Kraftwerk have announced three US dates leading up to their previously announced show at the Coachella Festival in April on their MySpace page at www.myspace.com/kraftwerk

Apart from the dates there is nothing new reported on the official MySpace hub which is as sober as the band's music. Do have a visit, as the live MTV Music Awards video and a special flash micro site embedded on the page could be interesting for some hardcore fans. Below are the first confirmed concert dates:

* April 19 Minneapolis - Myth
* April 20 Milwaukee - The Eagles Ballroom
* April 23 Denver - Filmore Auditorium
* April 26 Indio - Coachela Music Festival

Ireland's Empire State Human have announced that Wolfgang Flur (from Kraftwerk fame) will be joining ESH on a track for their next studio album "Audio Gothic".

ESH are the first Irish band ever to work with a member of the legendary band Kraftwerk and probably also the first synthpop band from the scene also. Lead singer Aidan Casserly says: "It's an incredible time for ESH. We never imagined we would get to work with such an icon of the electronic genre, let alone have him on board for our next studio album. It gives us great satisfaction to be breaking new ground on behalf of the synth/electro scene. Wolfgang worked with Mouse On Mars member on his Yamo album, but working with us is a first for the synth scene and Ireland. It's a very proud announcement. We hope this news will lead us to a contract for an EU label for ESH. Currently, we're only signed in North America with Ninthwave Records, so we're open to offers here in Europe if any labels are out there!"

Kraftwerk on rihma lõdvemaks laskmas. Teeb ka koostööd teistega, laseb enda lugusid remixida juba (loodetavasti ametlikult ikka?), kuigi alles hiljuti kaebas ühe kohtusse, et kasutas KW plaadi artwork'i..
