Hello, SHATOO fans!

We are happy to announce that the second SHATOO album "Life" is finally re-released on CD thanks to Norske Albumklassikere. The crowd-funded release was successful and the album has been completely remastered from the original CD. You can purchase it at NorskeAlbumklassikere.no.

Vi er glade for å fortelle at the andre SHATOO albumet "Life" endelig er reutgitt på CD, takket være Norske Albumklassikere. Albumet ble utgitt med hjelp av Bidra.no, og heldigvis kom vi i mål. Albumet har blitt fullstendig remastret fra den originale Sharatima CDen. Kan bestilles på NorskeAlbumklassikere.no.

Hello, SHATOO fans!

It is our pleasure to announce that the debut SHATOO album "A True Story" is now being added to the series "Norske Albumklassikere på CD". This series aims to bring out-of-print Norwegian music back on CD through crowdfunding. While our re-issue of "A True Story" from 2013 provided a decent remaster from the original CD release, this release will be properly remastered from the original master tapes! We couldn't be more excited and hope you will order a copy via Bidra.no.

Vi kan med stor glede meddele at debutalbumet til SHATOO, "A True Story", nå blir tilgjengelig i serien "Norske Albumklassikere på CD". Serien har som mål å få ut norsk musikk som enten aldri har vært utgitt på CD, eller har vært utilgjengelig på CD lenge. Vi ga ut "A True Story" på nytt i 2013, remastra fra den originale CD utgaven fra 1987, men den nye utgaven på Norske Albumklassikere vil bli remastrert fra de originale master-tapene. Du kan bestille en kopi via Bidra.no.

Hello, SHATOO fans! It's been a while since our latest update and given our website was in need of a makeover, our webmaster Alyxx Digre aka Technomancer has taken it on her to redesign the website to make it more suitable for phones and tablet devices. The content hasn't changed so you can still view a slice of SHATOO in the Archive section where we store our memories. To stay up to date on news, make sure to follow us on Facebook!

OK peeps, we've got a live one!
A 2-track digital single entitled "Movies" will be released in the first week of May. Mixing is finished, and the two tracks, one "Radio Edit" and one "Single Version by Technomancer feat. Angst Pop", will be sent to mastering asap by ex-YELLO member Carlos Perón who also did the mastering on "Nothing That I Wouldn't Do" and the remastering of the reissues for "A True Story", "Life" and Dag's solo-album, "Tranquillity". It's been a long and winding road, and we've gotten your hopes up more than once unfortunately, but this time it's for real, we pinky promise!
We'd also like to inform you that some new pictures have been added to our photo album in the 80's section. Head there now to check out some pictures of Dag and Øystein signing "A True Story" at Rogers Platebar in Tønsberg, Norway in 1988!

STAY TUNED!

During the past 6 months, it has become evident to us that Geir Bratland's busy schedule with Dimmu Borgir and God Seed was incompatible with the schedule of Shatoo. Even though it hurts us, we also want to and have to move forward, so as a result of this, Geir has now left Shatoo to proceed with his very successful work on his side. Shatoo sends Geir the best wishes and all the best of luck for the future as we now part ways with him on the very best of terms. As his replacement, a powerful woman has now entered the boys-club, and Hanne Kristine Haugsand aka Psykosister known from her work with Pust, Charmed and Tundra Mode will be joining Shatoo on vocals, keyboards and production work! We are very familiar with Hanne's previous work and we're sure that she'll provide an edge and a touch to the Shatoo material and our live-experience that will enhance our output in a fantastic way! Welcome Hanne! :D

We are sad to inform you that Shatoo will NOT be performing in Oslo tomorrow, May 1st, due to unsolved disputes with the promotor.
We are sorry about this, and promise that we will have a new gig set up in Oslo as soon as possible.
Those of you that bought tickets to see Shatoo, should e-mail Electronic Sound Sweden at marko.runne@live.se to get your tickets refunded.
This cancellation does in no way reflect on Rational Youth, Psyche or I Satellite or any of the members in these bands, and we hope that you'll be giving them your ongoing support as well!
