch versions in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, The Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg later this year. The band hopes to have the German and Dutch versions in stores in time for the All Boro Kings 15th anniversary tour. Ofcourse you can also buy the new ABK albums during one of the Dog Eat Dog concerts later this year!
