Cirrha Niva is looking for a new rhythm/lead guitarist
Carlo recently announced he will leave the band to focus on his private life. For eight years Carlo has been part of Cirrha Niva. We regret to see him go ‘cos we’ve made some damn good tunes together and experienced lots of happy moments. Personally and musically we thank him for the past years!

Are you, or do you know someone who is interested in being our guitarist?
Send us an e-mail: cirrhaniva@gmail.com

Carlo is willing to teach his parts to the new guitarist if needed, and he will gig with Cirrha Niva until a suitable guitarist is found.

Carlo’s will say goodbye to you all very soon! Good luck mate!!

Elger is doing fine!
Our drummer made national headlines this weekend when he injured himself during his job as a mailman. An approximately 3 inch piece from a metal fence pierced his groin when he stumbled over it. Today, stitched up and avoiding the double-bass parts, he was back in business. In a few weeks he will be the ‘old’ one again.

Brainstorm pictures to see.

This was probably your last chance to see us in 2011. We will totally focus ourselves on writing new songs for the For Moments follow-up. Needless to say that if the opportunity to hit the stage comes along we will take it.

Elsrock pics to show!

Hello everyone,

Herewith I announce my departure as the drummer of Cirrha Niva. I’m becoming a father in September and can no longer give myself 100% to the band. Although the band is still focusing on writing new material, after a good conversation I realized I would no longer fit in because of the future plans; considering more touring. So we decided to go separate ways.

I’m very grateful for being their drummer. I had a blast playing and writing new songs with these guys. I will never forget the great gigs we did! I wish them all the best and hope they will find a new drummer soon. I’d like to thank you all for supporting us!

I will still be playing and practicing drums. I hope to set-up my own fusion project next year. See ya!

Wiebe.

As result of this we are in search for a new drummer and bass player to complete the band. We are currently writing new songs for our next album.
Are you or do you know someone who is motivated, talented and loyal, then drop us a line at cirrhaniva@gmail.com,or Facebook.

None of the gigs will be canceled! Drummer Eelco van der Meer and bass player Alex van Damme (who helped us out more than once now) will step in temporarily.

Tour report with many Behind the Scene pics online

After lots of emails, phone calls and text messages Cirrha Niva’s part in Crimson Glory’s European Tour was a fact! And now, when it’s finished there is so much to share with you all that I could spent a whole week writing a tour report and after putting it live I would still feel the urge to add more details, anecdotes and pics.

An introduction to Jan van Baal
A short introduction to our new bass player Jan van Baal can be found in the
Band section. We skipped the favorite color part, but instead you can read some gear stuff, free time occupations and some previous bandnames (one of them being Legiah, the first band in which Carlo and Jan played together years and years ago...history repeats itself).

This week Jan will hit the stage for the first time as Cirrha Niva’s bass player as the European Tour with Crimson Glory and Triosphere starts!

Read the official Press announcement here!

Hello everybody,

After seven years with Cirrha Niva, I announce my departure from the band. This decision I’ve made, was a result of recent developments of different visions within the band. My departure is a decision I never wanted to make, but there was no other way than this one.
After a good conversation with the band we decided to go our own separate ways. I wish Carlo, Rob, Michel and Wiebe all the best for the future with Cirrha Niva.

Still I’m really proud of the fact that we’ve lifted Cirrha Niva onto a higher level after the release of the For Moments Never Done cd. The new material that is created for the new cd is really promising and I’m very happy that my influences are still in there.

‘till we meet again.

Daniël..

At the same time we like to introduce Jan van Baal as our new bass guitarist. Jan will have his first performance as a Cirrha Niva member on April 27 in Dynamo, Eindhoven. More info about Jan can be found on our website soon!

The first time the two bro’s sang together was captured on Cirrha Niva’s “For Moments Never Done” in a song called “The Fooling”. Legrand now returned the favor:-)
 

"Scarecrows & Lullabies" will hit the stores in april, but it’s possible to buy directly via the band...Check their facebook.
