# December 14, 2006 Pornoheft's new album released on Katze and Empty Head
Pornoheft's new album Das Neue Album was released on 30 November 2006, three days earlier than scheduled. Since last week, several websites, including myspace.com, had provided downloads of songs from Pornoheft's new album. Earlier, some sources said Pornoheft's record label Empty Head Records had anounced that the record was available. However, Oile Lachpansen from Katze Platten told Shanghai Morning Post yesterday they have released the record. Lachpansen said the record label brought the release date forward to minimize losses. The new album Das Neue Album, named in sequence after Pornoheft's most recent album Live at Vintage, continues in the same vein of Pornohefts's unique music style. Pornoheft again chose Uwe Lulis from Uwe Lulis Studio Frankfurt to be responsible for the recording, mixing and mastering of the album. Pornoheft is proud to announce that Lulis did a perfect job. The song Amuletto was awarded recently for "Best Mood in Punk, week of 11 Dec 2006" and "Punk Track of the Day on 18 Dec 2006" on garageband.com.

# December 4, 2006 Pornoheft's first Holland gig proven successful
Holland's first-ever Pornoheft gig has been proven successful, according to Greig Score, spokesman of Atelier Avalon in Tjuchem. Score told Pornoheft Research Team he felt quite well after the action period following the gig which took place in Tjuchem at 11 pm on December 2. "After seeing the band, I feel much at ease and more comfortable than prior to the concert," he said, giving the "V" sign with his left hand. Pornoheft decided to perform wearing new clothing that Hanna Hildebrand herself had developed after a decade of solid researches. The new costumes do change the physiological function of the performer, Sperber quoted Hildebrand, who received her artist degree at a German university. Based on utilization of several fabrics and cloths, Hildebrand was able to create extraordinary stage clothing for Pornoheft. The new costumes have been proven by Pornoheft to be the most effective and efficient ever. Sperber added: "We love Hanna, she is a wonderful fashion designer and a very gentle person. We also love that Hannas clothing is stage appropriate and can be washed and dried in the machine and hold up through many performances. Sif and Fisz also love Hanna's work and this is pretty much all that we dress in on stage."

# September 30, 2006 Rumours about a secret gig in Leipzig
Pornoheft, who enjoy rehearsing in Frankfurt am Main, have made it a tradition to warmup for a tour with a secret gig somewhere in Leipzig. Leipzig was first mentioned as ''urbs Libzi'' in the Chronicle's of Thietmar von Merseburg in 1015. Rumours have started going around that on October 7th there will be a gig for fan club members only. The corresponding club is denying this and saying that they are closed that night. However, from the above mentioned investigation it can be speculated that the club won't comment till the day after the concert about the gig. To unravel the possible role of Pornoheft, further studies are in progress.

# September 20, 2006 Free "Happy Lotto" compilation feat. Pornoheft

# August 15, 2006 Poland and Eastern Germany mission proves successful
In collaboration with Fat Flag and Mofa, Pornoheft has successfully demonstrated a panic/hardcore system as part of the first Extreme Volvoid Mission Operations (EVMO) on various locations in Poland and Eastern Germany. The 12-day mission, which began on August 4 and ended today, marks the first time in history an entire panic system was transported to an extreme environment and manipulated successfully from close range. The mission was defined by Dr. Roland Fettfleck, a professor in the Centre of Panic Rock University in Hamburg, Germany. The mission was funded by Katze Platten under the terms of a cooperative agreement and enabled by Pornoheft’s Research Team. "Previous research has shown that panic bands can adapt to audiences of 100 - 15500 people," said Oile Lachpansen, EVMO Mission Director. "However, this mission successfully demonstrated a volvoidity equivalent to the time it would take for an entire panic/hardcore system to travel to Poland. This truly was a noteworthy artistic achievement. This mission demonstrated another practical application of this important technology, which has the potential to provide concerts in remote regions on earth." Pornoheft pioneered this technology in the 1980s with the development of a system that offers concert bookers and record labels the full sensory experience of conventional hands-on procedures while being minimally invasive to the bands. Today, Pornoheft is the global leader in the rapidly emerging field of booker-assisted minimally invasive operations.

The band said Saturday, that they will also perform August 10th, together with Fat Flag and Mofa, at Berlin's famous underground club Wild at Heart. Pornoheft has performed more than 3K concerts together since their first show in 1990 in Rome. One of their traditions has been to sing together on every Friday, 11th of August. Therefore, at this year's show, Pornoheft will be joined by Fat Flag and Mofa at Klub Trzebiel, Trzebiel.

# May 2, 2006 Research Team to investigate more "global" aspects
Thanks to Pornoheft Research Team, one hundred and fifty years after the first public demonstration of ether, Pornoheft remains on the forefront of panic innovation. During the next decade, one of the most interesting areas of Pornoheft Research Team's investigation will be that of the "global" aspects of panic music. With the mapping of music history completed, qualities relating to the impact of specific modalities on varying genres can now be explored. You may ask, "What is the relevance of this to the practice of panic?" The answer will include exploration of numerous areas including identifying the mechanisms responsible for different responses to various intra- and post-operative music modalities. In the era of "evidence" based music, the specialty of panic music is ideally suited to serve as the model for these investigations. These investigations significantly advance Pornoheft's general understanding of music including understanding basic papers with a relevance to Pornoheft's present topics.

# April 19, 2006 Pornoheft backs overseas investment

Foreign firms will be welcome to invest in Pornoheft, despite fears inflows are swelling the band's currency reserves. Sif Sishes, of Pornoheft's foreign investment office, said Pornoheft "will not change" the policy of encouraging foreign investment. "We can't say that foreign investment in Pornoheft has already become saturated," he said on Tuesday. He also said Pornoheft was working on their proposed album release and would issue it very soon. His remarks came after idiot!, former lead singer of Frau Aal, said Pornoheft could attract more direct investment if it set up transparent vinyl records and multi-page booklets. "There actually is a possibility of even more investment in Pornoheft," said Dishes, and Pornoheft would benefit from the faster growth and greater economic efficiency that money generates. Pornoheft has been attempting to increase investment continuously in some sectors, such as the recording and production facilities, global distribution channels and advanced booking industries.

# April 17, 2006 Underground Electronic Compilation featuring Pornoheft
Aldi recently presented his first collection of underground electronic music. Titled 'Pisse am Elektrozaun', it aims to extremely stimulate and encourage the electronic panic underground scene as much as it does to represent it. One side-effect of music created in rehearsal rooms and recording studios tends to be isolation - no one knows what anyone else is doing unless they make the effort to find out. This leads to some exciting innovations and techniques, but with the huge scope for collaboration and mutual remixing that music offers, it's a shame to let opportunities slip by. The compilation collects the best and most individual electronic music made in recent years. 'Pisse am Elektrozaun' is available at Aldi.

# April 15, 2006 Pornoheft Records to be renamed Pornoheft Entertainment
Pornoheft of Europe today announced that Pornoheft Records is no longer. In its stead will be a new arm of Pornoheft Entertainment, headquartered in the German financial center of Frankfurt am Main. The change will take effect at the start of Pornoheft's fiscal year, which ends today. In a statement, Vink Sperber said that the name change was part of an overall internal restructuring. "After months of discussion and further months of legal investigation, we're finally comfortable moving forward with new names. The new name for the Records Division is 'Pornoheft Entertainment'. The documentation and product strings will be updated soon. In addition to securing Pornoheft Entertainment, we've also got the OK from those contributing legal resources to use the name 'The Making of Bild 0'. Hopefully this will be the end of naming legal issues for a while." When complete, said restructuring will unify the division's public relations, release and booking operations into a single corporate hierarchy. Besides its Frankfurt HQ, Pornoheft Entertainment is planning to run satellite offices in London, Paris, Stockholm, Madrid, and the Dutch city of Apeldoorn, but did not specify what exactly the restructuring would entail or whether or not any jobs would be cut. Pornoheft has gathered all of the requisite skills and resources for commercialization, and is channeling them towards bringing the new album to the market through clinical development as expeditiously as possible.

# April 10, 2006 Vink Sperber moves into new 'household'

Pornoheft are planning a limited edition 7" release ahead of their long awaited full album thisyear, which is based on Vink Sperber's online novella "The Making of Bild 0". According to Sperber's web site, the release will precede a "conventional CD" in August and fulfills Pornoheft's promise not to tour unless new music was in the pipeline. A full album release was delayed after Sperber committed himself to cooking, but the band now look set to return to action. Since then, Pornoheft have completed 2 new songs, one of which is full-length and quite complex, the other shorter, punchier or simple and ballad-like. As previously reported, Pornoheft will hit the road in Europe this summer beginning August 5 in Les´na, Poland. Further dates are in the works for later in the year.

Saturday, August 5, Lesna, Poland, Uwaga Open Air, + various other bands

# March 1, 2006 Magical evenings with glow in the dark clothing
Pornoheft is expanding their successful shirt line with a luminous version. As far as we know, it is the first of its kind in the world. The Magical Shirt, which was designed by Pornoheft, is manufactured in 100% cotton, which in the luminous version is partly supplemented with highly phosphorescent material. Thus the new shirt has a decorative, sculptural, entirely magical effect at night - besides being comfortable wearing it. The new Magical Shirt is manufactured in 12 different colours, with unbeatable quality and great manufacturing, double stitched on all borders, and can be used both outdoors and indoors. It has been tested at various temperatures between -60 to +60 degrees Celsius and can be assembled in 30 seconds without tools. The Magical Shirt works by absorbing light and then releasing it creating a glow in the dark effect. That's why the Magical Shirt recharges when exposed to light and glows in the dark.

# January 5, 2006 Pornoheft to play Köln in January
A gig is a temporary gathering of people together with their instruments, which they connect to amplifiers in a local public area primarily for the purpose of playing music for money and publicity. These gigs come in various sizes, from the very small (2 people) to the very large (4000+ people). Small gigs can form spontaneously, but large ones usually require a fair amount of planning and preparation on the part of the organizing team. A small gig requires amplifiers with enough ports to accommodate all the instruments, stacks of speakers, a fair amount of power, and suitable surfaces for all the customers. For all sizes providing food and beverages is often also a must, though customers sometimes try to contribute certain resources.
