"I have written an article for the German site "Underground Empire" about the legendary Russian rock band Gorky Park. You can find it here: http://www.underground-empire.com Enjoy! ~ Mike Breeze"
December 31, 2011
"Happy new dragon's year to all of Mirror & Solowshow* fans! Let's rock in 2012 together! I am sending these congratulations to all of you, but people from Kharkov/Ukraine asked me for a special message and I created a little video for them: vkontakte.ru/video86803061_161679939 . Check it out! See ya! M.B."
August 1, 2011
"My article about Queen (dedicated to their 40th anniversary) was published in ROCKCOR in the August issue. And my article about X Japan will be published in the September issue. Sadly, on 17. July 2011, Taiji Sawada died, aged just 45. I love all X Japan members, but he was one of my special heroes. Not only because he also played bass. I loved his tasteful bass & guitar playing, his songwriting, his image and his wonderful paintings. I hope there will be a Taiji exhibition sometime soon! Taiji ever free, heroes never die! R.I.H.! (Rock In Heaven!) Stay tuned for Mirror and Solowshow* news sometime soon... and stay alive! - CU - Mike" TAIJI SAWADA (1966-2011)
May 2, 2011
"I am still alive! There have not been many news from the MIRROR camp since my gig with
RA:IN (feat. Pata of X JAPAN www.xjapanmusic.com)
in Berlin in 2009. Our second album is unfortunately not ready yet, due to technical reasons.
But I was not lazy, and besides the MIRROR work, also took part in a
number of other projects: I was asked by the oldest Russian rock magazine Rockcor to write a comprehensive
obituary in memory of MANOWAR's charming drummer Scott Columbus, who
died on 4. April 2011 aged just 54. You will be able to purchase the
journal on their site www.rockcor.ru . However, there are also some good news! I've been writing songs with the bands EUROZIMA www.myspace.com/evrozima,
SATARIAL www.myspace.com/satarialrussian and my old stage partner Leif "Dancette" Astroid www.thepleasures.de . There is a GORKY PARK www.myspace.com/gorkyparkmusic music archivation process that I am taking part in and I translated
some American and German GORKY PARK press into Russian, while Leif helped
out with the Danish press. And the wonderful jewellery company PINKABSINTHE created a beautiful
chain called "Butterflies In The Rain", titled so after one of my newer
songs. Some fans might remember this because I have been playing it
live since 2008. This ballad will probably be released on MIRROR's third
album, since there seems to be no space left on the second one. I recommend
all of You to look at this chain and buy it on PINKABSINTHE's site:
http://www.etsy.com/listing/70973470/butterflies-in-the-rain . Cheers and... see ya! - Mike Breeze"
______________________________ "Я ещё жив! После моего концерта с группой RA:IN (featuring Пата из X JAPAN www.xjapanmusic.com) в Берлине в 2009-ом году было мало новостей из лагеря MIRROR. Наш второй альбом, к сожалению, по техническим причинам, ещё не готов. Но я не терял даром время и, помимо работы связанной с MIRROR, участвовал ещё в ряде проектов: Мне довелось написать обширный некролог для Скотта Колумбуса, очаровательного ударника MANOWAR, который внезапно скончался 4-ого апреля 2011-ого года в возрасте всего 54-ёх лет. Статья будет опубликована в старейшем
российском рок-журнале Роккор www.rockcor.ru . Но есть и хорошие новости! Например, я написал песни с группами ЕВРОЗИМА www.myspace.com/evrozima, САТАРИАЛ www.myspace.com/satarialrussian и моим старым партнёром по сцене, Лайфом "Dancette" Астроидом www.thepleasures.de . Я принимаю участие в процессе архивации музыки группы ПАРК ГОРЬКОГО www.myspace.com/gorkyparkmusic и перевёл много американской и немецкой прессы, связанной с ними, на русский, а с
переводами датской прессы помог Лайф. А замечательная юверирная фирма PINKABSINTHE разработала и выпустила в продажу красивую цепочку, названную "Butterflies In The Rain" ("Бабочки Под Дождём") в честь моей одноимённой песни, которую некоторые фэны уже слышали, так как я играл её почти на всех концертах начиная с 2008-ого года. Эта баллада выйдет наверное на третьем альбоме MIRROR, так как на втором уже не хватает места. Рекомендую всем посмотреть и купить цепочку здесь: http://www.etsy.com/listing/70973470/butterflies-in-the-rain . Желаю Вам всем здоровья и... увидимся! - Майк Бриз" ______________________________ "Ich lebe noch! Es gab nicht viele News aus dem MIRROR-Lager seit meinem Konzert mit
RA:IN (feat. Pata von X JAPAN www.xjapanmusic.com)
in Berlin in 2009. Leider ist unser zweites Album aus technischen Grunden noch nicht fertig.
Aber ich habe die Zeit genutzt um nebenbei auch an anderen Projekten
zu arbeiten: Ich wurde gebeten einen ausfuhrlichen Nachruf auf MANOWAR's charmanten
Drummer Scott Columbus zu schreiben, der am 4. April 2011 im Alter von
nur 54 gestorben ist. Der Artikel wird in Rockcor www.rockcor.ru - der alstesten russischen Rockzeitschrift - veroffentlicht. Aber es gibt auch gute Nachrichten! Ich habe Songs geschrieben, u.a. mit EUROZIMA www.myspace.com/evrozima,
SATARIAL www.myspace.com/satarialrussian und meinem langjahrigen Buhnenpartner Leif "Dancette" Astroid www.thepleasures.de . Au?erdem nehme ich teil am Musikarchivierungsprozess von GORKY PARK
www.myspace.com/gorkyparkmusic und habe amerikanische und deutsche GORKY PARK-Presse ins Russische
ubersetzt, wahrend Leif mit den Ubersetzungen aus der danischen Presse
geholfen hat. Und die wundervolle Juweliersfirma PINKABSINTHE hat eine schone Kette
kreiert, die auf den Namen "Butterflies In The Rain" getauft wurde,
inspiriert von meinem gleichnamigen Song, den ich seit 2008 bei vielen
Konzerten live gespielt habe, insofern durfte der Titel einigen Fans
vertraut sein. Die Ballade wird wahrscheinlich auf dem dritten MIRROR-Album
veroffentlicht, weil auf dem Zweiten kein Platz mehr zu sein scheint.
Ich empfehle Euch allen sich die Kette anzuschauen und zu kaufen auf
PINKABSINTHE's Seite: http://www.etsy.com/listing/70973470/butterflies-in-the-rain . Passt auf Euch auf und... wir sehen uns! - Mike Breeze"

