...And they rose from ashes. We are proud and honoured to announce that the Postyr "Quartet" won the 3rd prize in the Leipzig A Cappella Competition hosted by the fabulous vocal group Amarcord. Once again, we would like to thank all the people, who helped us make the best of this Kamikaze Project. Just to name a few: Kasper Schou, Janette Riebeck, Katrin Haase and Daniel McDonald. Line also sends her warmest regards. She is currently out of the hospital, and she will be back singing with the rest of the group in a couple of weeks.

Kamikaze Postyr Goes KAMIKAZE! Line was involved in a traffic accident in downtown Aarhus early on Wednesday afternoon.
While she is hospitalized with a severe concussion, the rest of us are doing the best we can to hold our heads up high on our way to crash and burn in the Leipzig A Cappella Competition on Friday afternoon.
As for Line, she is going to be all right soon, but she will have to take easy for the next couple of weeks or so. We are all very much affected by the incident, though. Any good vibes and energy you can spare will be very much appreciated by us all.
