Shim speaks about negativity in time of renewal

The start of the upcoming month march will see two artists touring the United States that both have much life exerience. They've faced the darker side of life and share what they've come along with the listener. In some or another way they also hand a advice on how to react in such situations.

Shim is going to hit the road in March 2019 along with Madame Mayhem as opening act.

Shim had to rework and reintervent his life after his split with the band Sick Puppies to be able to move on. He recalls many people standing in his way during this period. But he used the input to make something of it - as inspiration to create lyrics to his music.

"The video portrays the dilemma that when faced with a life changing decision it won’t just change your life, it will change the person you become within it. Over the course of the last couple of years of rebuilding and reinventing myself, I had a lot of people try and dissuade me, or attempt to stop me, or attempt to Crucify me. How you handle yourself under those circumstances dictates the person you will become.

This is who I am.

I am SHIM"



Madame Mayhem talks about the unpleasant surprises we all have to deal with in life. Is there any way out of this?  The artist shares her view on this "(...) There’s no escaping the darkness. Life is full of unpleasant surprises. Real and  imagined disasters, from outside forces and from within, threaten at every turn. But those who learn to control and command the chaos will triumph.(...)".



Since music talks much stronger than words ever  make sure to show up to the shows. Nothing's ever as intense and makes you learn quickly than being at the venue for yourselves. And it gives fresh power to move on with your own life.
