From a newsletter at the time:
If anyone has a reason to feel nervous, it is new DAAU member Adrian Lenski who joins the group for his first tour. Adrian will now become a permanent feature of live performances adding piano and synthesizer to the DAAU sond. Adrian, the eldest of the three Lenski brothers, has recently graduated from De Singel in Antwerp where he studied composition. His skills are in evidence on the forthcoming DAAU CD where his most challenging task was to arrange and conduct and eighteen piece orchestra. Adrian has naturally followed the progress of DAAU since the outset and was a member of DAAU predecessor Subconciousness with technician Wim Dox. As part of the musical family Adrian and his brothers often perform informal concerts of chamber music at their home. The brothers have played together since before they can remember, their familial bond being evident in their musical synergy.
Despite having visited the region on three previous occasions, including an extended stay during the recording of their second album We Need New Amimals, the group is relatively unknown in Andalucia. Local poster campaigns have been undertaken and articles printed in the local press. All three hundred seats for the following show in Malaga are already tkan. All the shows are free to attend, tickets being made available by request at the local Centro Cultural.
