*dew* After turbulent times in the USA and more than 100 concerts in Switzerland and in neighboring countries, dew have recorded their second long-player in Basel. The new record is called „calm the noise“. The new songs are in dew’s distinctive style – Nicole’s voice and the diversity of her guitar playing – increasingly enhanced by rich bass runs and soulful beats. The 13 songs in the album „calm the noise“ are about holding on, about moving forward, but also about typical dew-themes such as death and let¬ting go. Dew consists of singer-songwriter Nicole Schelker, bass player Sandra Müller and drummer Fabio Leone. Dew’s latest CD „moments to dwell“, recorded in the USA with Larry Crane (Elliot Smith, The Go-Betweens, Jenny Lewis) has opened new and impressive avenues for the band. Dew’s first solo-album quickly created much interest. The song „words“ was discovered by the DRS3 SOUNDS!- Team and promptly chosen as the „song of the week“. Furthermore, Radio Suisse Romande invited dew to Lau¬sanne for a live- performance and radio SWR3 included „moments to dwell“ in its programme. This was followed by concerts in renowned clubs: Rote Fabrik- Zürich, FriSon- Fribourg, Auditorium- Freiburg (DE), Grabenhalle- St. Gallen, les temps modernes- Vevey, Mahogany Hall- Bern, St. Gervais- Biel and many more. Dew supported international acts as Thomas Dybdahl (NO), Emily Haines (USA), Benjamin Biolay (FR) und Boy Omega (SWE) and dew has a coveted artist deal with Martin Guitars!
