Italian Fashion designers Dr Frederick and Crazy Max, founders of Italy's hottest new clothing line ShitHappens (www.shithappens.iti), decided to use the song "So Nice" as an intro for their website and as their brand song.

"So Nice" is one of the tracks on Andre's Power World Fantastic album and the guys at ShitHappens thought its playful and party-like style was perfect for the overall vibe of the brand.

ShitHappens.it will officially go live at the end of October, on the internet and at selected stores.

The title track from Andre's CD Power World Fantastic is now available as a streaming single at the revamped www.myspace.com/andretonelli.

InTuneGP is one of the world's leading picks manufacturers, and their clients list is a who's who of rock'n'rol: Black Sabbath, Witesnake, Ozzy, Machine Head... the list goes on and on...

For obvious reasons, picks are a major concern for Andre, and it took a long time for him to settle on a company: "I was checking out different manufacturers and Bert was definitely the most helpful and knowledgeable of them all. He went to great lenghts to answer all my questions, and had samples of all his picks sent to my house for evaluation. The quality is top notch and I am looking forward to creating interesting lines of picks."

Check back for more details in the upcoming weeks. Visit InTuneGP at: www.intunegp.com

"Hello, Andre here. I am returning tomorrow from Switzerland after a short holiday. The day before getting here I had a small accident to my left hand, the middle and ring finger, specifically.
It didn't stop mefrom skiiing but it made it impossible to play the guitar at all. I'm afraid I will have to wait another week before my hand is back to normal.
The middle finger was badly swallen and had to put a splint on it. Slowly it's going back to its original size, though. :)
Despite the accident, I enjoyed a wonderful beginning of this New Year with my family and I hope you all had a great time.
May your 2008 be full of positive vibrations and happiness. And take care of your hands!"

Andre

The release of Andre's instrumental album Power World Fantastic has been pushed back to early 2008 for technical reasons. "Very recent significant upgrades to my gear offer much better sound and possibilities that would be a mistake not to include in the record." says Andre. "I apologise for the delay but it will only be a short one, and definitely worth it."

As soon as the studio is set up, we will post a video interview with Andre detailing his recording gear, signal chain, and so on.

Andre is currently recording the guitar parts for his next release Power World Fantastic. While we are waiting to put together a complete photo gallery documenting the making of the record, here's a couple of new pictures from the studio, and a message from Andre:

"Just finished all the guitar parts (minus the solo) for the first song. Everything should be going smoothly now, since the hardest part was to find a sound for the record, and I think I got that. There are plenty of options and the margin for self-indulgence and self-doubt is huge when you have your own studio... Can't wait to play these songs for you!"
"The AT Signature Model is serving me great and it offers so many tonal possibilities that I don't think I'll need anything else for the whole album."

You will most likely find fairly regular updates regarding the making of the record on these pages.

Also, in response to some emails , there are currently no plans of releasing any music before it is completed, for simple quality-control issues.

"I'm proud to unveil the all-new www.andretonelli.com. The new website, designed to accompany the release of my first full-lenght instrumental album, features a much faster and efficient design, a great new look, and enough interesting information to keep you busy for a long time!"

The website is now available to all users. New things will be added regularly. Look out for a video feature on the making of Andre's signature guitar and info on the new album. Thank you for visiting the new andretonelli.com!

In March, 2007 Andre was considering different endorsement opportunities. Just when things seems to be leaning towards a manufacturer, famed Spanish luthier Jose Ramos called to discuss and endorsement agreement. That was the beginning of the AT Signature Guitar Model.

After seeing some of Jose's handmade instruments, Andre chose to bypass the better known guitar companies and embark in an exciting journey that would take them from concept and design all the way to a finished instrument.

Everything on this guitar has been made to Andre's exact specifications, starting with the body shape and contour, and ending with the electronics setup and hardware. Jose is one of the most talented electric guitar luthiers in Spain, and was able to bring everything to a new level, artistically and musically.

We are working on a special feature on the guitar to appear on this website shortly. We will also be providing ordering information for the instrument on these pages, after discussing the details with Mr. Ramos.

For more info on the making of the guitar make sure you visit Andre's diary page at this address: www.atdiary.blogspot.com