official statement from Mike Breeze:
"Wow!
We celebrated our SHOCKING DEBUT release party on Friday, 24th August
2007 and it totally fucking ruled!
Kukuun in Hamburg proved to be a nice location, the fans in the first row went crazy (especially on Come To Me Baby), Ramin, Ian and our special guest Leif delivered one of their finest performances
ever to date, we had one Hell of an aftershow party and I ended the night in a close circle at the Elbe in Hamburg in the port area watching the dawn and the giant ships pass by...
What a night!
Rock'n'roll is worth it and if You fight for Your prize, You definitely get it!
Thanx to everyone who visited us at that evening! And to everyone on stage and in Kukuun.
Special thanx to our driver Carkus Schröter who ended up driving one of the fartherst living fans of that night home
to his hometown to the North of Germany - after delivering all the equipment back in my place. Thank You! The next day (Saturday) I had no time to relax or to write this message because I was spontaneously booked for Kiel-tv to introduce our CD and DVD there, to talk about the release party and
to play 1 song live backed up by my own electroacoustic Takamine guitar. I ended up playing 3: Night On Broadway, Don Quijote, Come To Me Baby.
While Mirror are busy working on the next record (as well as myself recording some solo tunes...), I found time to take care of something else, namely in October, I am organizing a live gig in Kiel for 2 very cool bands:
Flash (punk / glam
/ metal, St Petersburg) and Kater Fritz (psychedelic
rock, Hamburg)
2. October 2007, Tuesday, 8pm, entry: 4 euro. Prinz Willy, Lutherstr
9 (Südfriedhof), Kiel, Germany
**** Cheers ~ Mike Breeze"

"Nuclear Sky" featuring glorious guest vocals of Leif
Astroid (Jubilee*, The Pleasures) & BAT (Radkick). Once again, the single's inlay card has all the songs lyrics printed. On 13. August 2007,

from the bonus... "Golden Blues" will be track # 15 on the upcoming "Shocking
Debut" CD-album. This live audio recording of "Golden Blues" that You

aim is to direct our myspace fans to this official site because the credits

March 14, 2005 Due to re-construction works at the studio, the release date of Mirrors
new CD / DVD is postponed from June to August 2005.
To make the long wait more bearable for the fans, the decision has been
made to update the download section of the Mirror web site.
New download available to show some fresh colors of the new upcoming
releases...
The audio work-in-progress mix of "Red Dye" is a preview
of the "Red Dye" single, expected to be released in July 2005.
This version is a rough mix and not completely mastered yet. But this
single preview might give a hint to the audience of what the song is like.
The band (Mirror) hopes that people will buy the single even after downloading
this early preview version for free.
There will be some additional recording, cutting, mixing and mastering
prior to the singles and albums release.

December 14, 2004 Mirrors live gig in Kulturforum on 10th December was recorded on video by
3 cameras for possible inclusion of some songs onto the upcoming "Shocking
Videbut" DVD in 2005. However, the concert kicked of with a spontaneus short rendition of
Panteras "Walk" as a tribute to Dimebag Darrel (guitarist of Pantera and
Damageplan) who was tragically killed by a shooter at a Damageplan on 8th
December in Ohio. Official statement from Mike Breeze: "I did not want to write anything on this topic, because almost every rock
musician in the world commented on it already, much better than I can, but
then I realised that it is my duty not to remain silent on this tragedy.
Dimebag was a cheerful positive guy and one of the most influential guitarists
in the world. His death hit me really hard as if I was a member of his family.
In fact, I was, in some way, as a Pantera and Damageplan fan. Ramin was
also shocked and upset by this awful event. Our love goes to Dimebag as
well as Vinnie and the rest of Dimes family and friends. Dime, we will never
forget You! Keep on rocking with Freddie, hide, Bonham, Lennon and the rest of the heavens
crew! Dimebag - rest in peace! -Mike" |

However, hardships recording the album SHOCKING DEBUT forced Mirror to
delay the albums long anticipated release from August to late Autumn 2004. The simultaneous work on 2 preceeding singles and a DVD add more hardships,
but the involved are sure to have the products out yet in 2004 before
Winter.
The SHOCKING DEBUTOUR FINAL is scheduled for January 29, 2005, Saturday, in the discoteque Troijka, Haart 38 (near
the hospital), Neumnster, Germany.
