Get 'Haywire':
2008:
State of Being appears on a new compilation CD out of Germany titled "Ultra Dark Radio - Compilation Volume III: The New Wave" with an exclusive remix of [Beneath The Skin], the disco über alles mix - remixed by Andy Kubiszewski. The release is available now in iTunes and most other on-line retailers.
Former State of Being guitarist/keyboardist Michael Demagall has spawned a pair of new projects. Appropriately enough, each project explores one of his instruments: Q is a guitar-based project, while Syn explores a funkier electronic realm.
State of Being founding member Christopher Foldi has started a new electronic project called frigiD. From Christopher, "The vibe is retro/future/club/euro, combining the glitch and glitz of Goldfrapp with the allure of INXS and futurism of Gary Numan." Check out the myspace page for the latest material, including a cover of the Classics IV's [Spooky].
State of Being's [Virtual Addiction] has been "remixed" by frigiD. Video footage from 14 years ago has been resurrected for the cause. Check it out:
