”Merry Christmas and a Happy new year, dear Friends, Brothers, and Sisters!
We want to take the opportunity to announce the end of The Poodles journey together as a band, and what an amazing experience it has been!
Over the last 12 years we have travelled the roads together, created beautiful music, faught, laughed, loved, and dreamed!
Alas, every ship must find a port e no matter how great the journey!
We have cherished every moment and every encounter along the way. We want to thank the many people who helped and collaborated with us, some only briefly, others for longer periods of time; all in the service of rock! You know who you are!
Also a very special THANK YOU to our fantastic fans and audiences for following us on the road, appreciating our music and for supporting us in every way! Without you, nothing of this would have been possible, we wish you all the very best!!!
Now, the future is yet to be written and we hope to see you soon, somehow, somewhere!
Salute and Farewell for now!”
