The king of super-superficial pop is here:
RICARDO FANTASTICO!

Today we'd like to recommend you a new and exciting fame-seeking artist! His name is RICARDO FANTASTICO! Noone knows where he came from, but everyone was waiting for him of course. He is like a male Lady Gaga. Everyone will love him. He's got millions of fans (soon) and already spreads the word on every social network he knows about. Now, he just released his debut album called "My romantic fantasy" on iTunes! We think this is fantastico! His songs all sound very similar so that you won't feel irritated. They don't make you think and keep you in light mood. It's what people seem to like and RICARDO is here to make you all happy!

Here is a spectacular video of RICARDO himself explaining 10 reasons why everyone should buy his album:



Please check out this links including some awesome media coverage and of course his beautiful website which also includes a fantastico audio-trailer, that you really need to check out! Also don't forget to check out his cool myspace page. Add him there and on Twitter, too!

Richard Kapp & The Gowns are back from UK!



We are back from our UK-Mini-Tour! It was a wonderful time. We all enjoyed it very, very much! Both gigs (London & Brighton) were amazing - each in its own right. London was very special as I finally met Woodstock Taylor (a good friend and musician, she is on many of my albums) after 5 years. We even performed our internet-collaboration "So Dirty" (which you can find on our latest album "Lunchbox") together. For the first time live. I also met a friend of mine whom I haven't seen for approx. 10 years. The gig went very well with lots of feedback by everyone. Thank you so much! Also, the gig of BirdEatsBaby was fantastic. The took so much care of us, it's unbelievable. The hospitality of Mish (bandleader of BirdEatsBaby) left us speechless. Thank you so much, Mish!



Brighton (what a charming town!) also was great but we had to play late so there was less audience but we enjoyed ourselves a lot on stage. It was pure fun! And being able to walk from the venue to the beach was priceless! Lovely. We hope to see the fabulous BirdEatsBaby again soon. And thank you everyone for following our adventures on Twitter and Facebook! :)

There are also two videos of our performance at thelatest bar in Brighton that you can watch here:



Cheers & thank you again Mish & Dara, Keely, Philippa, Garry!
Richard

PS: Check out a new song called "Overcome" that I immediately composed and recorded when I came back to Vienna (find it on the player to your right). Yeah, I know it's a sad song, but I miss UK. :)

Sharing stage with Cassis & The Sympathies and Matt Keating @ Local/Vienna


Richard and his lovely Gowns feel honoured to share stage with two fantastic acts coming from NY. Cassis, producer of Jim Jarmusch's "Coffee & Cigarettes", is composing beautiful cinematic songs that will tingle in your ear. Matt Keating is going to perform songs from his album "Between Customers", that was recorded while being on the road in the US by bassplayer and co-producer Jason Mercer (Ron Sexsmith, Ani DiFranco). Richard and his Gowns (full line-up including Christian Gold on trumpet) are going to perform some brandnew songs and have their pockets full of surprises. You don't wanna miss this. Click here for more info on the date and location. Hope to see you there!
