Poema Arcanus - Replacement Of The Bassist
There have been big News in the Arcane camp this last weeks, so here we go:
After more than 10 years playing with us, our bassist and old friend Claudio Botarro has left Poema Arcanvs. Personal issues are the main cause of his departure, and of course it has all been on friendly terms. We wish him the best of luck in his forthcoming projects (musical and not musical). Cheers Boterror! We'll miss you.
Well, the situation was known by us more than a month ago, but we decided not to say anything until we found a new member. And so we did.
So, now we are glad to present our new member: Mr. Juan Pablo "Hueso" Vallejos. He's been rehearsing with us for a couple weeks already and things have worked perfectly, given that he is a killer bassist which we knew from before. We cannot wait to play live again with this new line-up! Cheers and Welcome, Mr. Hueso!!!!
We will be updating the "Profiles" section of this site very soon, so you can know more about our new Arcane Bass Player.
About our forthcoming gig: well, we have already started rehearsing for the Unplugged gig in October ? the acoustic versions are sounding pretty good this far ? there's plenty of re-arranging done on the songs, so it is something really interesting and "special" to listen to, especially for the die-hard followers out there. We hope to see you all at the gig.
More news soon to come.
Arcane Cheers!
