| 09.09.2009 | The friends and family of
Bruno Adams would like to thank everyone who took part in, or attended, the two
tribute concerts that took place in Ebensee on August 29th and in Berlin on September 2nd,
2009. Also a big THANKYOU to the organisers of these two events (especially Tine Neumann,
Phil Freeborn and Ollie Peters), and the club owners and managers who made them possible
(thanks Konrad, thanks Tammy). We managed to collect quite a bit of money to help Katka
with the funeral costs, so as well as throwing a damn good send-off party
for Bruno, we actually achieved something practical. Again, thanks to everyone who
gave their support in whatever way. The next tribute concert will be in Prague on
16/10/2009. Phil Shoenfelt, Prague, 8/9/2009 |

| 27.04.2009 | Thanks to all of you who attended Bruno's funeral on Saturday in Berlin. And thanks, too, to the hundreds of well-wishers who sent messages through the post, by phone and through My Space, but who couldn't be there in person. It was a sad, but beautiful affair, a fitting send-off for a man whose big heart, warmth and musical talent affected so many people. And as someone who loved life and loved people, I am sure that Bruno would have been touched by the huge outpouring of love and affection that his passing occasioned. I would just like to mention that there will be at least two tribute concerts in the coming weeks and months to celebrate Bruno's music and his life: one in Berlin and one in Prague. There may be other concerts organised in other cities as well. As soon as we have any idea of the times, dates and venues, we will post this news on the Fatal Shore homepage and My Space sites. Phil Shoenfelt |
| 20.04.2009 | The date and time of Bruno's
funeral has now been set, and all those wishing to pay their final respects
are welcome to attend. The service will take place at 12 noon on Saturday 25th
April at Alter Luisenstadt Kirchhof, Südstern 8-12, 10961 Berlin. Update: Apparently there are several entrances to the cemetery. Please use the entrance on Südstern 8-12 (not Bergmannstr. 39-47). And after the funeral there will be an informal get-together in Hasenheide Park, a short distance from the cemetery. Any of Bruno's friends are welcome to come along and make a kind of picnic. Food and drink swill not be provided, so please bring your own refreshments. In the evening there will be an informal reception at the Trödler club in Kreuzberg, a favourite haunt of Bruno's. Again, all are welcome. |
| 18.04.2009 | For those of you who don't already know, Fatal Shore singer and frontman Bruno Adams died peacefully in his sleep in the early hours of Saturday morning, 18/4/2009.
Bruno had been battling cancer for five years with all the strength and courage he could muster. But in the end time ran out, and he passed away at home in Berlin, surrounded by his family and close friends. Although in great physical pain, Bruno never once gave in to self-pity or despair. He loved his wife Katka and his three children with a depth of passion that never faltered, and in spite of his rapidly deteriorating condition, he managed to remain lucid and aware right up until the end. Bruno loved life and he loved people, and for him to be taken from us at such a young age is a tragedy that we will all suffer to come to terms with. The wonderful music he made will continue to inspire, and everyone whose life he touched (and there are many), will remember this unique and beautiful character with the deep love and respect that were the hallmark of Bruno's own attitude to life.
Bruno Adams: Born 02/09/1963, Bacchus Marsh, Australia. Died 18/04/2009 R.I.P. Berlin, Germany. Details about Bruno's funeral will be posted on the Fatal Shore homepage as soon as we know them. The funeral will take place in Berlin, and all Bruno's friends are welcome to attend. If you would like to send a message of condolence, go to: www.myspace.com/fatalshore

| May 2008 | Please note - The concert in Teplice, Czech Republic (31st of May) and the concert in Berlin, Germany (1st of June) are cancelled. |
| January 2008 | "Real World" is available
now through Glitterhouse Mailorder: "Wer in 11 Jahren nur 3 Alben aufnimmt, der scheint viel Wert auf ein perfektes Ergebnis zu legen. Mit Sicherheit ist dies auch hier der Fall; neben der räumlichen Entfernung der vier Bandmitglieder: Der Exil-Engländer Phil Shoenfelt (Ex-Khmer Rouge und großartiger Untergrund-Literat) lebt seit vielen Jahren in Prag, die beiden Australier Bruno Adams (ex-Once Upon A Time) und Chris Hughes (der Drummer von Hugo Race’s True Spirit) ebenso wie Bassist YoYo Röhm (hauptberuflich inzwischen bei Les Hommes Sauvages) sind in Berlin ansässig. Größtenteils balladesk gehalten atmet "Real World“ denn auch alles, was man bei diesen Zutaten erwarten kann, emotionale Tiefe, Sentiment, den morbiden Charme des alten Europa gepaart mit der weiten Melancholie des fünften Kontinents, die ähnlich das Werk der Triffids oder Simon Bonney’s Crime & The City Solution durchzieht. Dazu kommt, dass Shoenfelt ein zwar beinahe unspektakulärer, aber großer Sänger mit dunklem Timbre, durchaus in einer Reihe mit Leuten wie Leonard Cohen, Scott Walker oder Nick Cave stehend ist. Aber auch Bruno Adams ist deutlich präsenter als auf den Vorgängeralben und steht Shoenfelt gesanglich kaum nach, Höhepunkt hier das Duett der beiden bei der Jacques Brel-Coverversion von "If You Go Away“. Die meist von Phil Shoenfelt und Bruno Adams gemeinsam geschriebenen Songs sind atmosphärisch dichte, dunkle Kurzgeschichten, wundervoll arrangiert mit exzellenten Streichern an den richtigen Stellen, sanft echoenden Hammond-, Piano- oder Vibraphonklängen und – hier kommt der Poet Shoenfelt durchweit über das übliche Rockschema herausragender lyrischer Qualität. Zur richtigen Zeit wird auch das Tempo angezogen, wie auf dem brillianten Desert Rocker "The Train Song“, oder dem Border-Music gefärbten "Blind Jesus“. Große Empfehlung für Freunde der Tindersticks, Leonard Cohens, Nick Caves, der Triffids oder Les Hommes Sauvages.(rh)" See "gigs" for the upcoming Fatal Shore spring tour |
